Description

本発明は、自動車等の車両の衝突時等に乗員を拘束するためのエアバッグ装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an airbag device for restraining an occupant when a vehicle such as an automobile collides.

自動車等の車両の衝突や車体横転時等に、乗員の周囲各部でエアバッグをインフレータにより膨張させ、乗員の身体を拘束するエアバッグ装置が知られている。例えば側突用エアバッグ装置は、シートの背もたれ部に内蔵されており、側面衝突時等には、側突用エアバッグがインフレータから噴射されるガスによって背もたれ部から乗員と車両のボディの側壁部との間に膨張展開する。   2. Description of the Related Art An airbag device that restrains an occupant's body by inflating an airbag with an inflator at various parts around the occupant when a vehicle such as an automobile collides or the vehicle rolls over is known. For example, the side airbag device is incorporated in the seat back portion, and in the event of a side collision, the side airbag portion from the back portion to the occupant and the vehicle body is injected by the gas injected from the inflator. It expands and expands between.

このようなエアバッグ装置において、近年では装置全体の軽量化、省容積化、及び低コスト化を図る目的で、インフレータをエアバッグの内部に収納する構成が採用されている。この場合には、膨張展開前の折り畳まれた状態のエアバッグ全体を収容するリテーナが不要となる。しかし、内部にインフレータを収納したまま基布を縫製して袋体のエアバッグを作成することは困難であるため、エアバッグにはインフレータを後から収納するための開口部を設ける必要がある。この場合、上記リテーナが不要となることでその開口部における気密性が低下し、インフレータから噴出されるガスの圧力が低下する懸念があった。   In such an airbag apparatus, in recent years, a configuration in which an inflator is accommodated in an airbag is employed for the purpose of reducing the weight of the entire apparatus, saving the volume, and reducing the cost. In this case, a retainer that accommodates the entire airbag in a folded state before inflating and deploying becomes unnecessary. However, since it is difficult to sew the base fabric with the inflator stored therein to create a bag airbag, it is necessary to provide the airbag with an opening for storing the inflator later. In this case, since the retainer is unnecessary, there is a concern that the airtightness in the opening portion is lowered and the pressure of the gas ejected from the inflator is lowered.

そこで従来では、このようなガス圧の低下を抑制する技術として、例えば特許文献1に記載のものが開示されている。この従来技術では、バッグ本体に設けた第1の開口に重複する内部パネルに、当該第1の開口と重ならない配置で第2の開口を設けている。これにより、2つの開口を介して外部からエアバッグ内にインフレータを容易に挿入できるとともに、2つの開口が重なっていないのでインフレータからのガスが直通状に通り抜けることがなく、ガス圧の低下を抑制できる。   Therefore, conventionally, for example, a technique described in Patent Document 1 is disclosed as a technique for suppressing such a decrease in gas pressure. In this prior art, the second opening is provided in the inner panel overlapping the first opening provided in the bag body so as not to overlap the first opening. As a result, the inflator can be easily inserted into the airbag from the outside through the two openings, and since the two openings do not overlap, the gas from the inflator does not pass through in a straight line and suppresses a decrease in gas pressure. it can.

エアバッグの膨張展開時には基布に張力が付加されるため、その全体で十分な強度を持たせる必要がある。しかし上記従来技術では、リテーナを設ける必要がないために第1の開口部及び第2の開口部に応力が集中してしまう懸念があった。これを回避するためには別途の複雑な設計が必要であった。   Since tension is applied to the base fabric when the airbag is inflated and deployed, it is necessary to provide sufficient strength as a whole. However, in the above prior art, since there is no need to provide a retainer, there is a concern that stress concentrates on the first opening and the second opening. In order to avoid this, a separate complicated design was required.

本発明の目的は、そのような複雑な設計によることなく、インフレータ収納用の開口部における気密性と強度を向上できるエアバッグ装置を提供することにある。   The objective of this invention is providing the airbag apparatus which can improve the airtightness and intensity | strength in the opening part for inflator accommodation, without being based on such a complicated design.

上記目的を達成するために、第1発明のエアバッグ装置は、車両のボディの壁部とシートに着座した乗員との間に膨張展開するエアバッグと、前記エアバッグ内に収納され、膨張展開用のガスを噴出するインフレータと、を有するエアバッグ装置であって、前記インフレータは、前記エアバッグを貫通して前記車両に固定するための複数のボルトを略直線上の配置で備え、前記エアバッグは、前記インフレータの収納位置を含む所定の範囲で張り合わされる補強布を有し、前記インフレータを前記エアバッグの内部に収納させるためのスリットを、前記複数のボルトを貫通させる複数の貫通穴に渡る配置ラインに対し、前記エアバッグの基布と前記補強布とで互いに反対側に設けていることを特徴とする。   To achieve the above object, an airbag device according to a first aspect of the present invention is an airbag that inflates and deploys between a wall portion of a vehicle body and an occupant seated on a seat, and is accommodated in the airbag and inflated and deployed. An inflator for injecting a gas for use, wherein the inflator includes a plurality of bolts that pass through the airbag and are fixed to the vehicle in a substantially linear arrangement. The bag has a reinforcing cloth that is bonded to a predetermined range including a storage position of the inflator, and a plurality of through holes that allow the plurality of bolts to pass through slits for storing the inflator inside the airbag. The base fabric of the airbag and the reinforcing fabric are provided on opposite sides with respect to the arrangement line extending over.

