[発明の属する技術分野]
本発明は、ごく新たにも、新旧及び大型小型を問わず、既定の全車種を対象としたエアバッグの技術分野に属する。
【0002】
[従来の技術]
従前より、カーテンエアバッグ、サイドエアバッグ等々、実に、様々なエアバッグ装置が考案されてきたが、それらは、概ね、人身防護用のみの(小型の)ものに限られる。
[発明が解決しようとする課題]
本に、これまで、不慮の衝突(追突)事故等に於ける車両の破損などの(物的)損害は、運転者等の意に反し、どうしても避けられぬものだった・・・。
【0003】
まして、仮にも車体倒壊寸前の(人身)事故が起きてしまった場合、従来通りのエアバッグを装備していても、貴き人体(人命)に及ぼす衝撃(ショック)の程は、当の本人以外、計り知れるものではなかった・・・・。
【0004】
[課題を解決する為の手段]
先の懸念事項を回避(もしくは軽減)するには、随時、予期すべき車両等の間に、ちょうど、衝撃の程を吸収する(特性スポンジ類のような働きをした軟質の)遮断壁のようなものをいみじくも挿入してやればよく、以て、ぜがひでもそれを実現させるには、概ね、車体の前面(且つ後画及び側面など)から、(衝突直前に)激突の重圧にも難なく耐え得る強力な特殊エアバッグを前方の対向車等へ向けて、車の(内側でなく)外側へ、手際よく放出してやればよい。
【0005】
[発明の実施の形態]
先ず、既存(周知)通りの運転席や助手席などの傍らでなく、車体のフロント内(及び後面、左右の側面)の一角の余白部分に、より頑強なエアバッグ装置を取り付け、順次、(咄嗟の判断で、急ブレーキをかけても間に合いそうにない時)機械式にて、それを始動させる場合、主に、手動(運転席側等のスイッチボタン(一つ)で即、車体前部(又は、後部及び両サイド等)の所定(任意)の位置(一カ所或いは数カ所;車体の最前部の下方の中央部やその両脇等の一角など)に据えたバッグの開口部を開かせながら、別途、搭載したインフレーター(ガス発生装置)上の特殊ガスなどを放出して、(衝撃の反動で、車ごと、後方にバウンドしない程度の)より適切な空気圧でバッグ(袋)を膨らませ、随時、何ら支障(遅滞)なく対処していく。
【0006】
又、自動(電気)式の場合には、概ね、(衝突直後の衝撃を感知する既存のセンサーでなく)新規に開発した人工知能型感知センサーで、超音波等の発信により、前方(或いは後方や側方)の障害物をいち早く感知し、順次、(同センサー内等にはめ込んだAI型ICチップを用いることにより)車本体の速度と(走行中の)対向車などとの距離を素早く測りながら、瞬時に、衝突時までの危険度(エアバッグの作動時期)を計算しつつ、衝突寸前に、自動でエアバッグ機器を起動させながら、彼の衝突を回避すればよい。
【0007】
尚、さほど、緊急時に、即、開口且つ膨張させたエアバッグ(袋)の使用後は、(2〜3次的災難に備え、何回となく使えるよう)その場で直ぐ、(自動式にて)差し障りなくコンパクトに仕舞えるようにする。
【0008】
*エアバッグ(袋)の概要は、普段、独特の折り畳み式又は〈自動〉巻き式等にて、(最小で)コンパクトに収納しておき、緊急の開口時には、(最大で)障害物を充分に食い止められる程の大きさのものにする。
又、不測の激突時には、脆くも容易く破れぬよう、(コーテイングカバーをかけた)外皮を二重巻き等にしてより丈夫にし、別して、特殊〈合成〉素材を用いた尚丈夫な布皮袋などを使用する。
【0009】
*さしたる衝撃の程を吸収するスポンジ機能が増すよう、エアバッグに、ある種の柔軟さを持たせる為、別途(別状)、袋中に、適量の特殊液体(粘液)などを注入してもよい。
【0010】
*主に、手動でエアバッグ装置を稼動させる場合、運転席脇等に取り付けた〈緊急用〉スイッチボタンは、普段、無闇に触れぬよう、透明ガラスや薄型プラスチック等でカバー(遮蔽)しておく。
【0011】
*車体の前面(の底辺部)などに据え置くエアバッグの開口部は、殊更、車の外観を損ねぬよう、普段は見えないように(隠れるように)栓をしておく。
【0012】
[発明の効果]
本発明の形態を(既製品との併用)実施することにより、従来のシートベルトの補助的拘束装置としての機能に加え、運転者や搭乗者らの人命は勿論、車両の破損をも阻止する(究極の)2段式安全装置として働き、更に、この発明の概念(理論)を他の乗物(〈小型〉飛行機類等)に応用した場合、とりわけ、予期せぬ不時着時には、不慮の緊急用として、本エアバッグ(特殊な形状をした大袋)を機体上部に取り付けた特殊パラシュートなどとともに使用すれば、ごく稀にも、機体の損壊を防ぐ物損防止装置等として採用することができ、まさに、これこそ、許多ある機種や車種別等に標準装備すべき有用(必需)品であると言えよう。

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]
The present invention belongs to the technical field of airbags for all predetermined vehicle models regardless of whether they are new or old or large and small.
