Description

Sicherheitsvorrichtung Die Erfindung betrifft eine Sicherheitsvorrichtung zum Schutze von Insassen in Fahrzeugen bei einer unfallgemäßen Fahrzeugverzögerung mit schwenkbaren Stützelementen. Safety device The invention relates to a safety device to protect occupants in vehicles in the event of vehicle deceleration due to an accident with swiveling support elements.

Aus der Erkenntnis, daß Sicherheitsgurte allein auch noch nicht jede Möglichkeit des Schutzes von Insassen in Kraftfahrzeugen ausschöpfen oder aber auch aus der Überlegung heraus, daß Sicherheitsgurte vielfach als lästig empfunden werden, wurden die verschiedenen Stützvorrichtungen in Fahrzeugen entwickelt. Es seien dabei nur die Patentschriften 1 148 893 unal 282 495 erwähnt. Diese Stützelemente sind aber alle mit mehr oder weniger großen Nachteilen behaftet und in ihrer Wirkung recht unbefriedigend. Einmal sind diese StUtzelemente sehr schwer an die unterschiedlichen Größen der Insassen anzupassen, zum anderen müssen sie teilweise von Hand angelegt werden, was wiederum die große Gefahr einer Nichtbenutzung in sich birgt. Aber gerade die ungenaue Paßform widerspricht der Forderung der Sicherheitsforschung, daß der Insasse möglichst sofort beiCraßh-Beginn fest mit dem Fahrzeugsitz, der hierbei besonders kräftig ausgelegt ist, verbunden ist, um keinerlei Eigenbewegungen auszuführen. Nur dadurch ist es möglich, den geringen zur Verfügung stehenden Raum voll zur Energieabsorption zu nutzen.From the knowledge that seat belts alone are not enough Make full use of the possibility of protecting occupants in motor vehicles or else from the consideration that seat belts are often perceived as a nuisance, the various support devices in vehicles were developed. Be there only the patents 1 148 893 and 282 495 mentioned. These support elements are but all of them have more or less major disadvantages and their effects quite unsatisfactory. On the one hand, these support elements are very difficult to attach to the different ones To adjust the sizes of the occupants, on the other hand they have to be partly created by hand which in turn harbors the great risk of non-use. But right now the imprecise fit contradicts the requirement of security research that the Occupant as soon as possible at the start of Crash firmly with the vehicle seat particularly powerfully designed, is connected to no proper movements to execute. Only in this way is it possible to use the small amount of space available to be used fully for energy absorption.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß für das Stützelement eine bei Beginn der Fahrzeugverzögerung durch einen Sensor zu aktivierende Anlegevorrichtung, die das Stützelement noch vor der crash-bedingten Eigenbewegung des Insassen an dessen Körper zur Anlage bringt, vorgesehen ist. Das Stützelement ist hierbei versenkt in Karosserie und/oder Ausstattungsteile, damit eine Einheit bildend, eingebaut. Die Anlegevorrichtung besteht aus einer druckmittelbetätigten Kolben-Zylindereinheit. Als Druckmittel ist zweckmäßigerweise eine pyrotechnische, über einen Sensor gezündete Treibladung vorgesehen. In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Zylinder mit zumindest einer Auslaßöffnung versehen und in seinem Durchmesser im Endbereich konisch verjüngt.This is achieved according to the invention in that for the support element a mooring device to be activated by a sensor at the beginning of the vehicle deceleration, which the support element on before the crash-related movement of the occupant whose body comes to rest, is provided. The support element is sunk here built into the body and / or equipment parts, thus forming a unit. The application device consists of a pressure medium-operated piston-cylinder unit. A pyrotechnic pressure medium, ignited by a sensor, is expediently used as the pressure medium Propellant charge provided. In a further embodiment of the invention, the cylinder provided with at least one outlet opening and in its diameter in the end area conically tapered.

Einige Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden im folgenden anhand von Zeichnungen näher erläutert.Some exemplary embodiments of the invention are based on the following explained in more detail by drawings.

Figur 1 zeigt die Anordnung eines Stützelements zum Kopfschutz des Insassen, Figur 2 zeigt eine Anlegevorrichtung im Schnitt und Figur 3 zeigt weitere Möglichkeiten der Anordnung von Stützelementen.Figure 1 shows the arrangement of a support element for head protection of the Occupant, FIG. 2 shows a fitting device in section and FIG. 3 shows more Possibilities for the arrangement of support elements.

