摘要

The device has connected airbags (40-44) located in the roof frame (50) above a side window (52), which form a curtain-like cover (51) in front of the window after inflation. The curtain is connected to the window column (53) next to the passenger during inflation to secure its against horizontal movements parallel to the window. The longitudinal axis of the airbags are mainly vertical, and the airbag (40) in front of the window column is connected to it via a roller blind-type guide (54).
