Side airbag apparatus
First Claim
1. A side airbag apparatus, which deploys an airbag between an occupant of a vehicle and a sidewall of said vehicle in order to protect said occupant in the event of side collision of said vehicle, said side airbag apparatus comprising;
- a lower airbag unit, which has a waist airbag, which deploys toward the hip of said occupant and pushes the hip of said occupant in the direction opposite to said sidewall, an inflator, which generates gas for inflating said waist airbag and supplies said gas to said waist airbag, and a module case, which stores said waist airbag and said inflator therein; and
a control unit, which ignites said inflator in order to generate gas when the accelerated velocity of greater than the prescribed value is detected.

Abstract
The present invention relates to the side airbag apparatus, which deploys an airbag between an occupant of a vehicle and a sidewall of said vehicle in order to protect the occupant in the event of side collision of the vehicle.
This side airbag apparatus 10 has a lower air bag unit and a control unit. The lower airbag unit has a waist airbag 15, which deploys toward the hip of the occupant M and pushes the hip of the occupant M in the direction opposite to the sidewall, an inflator 16, which generates gas for inflating the waist airbag 15 and supplies gas to the waist airbag 15, and a module case 17, which stores the waist airbag 15 and inflator 17 therein.
The control unit ignites the inflator 16 in order to generate gas when the accelerated velocity of greater than the prescribed value is detected.