[0002]
[Conventional technology]
In the past, various airbag devices have been devised, such as curtain airbags and side airbags, but these are generally limited to those for personal protection only (small size).
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Heretofore, up to now, (physical) damage such as vehicle damage in an accidental collision (back-end collision) has been unavoidable against the driver's will.
[0003]
Even more, if a (body) accident just before the vehicle collapses, even if you are equipped with a conventional airbag, the impact (shock) on your precious body (human life) will not be the same as that of the person in question. It was not measurable ...
[0004]
[Means for solving the problem]
To avoid (or mitigate) the above concerns from time to time, just as between anticipated vehicles and the like, just like a shock-absorbing (soft) barrier that acts like a characteristic sponge. It is only necessary to insert something as appropriate as possible, and in order to achieve this, even with the gigastring, it is generally easy to withstand the pressure of a collision (just before the collision) from the front of the body (and the rear view and the side). The powerful special airbag to be obtained may be directed toward an oncoming vehicle or the like in front of the vehicle, and may be expelled to the outside of the vehicle (not inside).
[0005]
[Embodiment of the invention]
First, a more robust airbag device is installed in the front (and rear, left and right side) corners of the vehicle body, instead of the driver's seat or passenger seat as the existing (known) seat. When it is not possible to make a quick brake, it is likely to be in time.) When starting it mechanically, mainly manually (switch button (1) on the driver's seat, etc.) Open the opening of the bag installed at a predetermined (arbitrary) position (or one or several places, such as the rear and both sides); Meanwhile, the special gas on the mounted inflator (gas generator) is released separately, and the bag (bag) is inflated with more appropriate air pressure (to the extent that it does not bounce backwards with the car due to the impact reaction) At any time, without any trouble (delay) Go.
[0006]
In the case of the automatic (electric) type, it is generally a newly-developed artificial intelligence type sensor (not an existing sensor that detects the impact immediately after a collision). And sideways) and quickly measure the speed of the car body (by using an AI-type IC chip embedded in the sensor, etc.) and the distance to the oncoming car (while running). However, it is only necessary to calculate the degree of danger up to the time of the collision (the operation timing of the airbag) instantaneously and avoid the collision while automatically activating the airbag device just before the collision.
[0007]
In addition, immediately after the use of the airbag (bag) immediately opened and inflated in an emergency (so that it can be used several times in preparation for a second or third disaster), immediately (in an automatic manner) T) Try to be compact without trouble.
[0008]
* The outline of the airbag (bag) is usually stored in a compact (minimum) compact or unique <automatic> winding type, and in an emergency opening (maximum) enough obstacles The size should be large enough to be stopped.
Also, in case of an unexpected collision, the outer cover (with a coating cover) is double-wrapped to make it more durable so that it is fragile but does not break easily. Use
[0009]
* In order to increase the sponge function that absorbs a slight impact, the airbag has a certain degree of flexibility, so that it can be injected separately (separately) or into the bag with an appropriate amount of special liquid (mucus). Good.
[0010]
* Mainly when operating the airbag device manually, the <emergency> switch button attached to the side of the driver's seat should be covered (shielded) with transparent glass, thin plastic, etc., so as not to touch it normally. deep.
[0011]
* The opening of the airbag to be installed at the front (bottom) of the vehicle body should be plugged so that it is not normally visible (hidden), especially so as not to damage the appearance of the car.
[0012]
[The invention's effect]
By implementing the embodiment of the present invention (used in combination with an off-the-shelf product), in addition to the conventional function as an auxiliary restraint device for a seat belt, not only the lives of drivers and passengers but also the damage to the vehicle are prevented. Acts as an (ultimate) two-stage safety device, and when the concept (theory) of the present invention is applied to other vehicles (such as <small> airplanes), especially in case of unexpected emergency landing, an emergency emergency By using this airbag (large bag with a special shape) together with a special parachute attached to the upper part of the fuselage, it can be rarely used as a device to prevent damage to the fuselage. It can be said that this is a useful (necessary) product that should be equipped as standard on many models and vehicle types.
