A light emitting display device, which is applied to a vehicle provided with an airbag device having an airbag accommodated in a folded state and an airbag cover with a shape of covering a vehicle interior of the airbag, the light emitting display device includes: a light emitting display part provided to the airbag cover, the light emitting display part configured to emit light using supplied power; a power feeding device including a power reception coil and a power transmission coil, the power feeding device configured to supply power to the light emitting display part in a non-contact manner, wherein: the power reception coil is provided to the airbag cover in a state of being integrated with the light emitting display part; and the power transmission coil is arranged at a position out of a range, in which the airbag is deployed, when the airbag device is operated.

Light emitting display device

An inflator includes an inflator body that produces an inflation gas by burning a gas generating agent and a sensor that is mounted on the inflator body and is capable of detecting a degradation of the gas generating agent. The sensor is preferably composed of at least either one of a gas sensor, a pressure sensor, or a temperature sensor.

Inflator

In a knee protecting airbag device (M), an airbag () folded and housed below a steering column () is expanded and inflated while rising from the lower side of the steering column () along a column cover lower surface () during an inflation process. The shape of the airbag having completed the inflation is in a generally plate shape capable of covering at least the lower surface of the column cover. Even if the knee of the driver comes close to the column cover when the driver depressing a brake pedal, therefore, the airbag being expanded and inflated goes smoothly into the clearance between the knee of the driver and the column cover lower surface. The airbag having completed the expansion and inflation protects the knee of the driver properly so that the knee may not interfere with the column cover.

Knee protecting airbag device

An inflator according to this invention has a structure that an interior part of a housing is charged with a pressurized gas and a gas generating agent capable of generating a gas when combusted, wherein the pressurized gas formed only of an inert gas; a quantity of heat to be generated when the gas generating agent is combusted is set within a range of 6000 to 10000 J/g; and a molar ratio between the pressurized gas and the combustion gas generated by the combustion of the gas generating agent is set within a range of 20 to 40.

The airbag device for front passenger's seat is mounted on the dashboard in front of the front passenger's seat. The airbag device for front passenger's seat includes an airbag to be inflated with the inflation gas, and an inflator for feeding the airbag with the inflation gas of pyro- and long mass flow type. The gas permeability rate of the airbag is 1.0 l/cm/min or under at 20 kPa air pressure, and its weight is 230 g/mor under. This airbag device for front passenger's seat prevents the gas leakage, expands and inflates the airbag properly, and constitutes to the weight reduction.

Airbag device for front passenger's seat

A first airbag apparatus of the present invention has an airbag module, which includes an airbag and an inflator, and a displacement mechanism, which displaces the airbag module. The displacement mechanism displaces the airbag module from an original position to a predetermined position when a collision of the vehicle is predicted and displaces the airbag module from the predetermined position to the original position when the predicted collision is avoided. A second airbag apparatus of the present invention has the airbag module and the displacement mechanism, which displaces a support member. The support member displaces the airbag from the original position to the predetermined position before the airbag is deployed. The deployed airbag is supported between the support body that is displaced to the predetermined position and an occupant.

Airbag apparatus

An airbag apparatus has an airbag, an inflator, a cover and an opening mechanism. When an impact the magnitude of which is greater than a predetermined value is applied to the vehicle, the inflator supplies gas to the airbag. The cover covers the airbag. The opening mechanism opens the cover prior to inflation of the airbag.

Air bag device for knee protection

In an air bag device, a folded air bag is accommodated in a condition that the air bag is enclosed by a sheet for preventing the air bag unfolded. The sheet has a regulation wall portion which covers an upper surface of the air bag on the side from which the air bag projects at the time of expansion. The regulation wall portion is provided with a breakable portion which can be ruptured by being pressed by the air bag at the time of expansion of the air bag. Further, the breakable portion is provided so as to be ruptured from one edge side (left edge side) of the circumferential edge sides of the regulation wall portion to the right edge side through the vicinity of the center.

Air bag device

An airbag system for a front passenger's seat of the top-mount type according to the invention is arranged in an instrument panel below a windshield. The front passenger's seat airbag system is constructed to comprise a door, a case and an airbag. The door is arranged on the upper face of the instrument panel. The case houses and holds the airbag in a folded state. The airbag, as housed in the case, is expanded by injecting an inflating gas into a gas inlet port so that the airbag protrudes to open the door and towards the rear side of a vehicle along the windshield. The airbag is equipped with a commutator cloth arranged to cover the gas inlet port. This commutator cloth is arranged to close the two sides in the transverse direction of the vehicle and to open the two sides in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. This front passenger's seat airbag system reduces the expansion rate of the airbag towards the rear of the vehicle.
