次に、このエアバッグ装置2の組み立て工程及び車体3への取付工程を説明する。   Next, the assembly process of this airbag apparatus 2 and the attachment process to the vehicle body 3 are demonstrated.

まず、エアバッグ1は、平面状に広げた状態から、エアバッグ本体部31を所定の細長い形状に折り畳むとともに、後端部31bのガス導入口にインフレータ25の本体部25aから延びる接続管25bを接続する。そして、インナーカバー41で挟み込むように内包して前端側に第1のピラーガーニッシュ21を取り付け、インナーカバー41で挟み込むように内包して後端側に第3のピラーガーニッシュ23を取り付けて、折り畳み形状を保持し、エアバッグ1に各ピラーガーニッシュ21,23などを取り付けたエアバッグ装置2を構成する。なお、エアバッグ本体部31の折畳方法は、種々の方法を採ることができるが、例えば、図3に示すように、下側部をロール状に折り畳んで集積部31dを形成するとともに、上側部はこの集積部31dを両側から包むパラソル状の案内部31eとして折り畳むことができる。また、この状態では、各ピラーガーニッシュ21,23のガーニッシュ本体43は、インナーカバー41に対して固定されておらず、連結片部42が伸びた状態で、ガーニッシュ本体43が自在に移動可能となっている。   First, the airbag 1 folds the airbag main body 31 into a predetermined elongated shape from a state in which the airbag 1 is spread in a flat shape, and a connecting pipe 25b extending from the main body 25a of the inflator 25 is formed at the gas inlet of the rear end 31b. Connecting. Then, it is enclosed so as to be sandwiched by the inner cover 41, and the first pillar garnish 21 is attached to the front end side. , And the airbag apparatus 2 in which the pillar garnishes 21 and 23 are attached to the airbag 1 is configured. The airbag body 31 can be folded in various ways. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the lower portion is folded into a roll shape to form the stacking portion 31d, and the upper portion The part can be folded as a parasol-shaped guide part 31e that wraps the collecting part 31d from both sides. Further, in this state, the garnish main body 43 of each pillar garnish 21, 23 is not fixed to the inner cover 41, and the garnish main body 43 can be freely moved in a state where the connecting piece portion 42 is extended. ing.

そして、このエアバッグ装置2を車室4内に持ち込み、ヘッドライニング17が取り付けられる前に車体3への取付作業を行う。   Then, the airbag device 2 is brought into the passenger compartment 4 and is attached to the vehicle body 3 before the headlining 17 is attached.

この取付作業としては、まず、エアバッグ1の複数の取付片部32、セール固定点31c、各ピラーガーニッシュ21,23のインナーカバー取付部44、インフレータ25及び接続管25bのインフレータ側取付部25cを、それぞれ1カ所ずつリベットあるいはボルトなどの固定具で固定する。この作業は、任意の位置から1カ所ずつ行うことができ、また、図5及び図8に示すように、各ピラーガーニッシュ21,23が下方に移動してぶら下がった状態となっており、図8に矢印Cで示す位置のように、全ての取付片部32、インナーカバー取付部44、及びインフレータ側取付部25cが露出して作業に十分な空間が確保されるため、取り付け作業が1人の作業者により容易に行われる。また、インフレータ25から導出されたハーネス25dを車体3に備えた制御装置に接続する。   As the mounting work, first, the plurality of mounting pieces 32 of the airbag 1, the sail fixing point 31c, the inner cover mounting portion 44 of each pillar garnish 21, 23, the inflator 25 and the inflator side mounting portion 25c of the connecting pipe 25b are used. , And fix each with one fixture such as rivets or bolts. This operation can be performed one by one from an arbitrary position, and as shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, the pillar garnishes 21 and 23 are moved downward and are suspended. As shown by the arrow C, all the mounting pieces 32, the inner cover mounting portion 44, and the inflator side mounting portion 25c are exposed to secure a sufficient space for the work. It is easily done by the operator. Further, the harness 25d led out from the inflator 25 is connected to a control device provided in the vehicle body 3.

次いで、車体3の天井パネル16にヘッドライニング17を取り付ける。この状態で、このヘッドライニング17の変形可能な縁部により、エアバッグ1の長手方向の中央部分、すなわち、各ピラーガーニッシュ21,23で覆われない部分が覆われる。   Next, a headlining 17 is attached to the ceiling panel 16 of the vehicle body 3. In this state, the deformable edge of the headlining 17 covers the central portion of the airbag 1 in the longitudinal direction, that is, the portion not covered by the pillar garnishes 21 and 23.

