Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in the case of employing the technique of the above-mentioned patent document, it is not necessarily possible to properly bear the occupant (the occupant cannot be sufficiently restrained)
For example, when the head of the occupant contacts the front airbag obliquely forward, the front airbag may deform obliquely due to the load input to the front airbag from the contacted head obliquely forward.
If such deformation occurs, the occupant's head will easily move laterally along the rear surface of the front airbag (that is, move from the central part of the front airbag to the peripheral part), and thus cannot pass through the front airbag with sufficient force. to bear the occupant's head, which may not properly protect the occupant

Abstract

The invention relates to an airbag apparatus and a vehicle equipped with same. The airbag apparatus includes a first airbag (10) that deploys rearward from a position in front of an occupant (D) upon an oblique collision and a second airbag (20) that deploys so as to cover a cabin side wall upon an oblique collision. The second airbag (20) includes a wraparound portion (23) which deploys so as to protrude towards the inside of the cabin at a position further on the front side from an outer edge portion (10a) that is a portion, opposing the cabin side wall, of a peripheral edge of the deployed first airbag (10) to restrict the outer edge portion (10a) from being displaced forward. Therefore, the airbag apparatus can be used properly protect passengers when an oblique collision of the vehicle occurs.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an airbag device for protecting occupants in the event of an oblique collision of a vehicle, and a vehicle equipped with the airbag device. Background technique [0002] In the event of an oblique collision accident in which the vehicle collides with a collision object from the oblique front, the occupant is pushed obliquely forward from the initial position (seating position). Conventionally, in order to protect the occupant when such an oblique collision accident occurs, airbags are deployed at both front and side positions of the occupant. [0003] For example, the vehicle disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2013-133049 (patent document) is equipped with: a front airbag deployed rearward from an instrument panel arranged at the front end of the vehicle compartment; The side parts (pillars or roof rails) expand downward. [0004] According to the technique of the above patent document, even if the...