車両の側面衝突時等の緊急時には、インフレータが起動され、このインフレータから噴出されるガスによって、エアバッグが乗員と車両のボディの側壁部との間に膨張展開する。このとき、エアバッグの基布に張力が付加される。また、インフレータをエアバッグの内部に収納する構成としていることで、エアバッグにはインフレータを外部から収納するためのスリットを設ける必要がある。そのためスリットの周囲における気密性も必要となる。   In an emergency such as a side collision of the vehicle, the inflator is activated, and the airbag is inflated and deployed between the passenger and the side wall of the vehicle body by the gas ejected from the inflator. At this time, tension is applied to the base fabric of the airbag. In addition, since the inflator is configured to be stored inside the airbag, it is necessary to provide the airbag with a slit for storing the inflator from the outside. Therefore, airtightness around the slit is also required.

これに対し本願第1発明においては、インフレータは、エアバッグを貫通して車両に固定するための複数の固定ボルトを略直線上の配置で備え、エアバッグは、インフレータの収納位置を含む所定の範囲で張り合わされる補強布を有し、インフレータをエアバッグの内部に収納させるためのスリットを、複数のボルトを貫通させる複数の貫通穴に渡る配置ラインに対し、エアバッグの基布と補強布とで互いに反対側に設けている。   On the other hand, in the first invention of the present application, the inflator includes a plurality of fixing bolts that pass through the airbag and are fixed to the vehicle in a substantially linear arrangement, and the airbag includes a predetermined position including the storage position of the inflator. A base fabric and a reinforcing fabric for an airbag with respect to an arrangement line that has a reinforcing fabric that is bonded in a range and that has a slit for accommodating an inflator inside an airbag and that extends across a plurality of through holes that allow a plurality of bolts to pass therethrough. And are provided on opposite sides.

このような構成により、配置ラインに対して互いに反対側に配置される複数のスリットがラビリンス構造となってその周囲の気密性が高く維持される。また、エアバッグが膨張展開する際には、エアバッグの基布と補強布とが相互補完的にその張力を受けることで各スリットへの応力集中を緩和できる。この結果、複雑な設計によることなく、インフレータ収納用の開口部における気密性と強度を向上できる。   With such a configuration, a plurality of slits arranged on opposite sides with respect to the arrangement line become a labyrinth structure, and the airtightness around the slit is maintained high. Further, when the airbag is inflated and deployed, stress concentration on each slit can be reduced by receiving the tension of the base fabric and the reinforcing fabric of the airbag in a complementary manner. As a result, the airtightness and strength of the opening for storing the inflator can be improved without using a complicated design.

第2発明のエアバッグ装置は、上記第1発明において、スリットは、いずれも略直線状、かつ互いに略平行な配置で設けられていることを特徴とする。   The airbag device according to a second aspect of the invention is characterized in that, in the first aspect of the invention, the slits are provided in a substantially linear shape and in an arrangement substantially parallel to each other.

本願第2発明においては、スリットは、いずれも略直線状、かつ互いに略平行な配置で設けられている構成とする。これにより、エアバッグを撓ませることで各スリットの開口を容易に重ねることができ、それを介してインフレータを容易に収納できる。   In the second invention of the present application, the slits are all provided in a substantially linear shape and in an arrangement substantially parallel to each other. Thereby, the opening of each slit can be easily overlapped by bending the airbag, and the inflator can be easily accommodated therethrough.

第3発明のエアバッグ装置は、上記第1又は第2発明において、前記スリットは、いずれも前記配置ラインと略平行な配置で、かつ前記配置ラインより短く設けられていることを特徴とする。   The airbag device according to a third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the first or second aspect of the invention, each of the slits is disposed substantially parallel to the arrangement line and shorter than the arrangement line.

本願第3発明においては、スリットは、いずれも配置ラインと略平行な配置で、かつ配置ラインより短く設けられている構成とする。これにより、配置ライン上の各貫通穴が受ける張力のバランスが均等となるため、各スリットにおける応力の集中を回避して強度を向上できる。   In the third invention of the present application, all the slits are arranged substantially parallel to the arrangement line and shorter than the arrangement line. Thereby, since the balance of the tension | tensile_strength which each through-hole on an arrangement | positioning line receives becomes uniform, intensity | strength can be improved by avoiding the concentration of the stress in each slit.

