Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Seitenaufprallschutzeinrichtung in einem Kraftfahrzeug (1) mit einem Airbag (6) und einem Gasgenerator (9), der in strömungstechnischer Verbindung mit dem Airbag (6) steht und bei Vorliegen entsprechender Sensordaten über ein Steuergerät aktiviert wird, wobei der Airbag (6) sich in einem entfalteten Zustand zwischen einem Fensterausschnitt (14) einer Kraftfahrzeugstruktur und einem Fahrzeuginsassen erstreckt und den Fensterausschnitt (14) zumindest teilweise bedeckt. Der Airbag (6) weist zumindest zwei Kammern (10, 20) auf, von denen die erste Kammer (10) im entfalteten Zustand den Fensterausschnitt (14) teilweise überdeckt und sich von dem Fensterausschnitt (14) bis zum Thorax-Bereich und die zweite Kammer (20) sich nur im Thorax-Bereich zwischen dem Fahrzeuginsassen und der Kraftfahrzeugstruktur erstreckt.The invention relates to a side impact protection device in a motor vehicle (1) with an airbag (6) and a gas generator (9), which is in fluid communication with the airbag (6) and is activated via a control device if corresponding sensor data is present, wherein the airbag ( 6) extends in a deployed state between a window cutout (14) of a motor vehicle structure and a vehicle occupant and at least partially covers the window cutout (14). The airbag (6) has at least two chambers (10, 20), of which the first chamber (10) partially covers the window opening (14) in the deployed state and extends from the window opening (14) to the thorax area and the second Chamber (20) extends only in the thorax region between the vehicle occupant and the motor vehicle structure.