次いで、ヒンジ部42bを曲げるようにして、各ピラーガーニッシュ21,23のガーニッシュ本体43を持ち上げ、各ピラー11,13を覆う所定位置に押しつける。すると、図3に示すように、ガーニッシュ本体43の上側の接続具46が接続具受部15aに挿入されて抜け止めした状態で固定されるとともに、図4に示すように、ガーニッシュ本体43の下側の係止部43cが係止部受部15bに離脱可能に係止される。   Next, the garnish bodies 43 of the pillar garnishes 21 and 23 are lifted and bent against the predetermined positions covering the pillars 11 and 13 so as to bend the hinge part 42b. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the connection tool 46 on the upper side of the garnish main body 43 is fixed in a state where it is inserted into the connection tool receiving portion 15a and is prevented from being detached, and as shown in FIG. The side locking portion 43c is detachably locked to the locking portion receiving portion 15b.

この状態で、第1のピラーガーニッシュ21及び第3のピラーガーニッシュ23を含むエアバッグ装置2の車体への取付作業が完了する。   In this state, the operation of attaching the airbag device 2 including the first pillar garnish 21 and the third pillar garnish 23 to the vehicle body is completed.

次に、エアバッグ1の展開動作を説明する。   Next, the deployment operation of the airbag 1 will be described.

車体3の側面衝突などの際には、制御装置によりインフレータ25が作動し、このインフレータ25から噴射されるガスがガス導入口からエアバッグ本体部31内に導入される。すると、エアバッグ本体部31は、先端部31aから後端部31bまで展開し、この展開の圧力により、インナーカバー係止部41bの係合が外れてインナーカバー41の下部が開くとともに、係止部43cと係止部受部15bとの係合が外れてガーニッシュ本体43と窓部8すなわち所定面10との間が開かれる。この状態で、エアバッグ1は、さらにヘッドライニング17などを変形させながら、ルーフサイド部5から下方に迅速に展開する。そして、このエアバッグ1は、窓部8などに沿って下方に膨張展開し、すなわち、カーテン状に前後のドア9の開口である窓部8やピラー11,12,13を覆い、前席及び後席の各乗員の頭部、胸部などを保護するように展開する。   In the case of a side collision of the vehicle body 3, the inflator 25 is operated by the control device, and the gas injected from the inflator 25 is introduced into the airbag main body 31 from the gas introduction port. Then, the airbag main body 31 is deployed from the front end 31a to the rear end 31b. Due to the pressure of this deployment, the engagement of the inner cover locking portion 41b is released and the lower portion of the inner cover 41 is opened, and the locking is performed. The engagement between the portion 43c and the locking portion receiving portion 15b is released, and the garnish body 43 and the window portion 8, that is, the predetermined surface 10 are opened. In this state, the airbag 1 is rapidly deployed downward from the roof side portion 5 while further deforming the headlining 17 and the like. The airbag 1 is inflated and deployed downward along the window 8 or the like, that is, covers the window 8 and the pillars 11, 12, and 13 that are openings of the front and rear doors 9 in a curtain shape, Deploy to protect the head and chest of each passenger in the rear seat.

このように、本実施の形態によれば、車両の車室4側のドア9の開口周辺である窓部8の上側部に沿って折り畳んで配置され、インフレータ25及びこのインフレータ25から発生されるガスにより膨張展開するエアバッグ1を備えるいわゆるカーテンエアバッグ装置について、エアバッグ1の少なくとも一端側、本実施の形態では両端側にガーニッシュ部材である第1及び第3のピラーガーニッシュ21,23を一体的に設けたため、部品点数を削減し、車両の組み立て作業を容易にすることができる。そして、各ピラーガーニッシュ21,23は、エアバッグ1の全長を覆うように設けるのではなく、一部すなわち端部のみを覆うように設けたため、多くの位置を同時に支えて保持などする必要がなく、このエアバッグ装置2を1人の作業者でも容易に取付作業ができ、取り付け作業の作業性を向上することができる。また、ヘッドライニング17によりエアバッグ1を覆う一般的な構成に対応することが可能であり、汎用性を向上して製造コストを低減できる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, the inflator 25 and the inflator 25 are generated by being folded along the upper side of the window 8 that is the periphery of the opening of the door 9 on the vehicle compartment 4 side of the vehicle. In a so-called curtain airbag device provided with an airbag 1 that is inflated and deployed by gas, first and third pillar garnishes 21 and 23 that are garnish members are integrated on at least one end side of the airbag 1, in this embodiment, on both end sides. Therefore, the number of parts can be reduced and the vehicle assembly operation can be facilitated. The pillar garnishes 21 and 23 are not provided so as to cover the entire length of the airbag 1, but are provided so as to cover only a part, that is, only the end portion, so that it is not necessary to support and hold many positions at the same time. The air bag device 2 can be easily attached even by one operator, and the workability of the attaching operation can be improved. Further, it is possible to cope with a general configuration in which the airbag 1 is covered with the headlining 17, and the versatility can be improved and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