第4発明のエアバッグ装置は、上記第1乃至第3発明のいずれかにおいて、前記スリットは、前記インフレータと前記車両側の設置部分との間に挟まれる範囲内に設けられていることを特徴とする。   In the airbag device according to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to third aspects, the slit is provided in a range sandwiched between the inflator and the installation portion on the vehicle side. And

本願第4発明においては、スリットは、インフレータと車両側の設置部分との間に挟まれる範囲内に設けられている構成とする。これにより、各スリットが閉塞されるとともに基布と補強布とが密接し、上記ラビリンス構造による気密性が向上する。   In the fourth invention of the present application, the slit is provided within a range sandwiched between the inflator and the installation portion on the vehicle side. Thereby, each slit is closed and the base fabric and the reinforcing fabric are in close contact with each other, and the airtightness by the labyrinth structure is improved.

第5発明のエアバッグ装置は、上記第1発明において、前記エアバッグは、前記補強布を複数枚備え、これら複数枚の補強布に設けられるスリットは、直接張り合わされる前記基布又は前記補強布とで互いに前記配置ラインに対し反対側に設けられていることを特徴とする。   The airbag device according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the airbag device according to the first aspect, wherein the airbag includes a plurality of the reinforcing cloths, and the slits provided in the plurality of reinforcing cloths are directly attached to the base cloth or the reinforcing element. The cloths are provided on opposite sides of the arrangement line.

本願第5発明においては、エアバッグは、補強布を複数枚備え、これら複数枚の補強布に設けられるスリットは、直接張り合わされる基布又は補強布とで互いに配置ラインに対し反対側に設けられている構成とする。これにより、補強布の枚数及びそれらの張り合わせ位置によらず、インフレータ収納用の開口部における気密性と強度を向上できる。   In the fifth invention of the present application, the airbag includes a plurality of reinforcing cloths, and the slits provided in the plurality of reinforcing cloths are provided on the opposite sides of the arrangement line with the base cloth or the reinforcing cloth directly bonded to each other. The configuration is as follows. Thereby, the airtightness and strength in the opening for accommodating the inflator can be improved regardless of the number of reinforcing cloths and their bonding positions.

本発明によれば、複雑な設計によることなく、インフレータ収納用の開口部における気密性と強度を向上できる。   According to the present invention, it is possible to improve the airtightness and strength of the opening for accommodating the inflator without using a complicated design.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of a seat of an automobile (vehicle) provided with a side-impact airbag device that is an embodiment of the airbag device of the present invention. FIG. (B) has shown the time of inflation of an airbag. The right side in the figure corresponds to the front (traveling direction) of the vehicle, the left side in the figure corresponds to the rear of the vehicle, and the vertical direction in the figure corresponds to the vertical direction as it is. Although not particularly shown in FIG. 1, the front side of the figure corresponds to the right side seen in the traveling direction of the vehicle, and the back side of the figure corresponds to the left side seen in the traveling direction of the vehicle. Hereinafter, the direction of the vehicle installation reference is illustrated as appropriate in each drawing, and description will be made based on the direction.

この図1において、シート10上に乗員12が着座している。シート10(車両用シート)は座部10Aを有し、この座部10Aから背もたれ部10Bが上方に突出している。この背もたれ部10Bの頂部には、ヘッドレスト10Cが取り付けられている。   In FIG. 1, an occupant 12 is seated on a seat 10. The seat 10 (vehicle seat) has a seat portion 10A, and a backrest portion 10B protrudes upward from the seat portion 10A. A headrest 10C is attached to the top of the backrest 10B.

シート10は、事故による側面衝突又は車体横転時等に乗員12の上半身の移動を規制するための側突用エアバッグ装置14を背もたれ部10B内に装備している。この側突用エアバッグ装置14は、自動車のボディの側壁部(図示せず。図1では紙面手前側に位置する)とシート10に着座した乗員12との間に膨張展開する側突用エアバッグ16(エアバッグ)と、この側突用エアバッグ16が折り畳まれた状態で全体を包む保護カバー18と、側突用エアバッグ16内に収納され、膨張展開用のガスを供給するインフレータ20(後述の図4等参照)を備えている。このインフレータ20は、図示しないインフレータ制御回路によって点火される。   The seat 10 is equipped with a side impact airbag device 14 in the backrest portion 10B for restricting the movement of the upper body of the occupant 12 at the time of a side collision or a vehicle rollover due to an accident. The side-impact airbag device 14 is inflated and deployed between a side wall portion (not shown in FIG. 1, located on the front side of the paper surface in FIG. 1) and an occupant 12 seated on the seat 10. A bag 16 (airbag), a protective cover 18 that wraps the entire bag 16 in a folded state, and an inflator 20 that is accommodated in the side airbag 16 and supplies gas for inflation and deployment. (See FIG. 4 and the like described later). The inflator 20 is ignited by an inflator control circuit (not shown).

