LOW RISK DEPLOYMENT PASSENGER AIRBAG SYSTEM USING SLIM TYPE PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE

摘要

Disclosed herein is a low risk deployment passengerairbag system using a slim type passenger airbag module whichis minimized in height and/or length, such that a top airbagand a mid airbag can be installed in a limited space definedby an instrument panel. In the slim type passenger airbagmodule used in the low risk deployment passenger airbagsystem, a disk type inflator is used, unlike the conventionalart using a cylindrical inflator, an upper end of the diskinflator is disposed in an airbag housing, and a retainer forsupporting the cushion is brought into close contact with thebottom (or the rear surface) of the airbag housing in whichthe disk type inflator is provided, thus minimizing the heightand/or length of the passenger airbag module.
