Impact cushioning device

摘要: An impact cushioning device is described for use in preventing direct contact between the terminal end portion of an elongated object and a person that may be driven toward any reason. The has application vehicle to protect occupant from impacting upon sudden deceleration comprises inflatable safety bag having reservoir portion, cushion duct which provides fluid communication cushion. includes flow baffles orifices restricting free-flow pressurized gas until substantially fully inflated providing pressure gradient through period can occur. two complementary sections abut each other axial direction when inflated, condition engages object. along interface interlocked prevent separation event with by moving axially towards also have cover provide smoother surface impact. normally stowed at position remote and, moves over covers latter.
