Abstract

The innovation described above can be summarised as a modification of the AIRBAG fitted in motor vehicles of a relatively new design. The AIRBAG is known thanks to sufficiently well-known and widely advertised embodiments which come from the steering wheel. The inventor of this version is also aware of patent applications for this protective device. None of the devices or fittings, however, is able to dispense with installation in the car (the possible object of the accident) itself, which is very expensive. There is hereby disclosed a design of an AIRBAG which is autonomous and independent of any brand or design and which can be purchased by any motorist, who can then install it in his/her vehicle without specialist knowledge or tools. Famous names are not required here, nor are new vehicles, no, the user is able to insert the AIRBAG which he has purchased in a specialist shop in any vehicle of any design and any year. The safety acquired in this manner is absolutely the same as that known from advertising. The AIRBAG can optionally be filled in any manner ranging from use of pneumatic systems to PYROTECHNIC technology. Any filling which is necessary is based on excess tensile stress exerted on the safety belt. Actuation can be compared with a shot, and is carried out by means of a type of firing pin. This innovation means that the VOLKSAIRBAG [Peoples Airbag] is available for anyone. Its application should not be impeded by any existing patents, as it actually ... no ...

Description

Über einen herkömmlichen Anschnallgurt, wird in Brust oder Bauchbereich eine Tasche befestigt, welche aus Stoff besteht und vorzugsweise mit einem Klettverschluß geschlossen wird.With a conventional seat belt, it is placed in the chest or stomach area attached a bag, which is made of fabric and preferably with a Velcro fastener is closed.

Die Tasche enthält einen gefältelt zusammengelegten Luftsack, welcher beim Befüllen den Klettverschluß aufreißt und austritt.The bag contains a folded air bag, which when filling, the Velcro opens and exits.

Ein Airbag von normaler Größe hat so zusammengelegt etwa die Dicke von zwei normalen Ledergürteln. Der Airbag ist also in der Art eines Fallschirms gelegt und am unteren Ende als Schlauch ausgebildet, damit der Sack an eine Armatur angeschlossen werden kann.An airbag of normal size is about the thickness of two normal leather belts. So the airbag is like one Parachute placed and formed at the lower end as a hose, so the sack can be connected to a fitting.

Die Füllarmatur besteht aus zwei gegeneinander verschiebbaren Teilen, zwischen denen eine oder mehrere Füllflaschen so eingespannt werden können, daß sie sich bei übermäßigem Zug am Anschnallgurt, also dem Notfall öffnen und den Prallsack aufblasen.The filling valve consists of two slidable ones Parts between which one or more filling bottles are clamped can be that with excessive tension on the seat belt, so open in an emergency and inflate the impact bag.

Eine sinnvolle Einrichtung ermöglicht eine Justierung nach dem etwaigen Körpergewicht.A sensible facility enables adjustment after any body weight.

Die Auslösung erfolgt also bei einem Anprall, wobei sich der am Bauch-Brustbereich angebrachte Airbag nach unten und oben gleichzeitig ausdehnt, oben bis etwa vor die Nasenpartie oder höher.It is triggered in the event of an impact, with the Abdominal-chest area airbag attached down and up at the same time expands up to about the front of the nose or higher.

Eine solche autonome, also von keinem Fahrzeug abhängige Schutzeinrichtung läßt sich jederzeit und bei jedem Fahrzeug leicht nachrüsten.Such an autonomous, i.e. not dependent on any vehicle Protective device can be easily moved to any vehicle at any time retrofit.

Es wäre denkbar, in Omnibussen oder Flugzeugen eine derart einfache Lösung anzuwenden.It would be conceivable to have such a simple one in buses or planes Apply solution.

Die Nachrüstung besteht im Einklinken des jetzigen Anschnallgurtes an der Fülleinheit oben und dem Überklappen und Schließen des Klettverschlusses an der Tasche.The retrofit consists in latching in the current seat belt on the filling unit at the top and overlapping and closing the Velcro on the pocket.

Eine an der Fülleinheit fest angebrachte Klinke wird dann beim Anschnallen in das Gurtschloß gesteckt.A pawl firmly attached to the filling unit is then attached to the Buckle up in the buckle.

Ein weiterer Vorteil ist die dezentrale Anwendung. Kein Mitfahrer auf den Plätzen, keine Auslösung der restlichen Gurte.Another advantage is the decentralized application. No passenger on the squares, no release of the remaining belts.

Vorstellbar ist die Anwendung auch für Kindersitze oder Plätze für Haustiere im Spezialgurt.The application is also conceivable for child seats or places for Pets in a special belt.

Der wohl bedeutendste Vorteil bei der Anordnung am Körper ist wohl der, daß die Aufblasbewegung nicht gegen die zu schützende Person, sondern von dieser weg geschieht. Der Knall geht also nicht gegen die Brust und Gesichtspartie, sondern der schnell füllende Airbag schiebt sich vor die Partien, die geschützt werden sollen, den Anprallpartien entgegen.Probably the most significant advantage with the arrangement on the body is that the inflation movement is not against the person to be protected, but happens away from this. So the bang doesn't go against them Chest and face area, but the quick-filling airbag pushes the areas to be protected, the impact areas opposite.

Claims

1. Airbag on the seat belt, characterized by the direct attachment to the seat belt in the chest and (or in the) abdominal area.

2. Airbag on the seat belt, characterized by the assignment of an independent of the car Filling system with mechanical release.

3. Airbag on the seat belt, characterized by adjustability according to body weight by means of a rubber spring.

4. Airbag on the seat belt, characterized by the possibility of retrofitting of a vehicle that is already in operation.

5. Airbag on the seat belt, characterized by universal application over everyone Seat belt on all means of transport.

6. Airbag on the seat belt, characterized by the filling unit between two, itself when train sliding carriage, which the filling medium when pulling into the airbag release.

7. Airbag on the seat belt, characterized by restraint against premature release by means of a spring sleeve.

8. Airbag on the seat belt, characterized by the arrangement-related movement of the airbag away from the person to be protected, causing the effect of the bang is mitigated.
