Abstract
A vehicle seat assembly includes a frame for mounting the seat to a vehicle. The seat assembly also includes a seat pad located proximate the frame. A trim cover is disposed over the seat pad, and includes a seam adjacent a side of the seat pad. An airbag assembly, which includes an airbag and an inflator configured to supply gas to the airbag, is also part of the seat assembly. A force concentrator covers at least a portion of the seat pad for protecting the pad during deployment of the airbag. The force concentrator includes an inner panel attached to the airbag assembly and an outer panel attached to the frame. The panels form a deployment channel for the airbag, and thereby inhibit contact of the airbag with the seat pad as the airbag deploys.