図1(a)に示すように、平常時には、側突用エアバッグ16は、保護カバー18内に折り畳まれた状態でシート10の背もたれ部10B内に収納されている。一方、例えば自動車が側面衝突等した場合には、上記インフレータ制御回路がインフレータ20のイニシエータを起動させる。これによりインフレータ20が点火され、図1(b)に示すように、側突用エアバッグ16が膨張して保護カバー18及びシート10から(本実施形態では背もたれ部10Bの前面の布地とボディ側壁部側の横面の布地の図示しない縫製ラインを割って)飛び出し、自動車のボディの側壁部と乗員12との間に展開する。このとき、側突用エアバッグ16は前方及び上方に向けて展開し、乗員12の頭部及び胸部を受け止めて衝撃を吸収するとともに、車両側部方向への移動を規制する。   As shown in FIG. 1A, in a normal state, the side airbag 16 is housed in the backrest portion 10 </ b> B of the seat 10 while being folded in the protective cover 18. On the other hand, for example, when the automobile has a side collision, the inflator control circuit activates the initiator of the inflator 20. As a result, the inflator 20 is ignited, and as shown in FIG. 1B, the side impact airbag 16 is inflated from the protective cover 18 and the seat 10 (in this embodiment, the fabric and the body side wall in front of the backrest portion 10B). The cloth on the side cloth on the side portion is broken out (not shown in the figure) and is developed between the side wall of the automobile body and the occupant 12. At this time, the side airbag 16 is deployed forward and upward, receives the head and chest of the occupant 12, absorbs the impact, and restricts movement toward the vehicle side.

The front side in the figure corresponds to the inner surface side of the side airbag 16. In the development plan view of the base fabric 21 of the side impact airbag 16 shown in FIG. 3A, the base fabric 21 of the side impact airbag 16 is formed in the substantially same shape as described above. 22A and the second panel 22B are integrally provided. The first panel 22A and the second panel 22B are integrally connected in the vicinity of the storage position of the inflator 20 (corresponding to the lower left end in FIG. 2, see the dotted line in the figure), and in the horizontal direction in the figure Are arranged symmetrically. A boundary line Lb (see the alternate long and short dash line in the figure) of this connecting portion is valley-folded with respect to the base fabric 21, and is configured as a bag body by sewing and joining along the entire outer edge portion. (See FIG. 5 described later).

第2パネル22Bでの境界線Lb付近、つまり上記図2中の左側下方の端部でインフレータ20の収納位置に相当する部分には、3つの貫通穴23と1つのスリット24が形成されている。3つの貫通穴23は、後述するインフレータ20の3つの固定ボルト(ボルト)を貫通させるための穴であり、上下方向に略直線上に並ぶ配置で形成されている。スリット24は、袋体として縫製結合された側突用エアバッグ16の外部から内部へ、インフレータ20を挿入し収納するための開口部として形成されている。第2パネル22Bにおいては、スリット24が上記3つの貫通穴23に渡る配置ラインLa(図中の二点鎖線参照)に対して車両設置基準の前方側に形成されている。   Three through holes 23 and one slit 24 are formed in the vicinity of the boundary line Lb in the second panel 22B, that is, in the portion corresponding to the storage position of the inflator 20 at the lower left end in FIG. . The three through holes 23 are holes through which three fixing bolts (bolts) of the inflator 20 to be described later are passed, and are formed so as to be arranged on a substantially straight line in the vertical direction. The slit 24 is formed as an opening for inserting and storing the inflator 20 from the outside to the inside of the side impact airbag 16 that is sewn and joined as a bag body. In the second panel 22B, the slit 24 is formed on the front side of the vehicle installation standard with respect to the arrangement line La (see the two-dot chain line in the drawing) extending over the three through holes 23.

また、側突用エアバッグ16は、図3(b)に示す形状の補強布25を2枚備えている(図中では1枚のみ図示)。これら2枚の補強布25は、基布21に張り合わせてインフレータ20の収納位置における気密性と強度を補強するためのものであり、いずれも図3(a)の基布21におけるインフレータ20の収納位置を含む範囲(図3(a)中の破線で挟まれた範囲;所定の範囲に相当)と同一の形状で形成されている。2枚の補強布25にも、それぞれ3つの貫通穴23と1つのスリット24が形成されている。3つの貫通穴23については、いずれの補強布25においても上記第2パネル22Bに対応して重なる配置で形成されている。しかし、スリット24については、2枚の補強布25のいずれにおいても、3つの貫通穴23に渡る配置ラインLaに対して車両設置基準の後方側に形成されている。   The side airbag 16 includes two reinforcing cloths 25 having the shape shown in FIG. 3B (only one is shown in the figure). These two reinforcing cloths 25 are for bonding to the base cloth 21 to reinforce the airtightness and strength at the storage position of the inflator 20, both of which store the inflator 20 in the base cloth 21 of FIG. It is formed in the same shape as a range including a position (a range sandwiched between broken lines in FIG. 3A; corresponding to a predetermined range). The two reinforcing cloths 25 are also formed with three through holes 23 and one slit 24, respectively. The three through holes 23 are formed so as to overlap with the second panel 22B in any of the reinforcing cloths 25. However, the slit 24 is formed on the rear side of the vehicle installation reference with respect to the arrangement line La extending over the three through holes 23 in any of the two reinforcing cloths 25.

第2パネル22Bと2枚の補強布25のそれぞれに形成されるスリット24は、いずれも上下方向に沿った直線状で、3つの貫通穴23に渡る配置ラインLaよりも短くかつ平行な配置で形成される。   Each of the slits 24 formed in each of the second panel 22B and the two reinforcing cloths 25 is linear along the vertical direction, and is shorter than and parallel to the arrangement line La extending over the three through holes 23. It is formed.

