Occupant protection device, for protecting vehicle occupants in the event of a crash, comprises two rows of horizontal cylindrical gas bags

摘要

The protection device is composed of at least two rows (16, 17) of horizontal cylindrical gas bags (15). Flat support elements are fitted in the intermediate cavity enclosed by the rows of gasbags to make them more resistant to bending in the inflated state. The outward-facing regions of the gas bags form a curtain-like impact surface for the occupants.
