AIRBAG DEVICE, AND VEHICLE OCCUPANT'S LOWER LIMB PROTECTING DEVICE AND DEVICE FOR PROTECTING OCCUPANT IN CASE OF VEHICLE SIDE COLLISION USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an airbag device, improving degree of freedom in setting reaction force depending on a difference in occupant's physical frame and provide a vehicle occupant's lower limb protecting device and a device for protecting an occupant in a vehicle side collision using the same.

SOLUTION: Knees of an occupant of large build whose inertia load in a collision is great are surely protected by impact absorption of the whole of the upper cylinders and the lower cylinders in the collision. In the case of an occupant of small build whose inertia load in a collision is small, loads from the upper cylinders and the lower cylinders are exerted on the occupant in appropriate proportions according to a difference in physical frame of the occupant to fulfill impact absorption in the collision.
