<p>A system for restraining and protecting the occupants on the front seat of an automotive vehicle against injury as a result of a collision, wherein an expansible bag (35) is stored in a folded, inoperative position in a compartment (44) on the underside of the roof of the vehicle and generally overlying the laps of the driver and passengers. A pair of elongated arms (51, 52) are pivotally mounted in the vehicle for movement between an upwardly inclined, inoperative position adjacent the windshield posts (53, 54) to a downwardly inclined, operative position adjacent the inner sides of the side doors (21, 22). The distal ends (55) of the arms are connected to the expansible bag (35) and serve to rapidly withdraw and unfold the same from the storage compartment when the system is triggered. After the bag (35) is unfolded and deployed, fluid under pressure is supplied to a pair of laterally spaced compartments (37, 38) in the bag through passages (131, 132) in the arms. A central compartment (39) of the bag inflates with air at atmospheric pressure as a result of inflation of the laterally spaced compartments. </p> |
