Abstract:
Multi-chamber airbag systems for use in aircraft and other vehicles are described herein. In some embodiments, an occupant restraint system includes a multi-chamber airbag that deploys from an occupant restraint (e.g., a lap seat belt) in an aircraft. The multi-chamber airbag can include a first portion that inflates generally upward in front of the occupant's torso, and a second portion that inflates in front of the first portion. The first portion and/or the second portion can include multiple chambers (e.g., generally cylindrical-shaped chambers) that, when inflated, provide the airbag with a shape and/or contact surfaces which can help to maintain the position of the airbag between the occupant and a strike object or hazard. In other embodiments, multi-chamber airbags configured in accordance with the present disclosure can me mounted to a structure (e.g., a monument, console, seat back, etc.) positioned generally in front of the occupant. The structure-mounted airbag can deploy generally toward the occupant in the event of a vehicle impact or other potentially harmful event to protect the occupant from impact injury.

Claim (Index 5):
An airbag assembly configured to protect an occupant seated in an aircraft seat in the event of an accident or other significant dynamic event, the airbag assembly comprising:\n a first airbag portion having at least a first chamber; a second airbag portion having second and third chambers in fluid communication with the first chamber, wherein the second and third chambers are configured to inflate side-by-side and the first chamber is configured to inflate adjacent to the second and third chambers; an active vent operably coupled to at least one of the first or second airbag portions; a first inflator; a second inflator; a first gas hose having a first end portion operably coupled to the first inflator and a second end portion in fluid communication with the first, second, and third chambers; and a second gas hose having a first end portion operably coupled to the second inflator and a second end portion operably coupled to the active vent, wherein the first inflator is configured to rapidly inflate the first and second airbag portions via the first gas hose in response to a first signal, and wherein the second inflator is configured to rapidly inflate the second gas hose and activate the active vent in response to a second signal, after the first signal.
