Abstract:
To protect the head as well as the breast and shoulders of a vehicle occupant during a frontal collision of a motor vehicle, a new safety device is proposed which has a collapsible hollow body in the form of a bellows, a cushioning pad surrounding the collapsible hollow body and camber means providing a camber at an upper portion of the cushioning pad. The device is usually mounted on an instrument panel of the motor vehicle. The cushioning pad is raised at its upper portion in unison with the camber means for receiving the occupant's head when the rear end portion of the cushioning pad is pressed upon and accordingly the hollow body is collapsed by the breast and shoulders of the occupant during the frontal collision.