また、第1及び第3のピラーガーニッシュ21,23は、インナーカバー41とガーニッシュ本体43とを変形可能な連結片部42で連結する構成としている。そこで、エアバッグ装置2の車体3への取付作業の際は、ガーニッシュ本体43を下方に移動させて取付作業を行う位置を露出させ、作業性を向上できるとともに、この取付作業が完了した後は、ガーニッシュ本体43を移動させて所定位置に押しつけて係止するのみで、ガーニッシュ本体43を所定位置に容易に固定でき、組み立て作業に要する時間を削減し、作業性を向上できる。   The first and third pillar garnishes 21 and 23 are configured to connect the inner cover 41 and the garnish main body 43 with a deformable connecting piece 42. Therefore, when the air bag device 2 is attached to the vehicle body 3, the garnish body 43 is moved downward to expose the position where the attachment work is performed, so that workability can be improved. The garnish main body 43 can be easily fixed at the predetermined position only by moving the garnish main body 43 and pressing it into a predetermined position, thereby reducing the time required for the assembly work and improving the workability.

さらに、連結片部42は、ヒンジ部42bを設けた板状に形成しているため、ガーニッシュ本体43を移動させる際は、所定方向に沿って屈曲するヒンジ部42bが案内となって、ガーニッシュ本体43を所定位置に容易に移動して取り付けできる。   Further, since the connecting piece portion 42 is formed in a plate shape provided with the hinge portion 42b, when the garnish main body 43 is moved, the hinge portion 42b bent along a predetermined direction serves as a guide, and the garnish main body 43 43 can be easily moved to the specified position.

また、インナーカバー41により、エアバッグ1の折り畳み形状を保持できるため、従来エアバッグ1の折り畳み形状を保持するために用いているスリーブなどの部材を廃止もしくは削減することができる。   Further, since the folded shape of the airbag 1 can be held by the inner cover 41, members such as a sleeve conventionally used for holding the folded shape of the airbag 1 can be eliminated or reduced.

また、エアバッグ1は、展開時には、インナーカバー41及びガーニッシュ本体43により案内され、展開強度の確保を安定化できる。   Further, the airbag 1 is guided by the inner cover 41 and the garnish main body 43 when deployed, and the securing of the deployment strength can be stabilized.

なお、上記の実施の形態では、被取付部は、自動車の車体3の車体パネル15としたが、この構成に限られず、適切な剛性を有し、ボルトなどの固定具を用いてエアバッグ装置2が取り付けられる部材であれば良い。   In the above-described embodiment, the attached portion is the vehicle body panel 15 of the vehicle body 3 of the automobile. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the airbag device has appropriate rigidity and uses a fixture such as a bolt. Any member to which 2 is attached may be used.

また、エアバッグ1は、前席保護部と後席保護部とを連通部で接続するとともに、後端部にガス導入口を設ける構成に限られず、種々の形態をとることができる。例えば、エアバッグ本体部の中央上部に位置して膨張部を外部に連通するガス導入口を設けることもできる。   In addition, the airbag 1 is not limited to the configuration in which the front seat protection portion and the rear seat protection portion are connected by the communication portion, and the gas introduction port is provided at the rear end portion, and can take various forms. For example, it is possible to provide a gas introduction port that is located at the upper center of the airbag main body and communicates the inflating portion with the outside.

また、エアバッグ1は、先端部31aから後端部31bまで展開して窓部8の全長を覆う構成としたが、この構成に限られず、窓部8の一部のみを覆う構成とすることもできる。この場合には、エアバッグ1の先端部31aにストラップなどととも呼ばれるテザーを取り付け、このテザーを介して車体側と連結することもできる。   Moreover, although the airbag 1 was set as the structure which expand | deploys from the front-end | tip part 31a to the rear-end part 31b and covers the full length of the window part 8, it is not restricted to this structure, It is set as the structure which covers only a part of window part 8. You can also. In this case, a tether called a strap or the like can be attached to the distal end portion 31a of the airbag 1, and can be connected to the vehicle body side via this tether.