図4は、インフレータ20の外観全体を斜視で示している。この図4において、インフレータ20は、インフレータ本体31と、リテーナ32とを有している。インフレータ本体31は全体の形状が略円筒状であり、車両設置基準での下方側の端部にガスの噴出口31aを備えている。リテーナ32は、インフレータ本体31を把持してシート10に固定する構造部材であり、車両設置基準での上下方向に長く形成された略平板状の基板部33と、インフレータ本体31を挟持するクランプ部34と、インフレータ本体31からのガスの噴出方向を偏向させる偏向部35とを一体に有している。基板部33は、車両設置基準での左方に対向している面に上下方向で略直線上に並ぶ配置で3つの固定ボルト36を設けている。これら固定ボルト36が、後述するように側突用エアバッグ16を貫通してシート10内部の構造部材(設置部分)に対し締結されることで、側突用エアバッグ装置14全体が固定される。クランプ部34は、略円筒形状のインフレータ本体31の円周側部を挟持して基板部33に固定する。偏向部35は、基板部33とともにインフレータ本体31の噴出口31aに対して後方と左右方向で囲むことで、ガスの噴出方向を前方へ偏向させる。   FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the entire appearance of the inflator 20. In FIG. 4, the inflator 20 includes an inflator body 31 and a retainer 32. The inflator main body 31 has a substantially cylindrical shape as a whole, and is provided with a gas outlet 31a at an end portion on the lower side on the basis of vehicle installation. The retainer 32 is a structural member that holds the inflator body 31 and fixes the inflator body 31 to the seat 10. The retainer 32 is a substantially flat board portion 33 that is long in the vertical direction with respect to the vehicle installation reference, and a clamp portion that holds the inflator body 31. 34 and a deflecting portion 35 for deflecting the direction of gas ejection from the inflator body 31 are integrally provided. The board portion 33 is provided with three fixing bolts 36 arranged in a substantially straight line in the vertical direction on the surface facing the left in the vehicle installation reference. These fixing bolts 36 pass through the side impact airbag 16 and are fastened to structural members (installed portions) inside the seat 10 as will be described later, whereby the entire side impact airbag device 14 is fixed. . The clamp portion 34 clamps the circumferential side portion of the substantially cylindrical inflator body 31 and fixes it to the substrate portion 33. The deflecting unit 35 surrounds the jet port 31a of the inflator body 31 together with the substrate unit 33 in the rear and left and right directions, thereby deflecting the gas ejection direction forward.

上記の側突用エアバッグ16の基布21と、2枚の補強布25と、インフレータ20は、図5に示す配置関係で組み付けられる。なお図中では、基布21の第2パネル22Bが車両設置基準で正しく配置されており、これに対して第1パネル22Aが境界線Lbで直角に折られている状態を示している。2枚の補強布25が、第1パネル22Aと第2パネル22Bの下方側端部(つまりインフレータ20の収納位置)に対して、内側と外側から挟む配置で張り合わされ、縁部の全周で縫製結合される。このとき、第2パネル22Bと2枚の補強布25で、それぞれの3つの貫通穴23(及び配置ラインLa)が重なる。これら貫通穴23に対して左方から右方へ向けて固定ボルト36を貫通させるよう、インフレータ20が配置される。そして第2パネル22Bに対し第1パネル22Aを重ね合わせ、それらの外縁部に沿って全周に亘り縫製結合することで、側突用エアバッグ16が袋体として構成される。   The base fabric 21, the two reinforcing fabrics 25, and the inflator 20 of the side impact airbag 16 are assembled in the arrangement relationship shown in FIG. In addition, in the figure, the 2nd panel 22B of the base fabric 21 is correctly arrange | positioned on the vehicle installation reference | standard, and the 1st panel 22A has shown the state folded at right angle by the boundary line Lb with respect to this. Two reinforcing cloths 25 are attached to the lower end portions of the first panel 22A and the second panel 22B (that is, the storage position of the inflator 20) so as to be sandwiched from the inner side and the outer side. Sewing combined. At this time, the three through holes 23 (and the arrangement line La) overlap each other with the second panel 22B and the two reinforcing cloths 25. The inflator 20 is disposed so that the fixing bolts 36 are passed through the through holes 23 from left to right. The side panel airbag 16 is configured as a bag body by superimposing the first panel 22A on the second panel 22B and sewing and joining the entire periphery along their outer edges.