In einer Rückenlehne 1 eines Fahrzeugsitzes 2 ist ein Stützelement 3 um eine Achse 4 schwenkbar gelagert. Bei Beginn einer Geschwindigkeitsänderung des Fahrzeuges, also zum Beispiel beim Anfahren des betreffenden Fahrzeuges von hinten, bringt eine Anlegevorrichtung 5,die mit dem Auge 6 in der Rückenlehne 1 und mit einem anderen Auge 7 an dem Stützelement 3 gelagert ist, das Stützelement in die gestrichelt gezeichnete Position 8>und legt sic damit an den Sopf 9 des Insassen 10 an. Um diesen Anlegevorgang durchzufüiren, wird eine Treibladung 11 am Grund 12 des Zvlinders 13 gezündet und treibt den Kolben 14, der über eine Kolbenstange 15 mit dem anderen Auge 7 verbunden ist, in Pfeilrichtung 16 voran und legt damit das Stützelement an. Nach einer geringen Bewegung des Kolbens 14 überstreicht er eine Auslaßöffnung 17, so daß die Beschleunigung des Stützelementes aufhört und es sich mit annähernd konstanter Geschifindigkeit dem Kopf nähert.In a backrest 1 of a vehicle seat 2 is a support element 3 mounted pivotably about an axis 4. At the start of a speed change of the vehicle, for example when the vehicle in question starts off from rear, brings a berthing device 5, the with the eye 6 in the Backrest 1 and is mounted with another eye 7 on the support element 3, the Support element in position 8> shown in dashed lines and put it in place with it the head 9 of the occupant 10. To carry out this creation process, a Propellant charge 11 ignited at the base 12 of the cylinder 13 and drives the piston 14, the is connected to the other eye 7 via a piston rod 15, in the direction of the arrow 16 ahead and thus applies the support element. After a slight movement of the piston 14 he passes over an outlet opening 17, so that the acceleration of the support element stops and it approaches the head with almost constant speed.

Kurz vor Erreichen des oberen Totpunktes, der der gewahlten Position des Stützelementes entspricht, läuft der Kolben 14 in eine konische Verengung 18 des Zylinders 13 und setzt sich dabei so fest, daß er anschließend eine Belastung des Stützelementes durch den Kopf übertragen kann. Die Position des Stützelementes wird dabei so gewählt, daß für 50 % der Insassen ein kleiner Abstand zwischen Kopf und Rückenlehne bleibt, für die anderen 50 % der Insassen der Kopf aber geringfügig nach vorne beschleunigt wird. Das Material des Stützelementes selbst ist dabei so nachgiebig, daß Verletzungen durch das Anlegen ausgeschlossen werden. I)as Ausführungsbeispiel ist nicht an diese Art der Betätigung des Stützelementes gebunden. Beispielsweise kann das Festhalteit~tes Stützelementes in der angelegten Position durch einen Freilauf erfolgen, der direkt auf die Kolbenstange 15 wirkt und auf den Zylinder 13 aufgebaut ist.Shortly before reaching the top dead center, the selected position of the support element, the piston 14 runs into a conical constriction 18 of the cylinder 13 and is set so firmly that he then a load of the support element can be transmitted through the head. The position of the support element is chosen so that 50% of the occupants have a small distance between their heads and backrest remains, but for the other 50% of the occupants the head remains slightly is accelerated forward. The material of the support element itself is like this yielding that injuries from the application are excluded. I) as the embodiment is not tied to this type of actuation of the support element. For example can hold the support element in the applied position by means of a freewheel which acts directly on the piston rod 15 and is built on the cylinder 13 is.

Die Anlegevorrichtung kann auch mit anderen Rückhalteelementen gekoppelt sein. Beispielsweise kann das Anlegen von der Auslösungseinrichtung für einen Air-Bag oder einer Gurtanlegeeinrichtung eingeleitet werden.The application device can also be coupled to other retaining elements be. For example, the application of the triggering device for an air bag or a belt application device can be initiated.

Die Zündung der Treibladung kann ebenfalls über die für die vorab erwähnten Einrichtungen benötigten Sensoren erfolgen.The ignition of the propellant charge can also be carried out for the advance Mentioned facilities required sensors take place.

Figur 3 zeigt ein Stützelement 19, das im Drehpunkt 20 an einer Tür 21 gelagert ist und ebenfalls durch eine Anlegevorrichtung 5 an den Oberkörper 22 des Insassen angelegt wird. Ein weiteres Stütz element 23 ist drehbar im Dach 24 des Kraftfahrzeuges gelagert und fängt den Kopf des Insassen seitlich ab.Figure 3 shows a support element 19, which is at the pivot point 20 on a door 21 is mounted and also by an application device 5 on the upper body 22 of the occupant is applied. Another support element 23 is rotatable in the roof 24 of the motor vehicle stored and catches the head of the occupant from the side.

In ähnlicher Weise können auch Körperstützelemente zwischen den Insassen angeordnet sein, die entsprechenderweise wirken. Die Drehachse der Stützelemente kann dabei zweckmäßigerweise schräg im Raum liegen, um die Körperstützelemente gleichzeitig zwischen die Insassen und an deren Körper zu führen.In a similar way, body supports can also be placed between the occupants be arranged, which act accordingly. The axis of rotation of the support elements can expediently lie obliquely in the room around the body support elements at the same time between the occupants and on their bodies.

Der große Vorteil dieser erfindungsgemäßen Sicherheitsvorrichtung ist also der, daß für stoßartige Geschwindigkeitsänderungen, wie sie typisch für Fahrzeugunfälle sind, der köper der Insassen vom Verzögerungsbeginn des Fahrzeuges an an dieser teilnimmt. Diese S-ützelemente müssen nicht dauerniam Körper anliegen, so aß gegenüber dem Stande der Technik ein großer For tritt hinsichtlich des Komfort der Benutzung gegen ist. Die Vorrichtung ist für verschieden große Insa n gleichermaßen wirkungsvoll.The great advantage of this safety device according to the invention is therefore that for sudden changes in speed, as they are typical for Vehicle accidents are the body of the occupants from the start of the vehicle's deceleration to take part in this. These support elements do not have to be in constant contact with the body, so a great advantage over the prior art was in terms of comfort is against use. The device is equally suitable for people of different sizes effective.
