Abstract

The protective device consists of an inflatable cushion which is mounted at the side, on the inside, e.g. above a door of the car. A sensor which detects the impact initiates the inflation. The cushion consists of a double wall fabric strip (2) with a number of cross-strips (4). A gas generating string (3) zig-zags through the sections. ADVANTAGE - Short reaction time.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Seitenaufprallschutzsystem für Insassen eines Kraftfahrzeuges bestehend aus einem mit einem zwischen einem Insassen und einer Karosserieseite, bzw. einer Tür des Kraftfahrzeuges aufblasbaren Schutzkissen und einem Aufprallsensor, wobei das Schutzkissen als im Ruhestand zu­ sammengefaltete Schutzmatratze ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to a side impact protection system for Occupants of a motor vehicle consisting of one with a between an occupant and a body side, or one Door of the motor vehicle inflatable protective cushion and one Impact sensor, taking the protective cushion as retired too folded protective mattress is formed.

Gassack-Aufprallschutzsysteme für den Frontalaufprall sind in zahlreichen Ausführungen bekannt.Airbag impact protection systems for frontal impact are in numerous versions known.

Beispiele derartiger Aufprallschutzsysteme sind in den US-PS 49 66 388 u. 36 75 942 beschrieben worden. Während die Fahrzeuginsassen durch solche Systeme bei Frontalaufprall ausreichend geschützt sind, sind sie andererseits einem seitlichen Aufprall schutzlos ausgesetzt; schwere Verletzungen an Kopf und Körper können die Folge sein.Examples of such impact protection systems are in the US-PS 49 66 388 u. 36 75 942 has been described. While the vehicle occupants by such systems in the event of a frontal impact are protected, on the other hand they are a side impact exposed defenseless; serious head and body injuries can be the result.

Daher ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, den Fahrzeuginsassen auch bei einem Seitenaufprall ausreichenden Schutz für Kopf und Oberkörper zu gewähren. Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist im Anspruch 1 angegeben. Danach ist eine Schutzmatratze beispielsweise oberhalb der Fahrer- und Beifahrertür im seitlichen Dachrahmen so angeordnet, daß sie sich im aufgeblasenen Zustand zwischen Türe und B-Säule und Kopf sowie Oberkörper befindet. Diese Schutzmatratze wird durch ein Zweiwandgewebe mit Abstandsfäden gebildet und durch eine Gaserzeugerschnur aufgeblasen. Bei einer solchen aus der DE-OS 39 32 576 bekannten Gaserzeugerschnur wird das Gas unmittelbar an der benötigten Stelle erzeugt, d. h. zeitraubende Strömungsvorgänge entfallen. Das System weist daher die bei einem Seitenaufprall erforderliche kurze Reaktionszeit auf. Die Gaserzeugerschnur kann in beliebiger Weise, z. B. in Zick- Zack-Form, in der Mitte oder gänzlich auf einer Seite in der Schutzmatratze angeordnet sein. It is therefore the task of the present Invention, the vehicle occupant even in a side impact to provide adequate protection for the head and upper body. The This problem is solved in claim 1 specified. Then a protective mattress is placed above the driver's and passenger door arranged in the side roof frame so that they are inflated between the door and the B-pillar and Head and upper body. This protective mattress will formed by a two-wall fabric with spacer threads and inflated by a gas generator cord. With one from the DE-OS 39 32 576 known gas generator cord, the gas is immediate generated at the required location, d. H. time consuming Flow processes are eliminated. The system therefore assigns the a short reaction time required for a side impact. The gas generator cord can be used in any way, e.g. B. in zig-zag Zack shape, in the middle or entirely on one side in the Protective mattress can be arranged.  

Die Verwendung von derartigem Zweiwandgewebe für Aufprall­ schutzsysteme ist aus der DE-OS 39 03 216 bekannt.The use of such double wall fabric for impact protection systems is known from DE-OS 39 03 216.

In einer anderen Ausbildung der Erfindung besteht die Schutzmatratze aus miteinander verbundenen, bzw. durch Abnähen gebildeten, aufblasbaren Schlauchkammern, durch die die Gas­ erzeugerschnur gezogen ist. Diese Schnur kann ebenfalls in beliebiger Weise integriert sein.In another embodiment of the invention, the protective mattress is made from connected, or by sewing formed, inflatable tube chambers through which the gas cord is pulled. This cord can also be used be integrated in any way.

In beiden Ausführungsformen sind die Enden (der Schlauchkammern, bzw. des Zweiwandgewebes) in geeigneter Weise z. B. durch Naht, Vulkanisierung oder Klebung verschlossen.In both embodiments, the ends (of the hose chambers, or the two-wall fabric) in a suitable manner, for. B. closed by seam, vulcanization or adhesive.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden durch Ausführungsbeispiele anhand von Zeichnungen erläutert.The invention is illustrated below by means of exemplary embodiments explained by drawings.

Die Fig. 1 bis 4 zeigen Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung. Figs. 1 to 4 show embodiments of the invention.

In den Fig. 1 u. 2 sind am Dachrahmen eines Kraftfahrzeuges angeordnete Schutzmatratzen dargestellt, die sich beim Entfalten nach unten ausdehnen, und dabei Tür und B-Säule ab­ decken.U in FIGS. 1. 2 protective mattresses are shown on the roof frame of a motor vehicle, which expand downwards when unfolded, and cover the door and B-pillar.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine aus parallelen Schlauchkammern zusammengesetzte Schutzmatratze. Fig. 3 shows a protective mattress composed of parallel tube chambers.

Gemäß Fig. 4 wird die Schutzmatratze durch ein aufblasbares Zweiwandgewebe 2 mit einer Vielzahl von Abstandsfäden 4 gebildet. In die durch das Zweiwandgewebe gebildete Druckkammer 5 ist die Gaserzeugerschnur 3 integriert. Die Gaserzeugerschnur kann auch mit einem Hitze- u. Schalldämpfungsschutz umgeben sein und in Kordelform zum Verhindern von Knicken angewendet werden.According to Fig. 4, the protective mattress is formed by an inflatable double-walled fabric 2 having a plurality of spacer threads 4. The gas generator cord 3 is integrated into the pressure chamber 5 formed by the two-wall fabric. The gas generator cord can also with a heat and. Soundproofing protection should be surrounded and used in cord form to prevent kinks.

Durch die Anzündung mittels eines elektrischen Zünders 6 entsteht Druckgas, welches das Zweiwandgewebe aufbläst und die Matratze durch Entfaltung bildet. Das Zweiwandgewebe kann auf der dem Seitenfenster zugewandten Seite porös und dadurch gezielt zusammendrückbar sein. Auf diese Weise unterbleibt ein Zurückfedern des zu stützenden Kopfes.The ignition by means of an electrical igniter 6 produces compressed gas which inflates the two-wall fabric and forms the mattress by unfolding. The two-wall fabric can be porous on the side facing the side window and can therefore be compressed in a targeted manner. This prevents the head to be supported from springing back.
