ABSTRACT:
A vehicular restraint system in which the airbag and the seatbelt structures are combined. The airbag is located in a pouch and either the lap or shoulder belt of the restraint assembly is threaded through the pouch together with a gas flow channel which is connected to the airbag within the pouch from a source of gas for inflating the airbag. Upon sensor indication of vehicle impact, the source of gas releases the gas through the gas flow channel into the airbag which is inflated in place. When the airbag is positioned on the vehicle occupant's lap, the airbag inflates upwardly from the lap position and when the airbag is positioned on the shoulder belt, the airbag inflates in both a downward and an upward direction.
