Abstract:
1. A side airbag for a vehicle, comprising: an inflator provided on a seat side frame in a seat of the vehicle; a first cushion part installed in a seat side pad mounted on the seat side frame, wherein the first cushion part while deflated wraps around a front edge of the seat side frame and is fluid-connected to the inflator, and wherein the first cushion part inflates to displace the seat side pad to push an occupant sideways through the seat side pad as the inflator inflates the first cushion part; a second cushion part integrally and fluidly connected to the first cushion part so that when gas is supplied from the inflator into the second cushion part via the first cushion part, the second cushion part protrudes out of the seat side pad to protect a side portion of a body of the occupant; and a tether having a first end directly connected to a terminal end of the first cushion part and a second end connected to an inner side of the side seat frame adjacent the first cushion part to support the first cushion part so that the first cushion part continues to wrap around the seat side frame while the first cushion part inflates.
