Abstract

A motor vehicle airbag system comprises a dual chambered combined head, torso, and knee airbag having a head and torso chamber and a lower extremities chamber in fluid communication with the head and torso chamber. A multidirectional inflator substantially simultaneously inflates both of the head and torso chamber and the lower extremities chamber. The head and torso chamber in the inflated condition acts against a head and a torso of the motor vehicle occupant to generate a restraining force against the occupant to mitigate contact of the occupant head and torso with the upper portion of the instrument panel during the impact event. The lower extremities chamber in the inflated condition acts against the pair of knees of the occupant to mitigate contact of the knees of the occupant with the lower portion of the panel during the impact event.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to an airbag used in a motor vehicle to optimize occupant protection during a frontal collision event, and more particularly to an airbag installed in the middle of an instrument panel to be triggered to inflate in the event of a frontal collision and to restrain the head of a motor vehicle occupant , Dual-chamber airbags for the trunk and lower limbs. Background technique [0002] For a long time, improving the collision avoidance of motor vehicles has become the goal of automakers and decision makers. In the United States, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208 was issued to encourage improved occupant response to frontal collision events. In summary, FMVSS 208 currently requires a simulation of vehicle occupants experiencing head and chest deceleration and right and left femoral loads within a specified range after a motor vehicle collides with a rigid barrier at a collision speed of 35 MPH. In add...