しかし、実際の側突用エアバッグ16の作製作業において、内部にインフレータ20を収納した状態で外縁部の縫製結合を行うことは困難である。そのため、先に基布21と補強布25の張り合わせと縫製結合を行い、インフレータ20を収納しないまま第1パネル22Aと第2パネル22Bを重ねて外縁部を縫製結合し、袋体の側突用エアバッグ16を作製する。その後に3つのスリット24を介してインフレータ20を側突用エアバッグ16の内部に収納し、3つの固定ボルト36をそれぞれ貫通穴23に貫通させる。ここで、第2パネル22Bと2枚の補強布25のそれぞれに形成した3つスリット24は重なるよう配置されていないものの、それぞれ直線状で互いに平行かつ近接する配置で形成されている。このため、側突用エアバッグ16を撓ませることで3つのスリット24の開口を容易に重ねることができ、それを介してインフレータ20を容易に収納できる(図示省略)。   However, in the actual manufacturing operation of the side airbag 16, it is difficult to sew and join the outer edge portion with the inflator 20 housed inside. Therefore, the base fabric 21 and the reinforcing fabric 25 are first bonded and sewn together, and the first panel 22A and the second panel 22B are overlapped without sewing the inflator 20, and the outer edges are sewn and joined. The airbag 16 is produced. Thereafter, the inflator 20 is housed in the side impact airbag 16 through the three slits 24, and the three fixing bolts 36 are respectively passed through the through holes 23. Here, although the three slits 24 formed in each of the second panel 22B and the two reinforcing cloths 25 are not arranged so as to overlap each other, they are each formed in a linear shape and in parallel with each other. For this reason, the opening of the three slits 24 can be easily overlapped by bending the side impact airbag 16, and the inflator 20 can be easily accommodated (not shown).

そしてインフレータ20を収納した側突用エアバッグ16は所定の折り方で略直方形形状となるよう折り畳まれ、図6に示すようにその全体を保護カバー18で包む。この保護カバー18は、略十字型の形状に形成された布材であり、各端部に固定穴26が形成されている。図示するように、略直方形形状に折り畳まれた側突用エアバッグ16の背を保護カバー18の中央部に当てた状態で、各端部を折り曲げて固定ボルト36にそれぞれの固定穴を挿通させることにより側突用エアバッグ16の折りたたみ状態を固定する。   The side airbag 16 containing the inflator 20 is folded into a substantially rectangular shape by a predetermined folding method, and the whole is wrapped with a protective cover 18 as shown in FIG. The protective cover 18 is a cloth material formed in a substantially cross shape, and a fixing hole 26 is formed at each end. As shown in the drawing, with the back of the side-impact airbag 16 folded into a substantially rectangular shape applied to the central portion of the protective cover 18, each end is bent and the respective fixing holes are inserted into the fixing bolts 36. By doing so, the folding state of the side airbag 16 is fixed.

このようにして、側突用エアバッグ装置14はその全体の形状が図7に示すような略直方体で構成される。図7(a)は車両設置基準の後方側から見た背面図であり、図7(b)は図7(a)中の矢視VIIb−VIIb断面で見た側断面図である。この断面図において、インフレータ20が後方側に位置し、折り畳まれた側突用エアバッグが前方側に位置する。インフレータ本体31から噴出したガスは、リテーナ32の偏向部35によって前方側へ向けて噴出し、側突用エアバッグ16を前方へ向けて膨張展開させる。なお特に図示しないが、保護カバー18には所定の配置で強度的に低いミシン目が設けられており、側突用エアバッグ16が膨張展開する際にはそのミシン目を割って側突用エアバッグ16が外部へ飛び出す。   In this way, the side-impact airbag device 14 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape as shown in FIG. Fig.7 (a) is the rear view seen from the back side of vehicle installation reference | standard, FIG.7 (b) is a sectional side view seen in the arrow VIIb-VIIb cross section in Fig.7 (a). In this sectional view, the inflator 20 is located on the rear side, and the folded side airbag is located on the front side. The gas ejected from the inflator body 31 is ejected forward by the deflecting portion 35 of the retainer 32, and the side airbag 16 is inflated and deployed forward. Although not particularly illustrated, the protective cover 18 is provided with a perforation having a low strength in a predetermined arrangement. When the side airbag 16 is inflated and deployed, the perforation air is broken by breaking the perforation. The bag 16 jumps out.

