OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM

摘要

An occupant restraint system includes a side airbag and an inflator. Th e airbag includes six cells that are defined by stitching and are adapted to b e inflated by a gas generated by the inflator. Among six end parts a to f of these cells, four end parts b to e are positioned on top of or in the vicinity of a center pillar garnish and a rear pillar garnish that include respective impact absorbing ribs. When the airbag is deployed, even if the end parts b to e cannot be inflated sufficiently due to the stitching, thereby exhibiting no impact- absorbing effect, the center pillar garnish and the rear pillar garnish instead exhibi t an impact-absorbing effect, thereby protecting an occupant.
