Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Kraftfahrzeugsitz mit einem Seiten-Airbag gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a motor vehicle seat with a side airbag according to the preamble of claim 1.

Seiten-Airbags gehören heute fast schon zur Standardausrüs­ tung von Kraftfahrzeugen. In aller Regel sind sie in die Rücken­ lehne eines Kraftfahrzeugsitzes integriert, wobei dafür Sorge zu tragen ist, dass sich der Airbag im Bedarfsfall ungehindert aus der Rückenlehne heraus in die gewünschte Richtung entfalten kann. Dazu ist eine entsprechende Austrittsöffnung für den Sei­ ten-Airbag in der Rückenlehne erforderlich, die ohne jede Ka­ schierung den ästhetischen Gesamteindruck des Sitzes stören wür­ de. Es gibt daher verschiedene Lösungen, deren Ziel es ist, Op­ tik und Funktionalität verträglich miteinander zu verbinden.Side airbags are almost standard equipment today processing of motor vehicles. As a rule, they are in the back backrest of a motor vehicle seat integrated, taking care to is that the airbag extends freely if necessary unfold the backrest in the desired direction can. There is a corresponding outlet opening for the screen ten airbag required in the backrest, which without any Ka the overall aesthetic impression of the seat de. There are therefore various solutions, the aim of which is to op To combine technology and functionality in a compatible manner.

Eine häufig zu findende Lösung besteht darin, den Austritt mit dem Bezugsstoff der Polsterung zu überziehen (EP 0 751 047 A1), DE 195 38 657 A1, DE 196 36 660 A1). Es sind ganz spezielle Nähte im Bezugsstoff vorgesehen, die beim Auslösen des Seiten- Airbags aufreissen, damit sich dieser ungestört aufblasen kann. Ein Vorteil dieser Lösung ist darin zu sehen, dass der ästheti­ sche Gesamteindruck des Sitzes durch den installierten Seiten- Airbag nicht gestört wird, da dessen Austritt unter dem eine einheitliche Oberfläche bildenden Bezugsstoff versteckt ist. A common solution is to exit to be covered with the upholstery cover fabric (EP 0 751 047 A1), DE 195 38 657 A1, DE 196 36 660 A1). They are very special Seams are provided in the upholstery fabric, which when the side Tear open airbags so that they can inflate undisturbed. An advantage of this solution can be seen in the fact that the aesthetic overall impression of the seat through the installed side Airbag is not disturbed, because its outlet under one uniform surface-forming upholstery fabric is hidden.  

Ein gattungsgemässer Kraftfahrzeugsitz ist in DE 196 33 034 A1 offenbart. Bei einer Anordnung eines Bedienelementes für die Sitzverstellung und eines Seiten-Airbags auf der selben Seite einer Rückenlehne besteht nach Auslösen des Seiten-Airbags die Gefahr, dass aufgrund der starken Spannung des Bezuges auf der Wange der Rückenlehne das Bedienelement bricht oder ausgetrieben wird und dann unkontrollierbar in der Fahrgastzelle umherfliegt. Dieses Abbrechen oder Austreiben des Bedienelements ist insbe­ sondere dann zu befürchten, wenn es sich im wesentlichen paral­ lel zum Bezug erstreckt, der den Seiten-Airbag abdeckt.A generic motor vehicle seat is in DE 196 33 034 A1 disclosed. With an arrangement of a control element for the Seat adjustment and a side airbag on the same side a backrest exists after the side airbag has been deployed Danger that due to the strong tension of the cover on the Cheek of the backrest breaks the control element or expels it and then flies uncontrollably in the passenger compartment. This breaking off or expulsion of the control element is particularly serious especially to fear if it is essentially paral lel extends to the cover that covers the side airbag.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Kraftfahr­ zeugsitz gattungsgemässer Art so zu verbessern, dass ein Abbre­ chen oder Austreiben eines auf der Seite der Rückenlehne ange­ ordneten Bedienelements bei Auslösung des Seiten-Airbags mit Si­ cherheit vermieden wird.The object of the present invention is a motor vehicle to improve the generic type of seat so that an Abbre Chen or expelling one on the side of the backrest arranged control elements when the side airbag is deployed with Si security is avoided.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss bei einem gattungsge­ mässen Kraftfahrzeugsitz dadurch gelöst, dass der Bezug zwischen dem Airbag und dem Bedienelement geteilt ist. Durch diese einfa­ che Lösung wird mit Sicherheit ein Brechen oder auch Austreiben des Bedienelements vermieden. Beim Auslösen des Seiten-Airbags spannt aufgrund der Teilung des Bezuges nur der Bezug im Bereich des Seiten-Airbags. Daher wirkt keine Kraft auf das Bedienele­ ment.This object is according to the invention in a genus solved motor vehicle seat in that the relation between the airbag and the control element is divided. Through this simple The solution will surely be a break or an expulsion of the control element avoided. When the side airbag is deployed due to the division of the cover, only the cover in the area of the side airbag. Therefore, no force acts on the control ment.

