Airbag arrangement, comprising pressure regulating device with sensor determining data of individual occupant

摘要

The airbag unit (1) comprises the inflatable bag (2) and a gas generator (3) connected to a duct (4) guiding the gas into airbag (2). The pressure level created inside the bag (2) can be regulated with a laterally positioned device (5) operated with a control element (51). The weight and size of the occupant is checked by a sensor (6) in case of a collision and an optimal pressure level for the airbag (2) determined. Surplus gas is released from the container (2) in order to avoid injuries caused by the contact with a too rigid airbag (2).
