ABSTRACT:
A supplemental inflatable restraint is provided including an air bag housing positioned in an instrument panel lower surface with an open end extending toward the seated occupant, the open end having a top and a bottom; and an air bag which has a lower lobe for contact with lower extremities of a seated occupant and an upper lobe for contact with the torso of a seated occupant. The upper and lower lobes are separated by a first tether extending from an area generally adjacent to the top of the housing projecting generally toward the seated occupant. The air bag has a pressure restrictor creating a pressure differential between the upper and lower lobes. The upper lobe is subdivided by a second tether from an area adjacent to the top of the housing to an end of the upper lobe generally opposite the lower lobe.
