1. An occupant protection device comprising:
- a plurality of gas generators that are provided in respective mechanisms for protecting an occupant to generate gas for actuating the respective mechanisms; and
a control portion that performs control such that, if a condition for actuating at least one of the gas generators is fulfilled and conditions for actuating the other gas generators different from the one of the gas generators whose condition is fulfilled are unfulfilled, the one of the gas generators whose condition is fulfilled is actuated, and performs control such that the other gas generators whose conditions are unfulfilled are actuated at a timing that is uninfluential on an actuation state of one of the mechanisms which is actuated by the one of the gas generators whose condition is fulfilled and that is different from a preset timing for actuating the other mechanisms which are actuated by the other gas generators whose conditions are unfulfilled.

Abstract
An occupant protection device includes a plurality of gas generators that actuate respective mechanisms, and a control portion that actuates the gas generators. If a condition for actuating at least one of the gas generators is fulfilled and a condition for actuating the other gas generators are unfulfilled, the other gas generators are controlled by the control portion at a timing that is uninfluential on an actuation state of one of the mechanism actuated by the one of the gas generators and that is different from a preset timing for actuating the other mechanisms actuated by the other gas generators.

8. An occupant protection device comprising:
-
an airbag bag body provided with at least one of a lid member that covers a vent hole for adjusting an internal pressure of the airbag bag body and a strap that regulates a size of deployment of the airbag bag body; a change portion that changes at least one of the internal pressure of the airbag bag body by opening of the lid member and a deployment capacity of the airbag bag body by cancellation of regulation by the strap; a first gas generator that generates gas for deploying the airbag bag body; a detection portion that detects at least one parameter selected from information on whether an occupant wears a seat belt, information on an intensity of a crash, information on a build of the occupant, and information on a posture of the occupant; a second gas generator that actuates the change portion based on the information detected by the detection portion; and a control portion that performs control such that the first gas generator is actuated if only a condition for deploying the airbag body is fulfilled, and performs control such that the second gas generator is actuated at a timing after a lapse of a predetermined time from a timing when the first gas generator is controlled. - View Dependent Claims (9)

10. An occupant protection device comprising:
-
a seat belt unit including a seat belt that restrains an occupant and a retraction unit that retracts the seat belt; a tensile force adjustment portion that adjusts a tensile force applied to the seat belt so as to reduce the tensile force if the occupant is restrained by the seat belt; a first gas generator that generates gas for rotating the retraction unit so as to retract the seat belt; a detection portion that detects information on a build of the occupant; a second gas generator that generates gas for actuating the tensile force adjustment portion based on the information on the build of the occupant detected by the detection portion; and a control portion that performs control such that the first gas generator is actuated if a condition for actuating only the first gas generator is fulfilled, and performs control such that the second gas generator is actuated at a timing after a lapse of a predetermined time from a timing when the first gas generator is actuated.
