Deployable semi-rigid body contact restraint member with integral flexible expansion member

A vehicle-mounted deployable expandable restraint volume enclosure system comprising:

• at least one inflation device;
• a mounting base;
• at least one of a non-integrally molded, woven energy-absorbing flexible expansion member connected to said base, said woven energy-absorbing flexible expansion member including a body and an attachment portion having an edge bead;
• and
• at least one semi-rigid panel-like human body contact member having a first attachment wall and a second attachment wall, said attachment portion extending between said first wall and said second wall, and said edge bead being constrained thereby, said panel-like member being more rigid than said non-integrally molded, energy-absorbing expansion member.

A vehicle-mounted deployable expandable restraint volume enclosure system comprising:

• at least a first inflation device;
• a mounting base;
• at least one body contact panel composed of a first semi-rigid material, said panel having first and second attachment walls;
• and
• at least one pliable energy absorbing expansion member positioned between said mounting base and said semi-rigid contact panel, at least a portion of said expansion member being composed of a second material, said first material being more rigid than said second material said second material including a body and an attachment portion having an edge bead, said attachment walls constraining said bead.
