Front seat passenger airbag arrangement for preventing collision of front seat passenger head at instrument panel during accident, has upper and lower stiff portions exhibiting larger compression strength than energy absorption portion

摘要

The arrangement has an energy absorption portion i.e. silicone frame (2), arranged between upper and lower stiff portions (1A, 1B) of a weft channel (1), where the stiff portions exhibit larger compression strength than the energy absorption portion. The energy absorption portion comprises a separate energy absorption body that deforms to absorb collision energy. The energy absorption portion comprises a wall weakening such as folding, wall thickness reduction and/or recess. The energy absorption portion is made of plastic or metal, and the stiff portions are made of hard plastic.