Zur Kaschierung der Trennstelle im Bezug der Wange der Rü­ ckenlehne ist es von Vorteil, wenn sich die Bezugsteile überlap­ pen. For concealing the separation point in relation to the cheek of the back it is an advantage if the cover parts overlap pen.  

Zur Verbesserung der Optik der Trennstelle kann es auch zweckmässig sein, die beiden Bezugsteile im Überlappungsbereich durch leicht lösbare Verbindungsmittel, z. B. Klettverschlüsse miteinander zu verbinden.It can also improve the appearance of the separation point be expedient, the two reference parts in the overlap area by easily detachable connecting means, e.g. B. Velcro straps connect with each other.

Die Erfindung wird anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. In der dazugehörigen Zeichnung zeigt:The invention is illustrated by an embodiment explained. In the accompanying drawing:

Fig. 1 einen perspektivischen Blick auf eine sche­ matisch dargestellte Rückenlehne eines Kraftfahrzeugsitzes von schräg vorn, und Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a cal matically represented backrest of a motor vehicle seat from obliquely in front, and

Fig. 2 einen Schnitt A-A gemäss Fig. 1 in vergrös­ serter Darstellung. Fig. 2 shows a section AA of FIG. 1 in an enlarged representation.

Die Polsterung der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Rückenlehne 1 ist zumindest im Vorder- und Seitenbereich mit einem Bezug versehen. Auf der dem Betrachter zugewandten Seite der Rückenlehne 1 sind ein Seiten-Airbag 2 und ein Bedienhebel 3 z. B. für die Verstel­ lung einer Lordosenstütze, angeordnet. Der Seiten-Airbag 2 ist nach aussen durch den Bezug abgedeckt. Im Bereich des Seiten- Airbags 2 ist eine Reissnaht 4 vorgesehen, an der im Auslösefall ein Durchtrittsweg für den sich entfaltenden Luftsack des Sei­ ten-Airbags 2 geschaffen wird.The padding of the backrest 1 shown in Fig. 1 is provided, at least in the front and side areas with a reference. On the side of the backrest 1 facing the viewer, a side airbag 2 and an operating lever 3 are, for. B. for the adjustment of a lumbar support arranged. The side airbag 2 is covered on the outside by the cover. In the area of the side airbag 2 is a tear seam 4 is provided is provided on the case, a passageway in the trigger for the deploying air bag of the air bag Be ten-second

Der Bezug ist zwischen dem Seiten-Airbag 2 und dem Bedienhe­ bel 3 geteilt. An der Trennstelle 5 überlappt der den Seiten- Airbag 2 kaschierende Bezugsteil 6.1 den Bezugsteil 6.2, auf den der Bedienhebel 3 von aussen aufgesetzt ist. Diese Überlappung geht am besten aus der Darstellung gemäss Fig. 2 hervor. Um ei­ nen optisch einwandfreien Abschluss des von aussen sichtbaren Randes 7 des Bezugsteils 6.1 zu haben, ist der Rand 7 durch Um­ legen und Vernähen mit einer Naht 8 gebildet. Um die Optik noch weiter zu verbessern, können die beiden Bezugsteile 6.1 und 6.2 im Überlappungsbereich durch Klettverschlüsse 9 miteinander ver­ bunden sein, was in Fig. 2 mit Strichlinien angedeutet ist. Der Rand 10 des Bezugsteiles 6.2 ist überdeckt und kann daher einfa­ cher als der Rand 7 des Bezugsteiles 6.1 ausgeführt werden.The cover is divided between the side airbag 2 and the operating lever 3 . At the separation point 5 , the cover part 6.1 concealing the side airbag 2 overlaps the cover part 6.2 onto which the operating lever 3 is placed from the outside. This overlap is best seen in the illustration in FIG. 2. In order to have a visually perfect conclusion of the externally visible edge 7 of the reference part 6.1 , the edge 7 is formed by laying around and sewing with a seam 8 . In order to improve the look even further, the two reference parts 6.1 and 6.2 can be connected to one another in the overlap area by Velcro fasteners 9 , which is indicated in FIG. 2 by dashed lines. The edge 10 of the reference part 6.2 is covered and can therefore be made simpler than the edge 7 of the reference part 6.1 .

Aufgrund der oben beschriebenen Ausbildung des Bezuges im Seitenteil der Rückenlehne 1 werden auf den Bezugsteil 6.2 nach Auslösung des Seiten-Airbags 2 keinerlei Kräfte durch den sich dann stark spannenden Bezugsteil 6.1 ausgelöst.Due to the above-described design of the cover in the side part of the backrest 1 , no forces are triggered on the cover part 6.2 after the side airbag 2 has been triggered by the then very exciting cover part 6.1 .