図8は、図7(b)におけるインフレータ20付近の構成を拡大して示している。なおこの図においては、折り畳まれた部分の側突用エアバッグ16と保護カバー18の図示を省略している。この図8において、インフレータ20の収納位置の周囲では、側突用エアバッグ16の基布21に対し、その内側と外側で挟むように2枚の補強布25が張り合わされている。また、第2パネル22Bの貫通穴23と各補強布25の貫通穴23は、左右方向で貫通するように重なって配置されている。第2パネル22Bのスリット24が貫通穴23(配置ラインLa)より前方側に位置しているのに対し、2枚の補強布25のそれぞれのスリット24は貫通穴23より後方側に位置している。すなわち、第2パネル22Bのスリット24と各補強布25のスリット24は、貫通穴23に対して前後方向に対称的に(互いに反対側に)配置されている。そしてリテーナ32の固定ボルト36が、第2パネル22Bと2枚の補強布25の貫通穴23を貫通して図示しないシート10内の構造部材に対し締結されることで、リテーナ32の基板部33と構造部材により第2パネル22Bと2枚の補強布25それぞれのスリット24を塞ぐように押圧して挟み込む。   FIG. 8 shows an enlarged view of the configuration in the vicinity of the inflator 20 in FIG. In the drawing, illustration of the folded side airbag 16 and the protective cover 18 is omitted. In FIG. 8, in the vicinity of the storage position of the inflator 20, two reinforcing cloths 25 are bonded to the base cloth 21 of the side airbag 16 so as to be sandwiched between the inside and the outside. Further, the through hole 23 of the second panel 22B and the through hole 23 of each reinforcing cloth 25 are disposed so as to penetrate in the left-right direction. The slits 24 of the second panel 22B are located on the front side of the through holes 23 (arrangement line La), whereas the slits 24 of the two reinforcing cloths 25 are located on the rear side of the through holes 23. Yes. That is, the slit 24 of the second panel 22 </ b> B and the slit 24 of each reinforcing cloth 25 are disposed symmetrically with respect to the through hole 23 in the front-rear direction (on opposite sides). Then, the fixing bolt 36 of the retainer 32 passes through the second panel 22B and the through holes 23 of the two reinforcing cloths 25 and is fastened to a structural member in the sheet 10 (not shown), whereby the base plate portion 33 of the retainer 32 is secured. And the structural members are pressed and sandwiched so as to close the slits 24 of the second panel 22B and the two reinforcing cloths 25, respectively.

以上のような構成において、インフレータ本体31からガスが噴出された際には、千鳥配置の3つのスリット24がラビリンス構造となって側突用エアバッグ16の外部への直接的なガス圧の低下を抑制できる。つまり、各スリット24がインフレータ20を挿入できるほどの大きさで形成されていながら、その周囲の気密性は高く維持される。   In the configuration as described above, when gas is ejected from the inflator body 31, the three slits 24 arranged in a staggered manner have a labyrinth structure to directly reduce the gas pressure to the outside of the side airbag 16. Can be suppressed. That is, while each slit 24 is formed to have a size that allows the inflator 20 to be inserted, the airtightness around the slit 24 is kept high.

また、側突用エアバッグ16が膨張展開する際には、第1パネル22Aと第2パネル22Bのいずれにも張力が付加されるが、第2パネル22Bと2枚の補強布25とが相互補完的にその張力を受けることで各スリット24への応力集中を緩和できる。具体的には、第1パネル22Aに付加される張力は、貫通穴23より後方側の部分の第2パネル22Bに伝えられて固定ボルト36で受けるため、貫通穴23より後方側に位置している各補強布25のスリット24への応力集中を緩和できる。また、第2パネル22Bに付加される張力は、貫通穴23より前方側の部分の2枚の補強布25に伝えられて固定ボルト36で受けるため、貫通穴23より前方側に位置している第2パネル22Bのスリット24への応力集中を緩和できる。   Further, when the side airbag 16 is inflated and deployed, tension is applied to both the first panel 22A and the second panel 22B, but the second panel 22B and the two reinforcing cloths 25 are mutually connected. By receiving the tension in a complementary manner, the stress concentration on each slit 24 can be relaxed. Specifically, the tension applied to the first panel 22 </ b> A is transmitted to the second panel 22 </ b> B at the rear side of the through hole 23 and received by the fixing bolt 36. The stress concentration on the slit 24 of each reinforcing cloth 25 can be alleviated. Further, the tension applied to the second panel 22B is transmitted to the two reinforcing cloths 25 at the front side of the through hole 23 and is received by the fixing bolts 36, and therefore is positioned on the front side of the through hole 23. The stress concentration on the slit 24 of the second panel 22B can be relaxed.

以上説明した実施形態の側突用エアバッグ装置14によれば、以下の効果が得られる。すなわち、本実施形態においては、インフレータ20は、側突用エアバッグ16を貫通して車両に固定するための複数の固定ボルト36を略直線上の配置で備え、側突用エアバッグ16は、インフレータ20の収納位置を含む所定の範囲で張り合わされる補強布25を有し、インフレータ20を側突用エアバッグ16の内部に収納させるためのスリット24を、複数の固定ボルト36を貫通させる複数の貫通穴23に渡る配置ラインLaに対し、側突用エアバッグ16の基布21と補強布25とで互いに反対側に設けている。このような構成により、千鳥配置の3つのスリット24がラビリンス構造となってその周囲の気密性が高く維持される。また、側突用エアバッグ16が膨張展開する際には、第1パネル22Aと第2パネル22Bのいずれにも張力が付加されるが、第2パネル22Bと2枚の補強布25とが相互補完的にその張力を受けることで各スリット24への応力集中を緩和できる。この結果、本実施形態によれば、複雑な設計によることなく、インフレータ20を側突用エアバッグ16内に収納するためのスリット24における気密性と強度を向上できる。   According to the side airbag device 14 of the embodiment described above, the following effects can be obtained. That is, in the present embodiment, the inflator 20 includes a plurality of fixing bolts 36 that pass through the side impact airbag 16 and are fixed to the vehicle in a substantially linear arrangement. A plurality of reinforcing bolts 25 are attached to each other within a predetermined range including the storage position of the inflator 20, and a plurality of slits 24 for storing the inflator 20 inside the side airbag 16 are passed through the plurality of fixing bolts 36. The base cloth 21 and the reinforcing cloth 25 of the side impact airbag 16 are provided on opposite sides of the arrangement line La across the through hole 23. With such a configuration, the three slits 24 arranged in a staggered manner have a labyrinth structure, and the airtightness around the slit 24 is maintained high. Further, when the side airbag 16 is inflated and deployed, tension is applied to both the first panel 22A and the second panel 22B, but the second panel 22B and the two reinforcing cloths 25 are mutually connected. By receiving the tension in a complementary manner, the stress concentration on each slit 24 can be relaxed. As a result, according to the present embodiment, the airtightness and strength of the slit 24 for housing the inflator 20 in the side airbag 16 can be improved without complicated design.

