It is configured.

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

まず、エアバッグ1、取付体20、及び複数の連結体22を組み合わせて、カーテントリムモジュールとも呼び得るモジュール84を構成する。すなわち、まず、エアバッグ1のエアバッグ本体部31を所定の細長い形状に折り畳み、図1に示すように、取付体20のエアバッグ収納部41に収納するとともに、各取付片部32をそれぞれスリット58から外側に引き出す。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、例えば、下側部をロール状に折り畳んで集積部を形成するとともに、上側部はこの集積部を両側から包むパラソル状の案内部として折り畳むこともできる。   First, a module 84 that can also be called a curtain trim module is configured by combining the airbag 1, the attachment body 20, and the plurality of coupling bodies 22. That is, first, the airbag body 31 of the airbag 1 is folded into a predetermined elongated shape, and is stored in the airbag storage 41 of the mounting body 20 as shown in FIG. Pull outward from 58. The airbag body 31 can be folded in various ways, for example, the lower part is folded into a roll shape to form an integrated part, and the upper part wraps the integrated part from both sides. It can also be folded as a parasol-shaped guide.

また、連結体22は、取付部55を軸孔部74に圧入して、この取付部55に回動可能に取り付ける。この圧入工程では、径大部57の径寸法は、軸孔部74の径寸法より大きいため、切欠部81を拡開させながら、連結体本体部71が変形しつつ、径大部57が軸孔部74を通過する。そして、径大部57が径大部受部79に到達した状態で、連結体本体部71は復帰変形し、取付軸部56が軸孔部74に回動自在に支持されるとともに、径大部57が径大部受部79に係止され軸方向に抜け止めされる。   In addition, the connecting body 22 is press-fitted into the shaft hole portion 74 of the attachment portion 55 and attached to the attachment portion 55 so as to be rotatable. In this press-fitting process, since the diameter dimension of the large diameter part 57 is larger than the diameter dimension of the shaft hole part 74, the connecting body main body 71 is deformed while the notch part 81 is expanded, and the large diameter part 57 is It passes through the hole 74. Then, with the large-diameter portion 57 reaching the large-diameter portion receiving portion 79, the connecting body main body portion 71 is restored and deformed, the mounting shaft portion 56 is rotatably supported by the shaft hole portion 74, and the large-diameter portion The portion 57 is locked to the large diameter portion receiving portion 79 and is prevented from coming off in the axial direction.

そして、各取付部55にそれぞれ連結体22を取り付けた状態で、連結体22の先端部から被せるようにして、取付片部32の係止孔32aを取付片保持部77に係止する。この状態で、取付片部32は、連結体22の取付片保持部77に係止して抜け止めされ、また、この取付片保持部77を介して、取付体20の取付部55に係止して抜け止めされる。なお、係止孔32aを連結体22に被せる際は、連結台部76の曲面状に傾斜した端面76dが案内部となる。そして、このようにして、モジュール84が構成される。   Then, with the connecting body 22 attached to each mounting portion 55, the locking hole 32 a of the mounting piece portion 32 is locked to the mounting piece holding portion 77 so as to cover the tip of the connecting body 22. In this state, the attachment piece portion 32 is locked to the attachment piece holding portion 77 of the coupling body 22 and is prevented from coming off, and is also locked to the attachment portion 55 of the attachment body 20 via the attachment piece holding portion 77. To prevent it from coming off. Note that when the locking hole 32a is put on the connecting body 22, the end surface 76d inclined to the curved surface of the connecting base portion 76 serves as a guide portion. In this way, the module 84 is configured.

次いで、このモジュール84の各連結体22について、図6(a)に示すように、連結台部76の長手方向が取付受部25の取付受孔部27の長手方向に合うように、ハンドル部72を所定の位置(着脱位置)に回動しておく。そして、このモジュール84を持ち上げ、各連結体22の連結台部76をそれぞれ対応する取付受孔部27に挿入しながら、モジュール84をルーフサイドレール15に沿わせて配置する。また、連結台部76を取付受孔部27に挿入する際は、連結台部76の曲面状に傾斜した端面76dが案内部となる。   Next, with respect to each connecting body 22 of this module 84, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), the handle portion so that the longitudinal direction of the connecting base portion 76 matches the longitudinal direction of the mounting receiving hole portion 27 of the mounting receiving portion 25. 72 is rotated to a predetermined position (detachment position). Then, the module 84 is lifted, and the module 84 is disposed along the roof side rail 15 while inserting the connecting base portions 76 of the connecting bodies 22 into the corresponding attachment receiving hole portions 27. In addition, when the connecting base portion 76 is inserted into the attachment receiving hole portion 27, an end surface 76d inclined in a curved shape of the connecting base portion 76 serves as a guide portion.

次いで、モジュール84とルーフサイドレール15との隙間から側方に突出した各連結体22のハンドル部72を、隙間に押し込むようにして、所定方向(図6に示す矢印A方向)に約90度、図6(b)に示すように、所定の位置(係止位置)まで回動する。なお、図6(b)に示すように、ルーフサイドレール15の取付受部25には、このハンドル部72の回動位置を規制して係止位置を案内する突部などの規制部88を設けることもできる。また、ハンドル部72は、面方向に変形させながら隙間に押し込むように回動させることもできる。   Next, the handle portion 72 of each connecting body 22 projecting laterally from the gap between the module 84 and the roof side rail 15 is pushed into the gap so as to be approximately 90 degrees in a predetermined direction (the direction of arrow A shown in FIG. 6). As shown in FIG. 6 (b), it rotates to a predetermined position (locking position). As shown in FIG. 6B, the attachment receiving portion 25 of the roof side rail 15 is provided with a restricting portion 88 such as a protrusion that restricts the rotational position of the handle portion 72 and guides the locking position. It can also be provided. The handle portion 72 can also be rotated so as to be pushed into the gap while being deformed in the surface direction.

