ABSTRACT:
An occupant protection system is provided in which parts along the length of the airbag inflate substantially at the same time. The occupant protection system includes an airbag inflatable on a seat pan such that it pushes the front of a seat cushion upward and a gas generator for inflating the airbag. The airbag extends along the lateral width of the seat. The airbag includes a partition panel extending along the length of the airbag therein. In one form, the partition panel partitions the interior of the airbag into a first chamber and a second chamber which extend from one longitudinal end of the airbag to the other end. The gas generator is disposed in the first chamber. The partition panel has communication holes for communicating the first chamber with the second chamber.
