PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLIST PROTECTION DEVICE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE, AND AIRBAG FOR USE IN SUCH A PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLIST PROTECTION DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a pedestrian and cyclist protection device for a motor vehicle, comprising an inflator and an airbag (10) which can be inflated by means of said insulator in front of an A beam (42) of the motor vehicle. The airbag (10) has a main body (12) which extends in a first direction (X) substantially parallel to the A beam (42) in front of the A beam (42) when the air bag is fully inflated. The main body (12) has at least two main chambers which extend parallel to each other in the first direction and which are separated by at least one shaping means. In order to provide a more improved protection of the pedestrian or cyclist to be protected, the airbag (10) has at least two additional bodies (20, 30) which are mutually spaced in the first direction and each of which has at least one additional chamber (22, 32), said additional bodies being located between the main body (12) and the A beam (42) when the airbag (10) is inflated and each additional body extending in a second direction (Y) that is substantially transverse, preferably perpendicular, to the first direction (X).
