Abstract
An airbag assembly includes an inflator to supply inflation gas, a main airbag cushion configured to receive inflation gas to expand and deploy toward a vehicle seating position, and a support airbag cushion. The main airbag cushion includes an impact surface to constrain occupant movement in a forward direction. The support airbag cushion expands and deploys from a position forward of the main airbag cushion to support it. The support airbag cushion has side tethers configured to constrain upward expansion and impart forward stiffness. The support airbag cushion also includes a support surface configured to restrain forward movement of the main airbag cushion.
