Definitions

  • This invention relates to an air-bagged seat provided with a side air bag capable of effectively protecting a user when a vehicle is subjected to a lateral force of impact.
  • An air bag system that is mounted in a vehicle such as an automobile is designed so that an air bag is caused instantaneously to bulge by an inflator in case of a collision of the vehicle, whereby a user can be restrained from undergoing a second collision with some interior members.
  • the air bag system may be located in front of the user, that is, in a center pad of a steering wheel, or near a glove box in front of a passenger seat.
  • a side impact can be effectively tackled by a so-called side air bag that is incorporated in a seat back or the like.
  • an air bag module 4 is incorporated in a side portion 3 that, out of two opposite side portions of a seat back 2, is nearer to a door.
  • An inflator 5 of the air bag module 4 is actuated to generate gas in response to a signal that is delivered by a sensor when the vehicle is subjected to a side impact.
  • An air bag 6 can be inflated with this gas.
  • the seat back 2 includes a frame 7, pad 8, cover member 9, etc.
  • the cover member 9 is composed of a seat-back front cover element 9a, a side cover element 9b, etc.
  • sewing thread 11 in a sewing portion 10 between the seat-back front cover element 9a and the side cover element 9b is broken by pressure that acts thereon from inside the cover member 9.
  • the air bag 6 bulges ahead of the seat back 2 (in the direction indicated by arrow F) through the broken portion, as indicated by two-dot chain line A.
  • the air bag 6 unfolds into a shape such that it can protect the flank, temple, etc. of the user.
  • a lid 4a is provided on the front part of the air bag module 4.
  • the air bag 6 breaks the lid 4a as it unfolds, the unfolding direction of the air bag 6 is subject to variation in some cases. It is to be desired that the air bag 6 should unfolds toward the sewing portion 10. Possibly, however, the air bag 6 may fail to unfold toward the sewing portion 10 from various causes associated with variations in the structures of the lid 4a, inflator 5, etc. When the air bag 6 unfolds, moreover, the seat-back front cover element 9a and the side cover element 9b sometimes may behave so as to inflate as a whole. In this case, the unfolding force of the air bag 6 cannot easily act on the sewing portion 10, so that the seat-back front cover element 9a and the side cover element 9b themselves may possibly be broken.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an air-bagged seat designed so that an air bag can spread out from an expected portion to be broken as the air bag unfolds, thus ensuring proper unfolding performance.
  • an air-bagged seat comprising an air bag module in a seat back, in which a cover member for covering an air bag storage portion of the seat back is formed by sewing up at least a first cover element (e.g., seat-back front cover element) and a second cover element (e.g., side cover element).
  • the air bag module is stored in a belt- or bag-shaped module container having a pair of opposite side portions, right and left, and a rear end portion. Front end portions of the opposite side portions of the module container are sewn together with the first and second cover elements in a sewing portion between the cover elements.
  • the module container is formed of a material that is as flexible as cloth and is more resistant to tension (or has higher tensile strength) than the first and second cover elements.
  • an inflator When the air-bagged seat according to the present invention is subject to a force of impact, an inflator is actuated, whereupon gas is jetted out to inflate the air bag, and pressure acts from inside the cover member.
  • the unfolding force of the air bag acts on the module container in the initial stage of the unfolding action of the air bag. Since the material of the module container is stouter than the cover member (first and second cover elements), so that the module container itself cannot be broken.
  • the air bag is guided by the opposite side portions of the module container as it unfolds toward the front end portion of the module container or the sewing portion of the cover member, whereby sewing thread or the like in the sewing portion is broken. Accordingly, the air bag unfolds steadily in a regular direction, so that the shock of a second collision between a user and interior members can be eased.
  • the air bag stated herein is a member that can be inflated like a bag with gas, such as nitrogen gas. It is to be understood that the gas to be used for inflation is not limited to nitrogen or air.
  • the unfolding direction of the air bag can be regulated by means of the module container when the air bag unfolds, so that the air bag can be unfolded toward a predetermined expected portion to be broken.
  • the air bag can enjoy a stable unfolding direction and display proper unfolding performance.
  • This module container is a belt- or bag-shaped structure of a flexible pliable material that is sewn together with conventional cover elements in the same spot as the sewing portion of a conventional cover member. Although the module container is sewn to the sewing portion, therefore, the sewing portion cannot be externally conspicuous and never exerts a bad influence upon the external appearance of the seat back.
  • the module container has holes through which bolts for fixing the air bag module to a seat back frame are passed individually. It is advisable to fix the air bag module and the module container to the seat back frame with the bolts in the holes.
  • the module mounting bolts are passed individually through the holes in the module container, so that the holes and the bolts can be utilized as positioning means for the module container. Accordingly, there is no possibility of either of the opposite side portions of the module container undergoing deviation, such as strain or skew, after sewing operation. Since the module container is laterally balanced as it is located on either side of the air bag module, the unfolding direction of the air bag can be made steadier.
  • the module container according to this invention should have a shape such that a bottom portion and the rear end portion between the opposite side portions are closed, and that the top portion and the front end portions of the opposite side portions can be opened when the air bag unfolds.
  • the front end portions and the top portion of the module container are opened when the air bag unfolds, so that the air bag can be unfolded forward and upward with respect to the seat back.
  • Each of the front end portions of the module container may be provided with a seam length adjusting portion for adjusting the seam length of the module container sewn to the cover member. According to this invention, the seam length of the sewing portion at the front end portions of the module container is reduced, so that the sewing portion of the module container can be made easily breakable when the air bag unfolds. Accordingly, the unfolding action of the air bag in a predetermined position can be made steadier.

  • An example of artificial leather is obtained by coating the outer surface of knitted fabric for use as a back fabric base with an elastic material such as an elastomer layer.
  • the cover member 25, which covers the side portion 22a that functions as an air bag storage portion includes a seat-back front cover element 25a for use as a first cover element according to this invention and a side cover element 25b as a second cover element.
