Abstract

An airbag system for mounting to a vehicle roof frame is described. Such an airbag system is often known as a curtain airbag system. The airbag system consists of a curtain airbag, an airbag housing, an inflator means for inflating the curtain airbag, and mounting means. The curtain airbag system is mounted in the proximity of the vehicle roof frame and is inflatable in the event of a side vehicle impact, or vehicle rollover event. The mounting means are substantially symmetrical mounting means located along a longitudinal axis of the airbag system to enable mounting of the airbag system to either side of the vehicle roof frame.
