US Patent 9533648 Vehicle far side airbag device

In a vehicle far side airbag device, a far side airbag is fixed to a seatback frame using stud bolts of an inflator. The far side airbag includes a bag portion at a face opposite a side face of the seatback frame. A support plate is retained in the bag portion and is fixed to the seatback frame using the stud bolts. The support plate is formed to be longer to both sides in a vehicle vertical direction than the inflator, and is engaged with the seatback frame at the vehicle upper side relative to the inflator. During inflation and expansion of the far side airbag, the support plate supports the far side airbag at both sides in the vehicle vertical direction of the inflator.