また、本実施形態では特に、基布21と各補強布25のそれぞれのスリット24は、いずれも略直線状、かつ互いに略平行な配置で設けられている。このような構成により、側突用エアバッグ16を撓ませることで各スリット24の開口を容易に重ねることができ、それを介してインフレータ20を容易に収納できる。   In the present embodiment, in particular, the slits 24 of the base fabric 21 and the reinforcing fabrics 25 are both provided in a substantially linear shape and in an arrangement substantially parallel to each other. With such a configuration, the openings of the slits 24 can be easily overlapped by bending the side-impact airbag 16, and the inflator 20 can be easily accommodated therethrough.

また、本実施形態では特に、基布21と各補強布25のそれぞれのスリット24は、いずれも貫通穴23の配置ラインLaと略平行な配置で、かつ配置ラインLaより短く設けられている。このような構成により、配置ラインLa上の各貫通穴23が受ける張力のバランスが均等となるため、各スリット24における応力の集中を回避して強度を向上できる。   In the present embodiment, in particular, the slits 24 of the base fabric 21 and the reinforcing fabrics 25 are both arranged substantially parallel to the arrangement line La of the through holes 23 and shorter than the arrangement line La. With such a configuration, the balance of the tension received by each through hole 23 on the arrangement line La is equalized, so that the concentration of stress in each slit 24 can be avoided and the strength can be improved.

また、本実施形態では特に、基布21と各補強布25のそれぞれのスリット24は、インフレータ20の基板部33と車両側の設置部分との間に挟まれる範囲内に設けられている。このような構成により、各スリット24が閉塞されるとともに基布21と補強布25とが密接し、上記ラビリンス構造による気密性が向上する。   In the present embodiment, in particular, the slits 24 of the base fabric 21 and the reinforcing fabrics 25 are provided in a range sandwiched between the base plate portion 33 of the inflator 20 and the installation portion on the vehicle side. With such a configuration, each slit 24 is closed and the base fabric 21 and the reinforcing fabric 25 are in close contact with each other, and the airtightness due to the labyrinth structure is improved.

なお上記実施形態では、2枚の補強布25が基布21の内面側と外面側を挟むように張り合わされ縫製結合されたが、本発明はこれに限られない。他にも、補強布25を3枚以上張り合わせてもよく、また基布21の内面側又は外面側のいずれか一方だけに複数枚張り合わせてもよい。この場合には、上述した気密性を図るためのラビリンス構造とするため、また基布21と補強布25とが相互補完的に張力を受けるために、直接張り合わされる基布21又は補強布25どうしの間で互いに配置ラインLaに対し反対側にスリット24を設ければよい(図示省略)。   In the above-described embodiment, the two reinforcing cloths 25 are bonded and sewn together so as to sandwich the inner surface side and the outer surface side of the base fabric 21, but the present invention is not limited to this. In addition, three or more reinforcing cloths 25 may be bonded together, or a plurality of reinforcing cloths 25 may be bonded only to either the inner surface side or the outer surface side of the base fabric 21. In this case, the base cloth 21 or the reinforcing cloth 25 that are directly bonded to each other in order to obtain the above-described labyrinth structure for achieving airtightness and because the base cloth 21 and the reinforcing cloth 25 receive complementary tension. What is necessary is just to provide the slit 24 on the opposite side with respect to the arrangement line La between each other (not shown).

また上記実施形態では、シート10の背もたれ部10B内に装備されたいわゆるシートマウントタイプの側突用エアバッグ装置に本発明を適用した場合を例にとって説明したが、これに限られず、例えば自動車のドアに装備されたいわゆるドアマウントタイプの側突用エアバッグ装置に本発明を適用してもよい。   Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a so-called seat mount type side airbag device equipped in the backrest portion 10B of the seat 10 has been described as an example. The present invention may be applied to a so-called door mount type side airbag device mounted on a door.

また上記実施形態では、側突用エアバッグ装置に適用した例を説明したが、本発明のエアバッグ装置はこれに限られない。他にも、乗員12の膝や脚部を保護するためのニーエアバッグ装置などに本発明を適用してもよい。   Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated the example applied to the side impact airbag apparatus, the airbag apparatus of this invention is not restricted to this. In addition, the present invention may be applied to a knee airbag device for protecting the knees and legs of the occupant 12.
