Abstract

A structure for guiding deploy of an airbag on a seat of a vehicle includes a sewing pattern at a side of a seat back that corresponds to a deploy direction of the airbag; a cover sewn together with the sewing pattern, an end of the cover extending toward an airbag module; and a secondary cover attached to the cover and mounted to the airbag module. The cover may have a greater tensile strength than a tensile strength of the seat cover. The connector may include a female part with a hooked end and a blocking protrusion, and a male part with a blocking protrusion configured to be inserted into the blocking protrusion of the female part.

Claims

1. A structure for guiding deploy of an airbag on a seat of a vehicle, comprising:

a sewing pattern at a side of a seat back that corresponds to a deploy direction of the airbag;

a cover sewn together with the sewing pattern, an end of the cover extending toward an airbag module; and

a secondary cover attached to the cover and mounted to the airbag module.

2. The structure of claim 1, wherein the cover has a greater tensile strength than a tensile strength of the seat cover.

3. The structure of claim 1, wherein the connector comprises:

a female part comprising a hooked end and a blocking protrusion; and

a male part comprising a blocking protrusion configured to be inserted into the blocking protrusion of the female part.
