ABSTRACT:
In a vehicle, a bumper-air bag system has a resilient bumper with a quantity of compressed gas therein. The resilient bumper is attached to one or more valve assemblies which have an enclosed air-tight region defined by a pair of cylindrical members. A valve inside the enclosed region is mechanically opened by movement of one of the members relative to the other in response to an impact on the bumper. Compressed gas, stored in the enclosed region, the resilient bumper, or both, is released into a passageway, connected directly to one or more air bags, to inflate the air bags when the valve is opened.
