Abstract:
An air bag restraint system including a unitary flexible bag having a plurality of compartments. The air bag in deflated condition is confined in a vehicle passenger compartment in spaced relationship to one of the adjacent passenger seating positions. The bag is inflatable for passenger restraint purposes by a pressurizing device. The bag is constructed and arranged so that during inflation it deploys towards one of the passenger seating positions, and also expands laterally across the vehicle interior in front of the adjacent passenger seating position.