そして、この図6(b)に示す状態で、連結台部76の基端面76cが取付受孔部27から側方に突出し、取付受部25の取付受板部26に係止して抜け止めされ、モジュール84がルーフサイドレール15に機械的に固定される。さらに、エアバッグ1とインフレータとを接続するとともに、インフレータと車体3側に設置した制御装置とをハーネスなどを用いて電気的に接続し、パッキング体17をルーフサイドレール15に装着してエアバッグ装置2との隙間及びハンドル部72の先端部を覆うことにより、図2に示すように、エアバッグ装置2の設置が完了する。ここで、各連結体22すなわちハンドル部72が十分に回動されておらず、回転位置が正しくない場合は、図2に破線Bで示すように、ハンドル部72が突出するため、パッキング体17を装着できず、回転位置が正しくないことが明確に示される。   In the state shown in FIG. 6B, the base end surface 76c of the coupling base portion 76 protrudes laterally from the attachment receiving hole portion 27, and is latched to the attachment receiving plate portion 26 of the attachment receiving portion 25 to prevent it from coming off. The module 84 is mechanically fixed to the roof side rail 15. Further, the airbag 1 and the inflator are connected, and the inflator and the control device installed on the vehicle body 3 side are electrically connected using a harness or the like, and the packing body 17 is attached to the roof side rail 15 and the airbag is installed. By covering the gap with the device 2 and the tip of the handle portion 72, the installation of the airbag device 2 is completed as shown in FIG. Here, when each connecting body 22, that is, the handle portion 72 is not sufficiently rotated and the rotational position is not correct, the handle portion 72 protrudes as shown by a broken line B in FIG. It is clearly shown that the rotation position is not correct.

そして、このエアバッグ装置2は、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が作動し、図3に示すように、このインフレータから噴射されるガスがガス導入口からエアバッグ1に導入され、カバー部材43を押し開きながら膨張部を膨張させ、ルーフサイド部5から下方に迅速に突出する。そして、エアバッグ1が窓部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窓部を覆い、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 airbag device 2, the inflator is operated by the control device in the event of a side collision of the vehicle body 3, and as shown in FIG. 3, the gas injected from the inflator is sent from the gas inlet to the airbag 1. The expansion portion is expanded while pushing the cover member 43 open, and quickly protrudes downward from the roof side portion 5. Then, the airbag 1 is inflated and deployed downward along the window portion, that is, is deployed so as to cover the front and rear window portions in a curtain shape and to protect the heads, chests, etc. of the passengers in the front seat and the rear seat. .

一方、エアバッグ装置2の保守管理すなわちメンテナンスなどの際は、パッキング体17を取り外した状態で、モジュール84とルーフサイドレール15との隙間からハンドル部72を引き出すように、すなわち係止動作の際とは反対方向に向かい所定の位置(着脱位置)まで回動することにより、連結体22の連結台部76と取付受部25との係止が解除され、モジュール84を取り外すことができる。   On the other hand, during maintenance management of the airbag device 2, that is, maintenance, the handle body 72 is pulled out from the gap between the module 84 and the roof side rail 15 with the packing body 17 removed, that is, during the locking operation. By rotating in the opposite direction to a predetermined position (attachment / detachment position), the connection between the connection base portion 76 and the attachment receiving portion 25 of the connection body 22 is released, and the module 84 can be removed.

このように、本実施の形態によれば、車両である自動車の車室4の側面に沿って展開するカーテンエアバッグ装置について、エアバッグ1を取付体20に収納したモジュール84を構成し、このモジュール84を車体3のルーフサイドレール15に着脱するようにしたため、エアバッグ装置2の車体3への着脱動作を容易にし、エアバッグ装置2の設置に要するコスト及びメンテナンスなどのコストを容易に低減することができる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, the curtain airbag device that is deployed along the side surface of the vehicle compartment 4 that is a vehicle is configured with the module 84 in which the airbag 1 is housed in the mounting body 20. Since the module 84 is attached to and detached from the roof side rail 15 of the vehicle body 3, the operation of attaching and detaching the airbag device 2 to the vehicle body 3 is facilitated, and the cost required for installation of the airbag device 2 and the cost of maintenance and the like are easily reduced. can do.

また、取付体20の表面側は内装材を兼ねており、予めエアバッグ1を覆って表皮44が設けられているため、別個の内装材や表皮を配置する必要がなく、容易に外観を向上できる。   Further, the surface side of the mounting body 20 also serves as an interior material, and since the skin 44 is provided so as to cover the airbag 1 in advance, it is not necessary to arrange a separate interior material or skin, and the appearance can be easily improved. it can.

さらに、モジュール84すなわち取付体20及びエアバッグ1の車体3への取付構造については、取付体20に設けた取付部55に連結体22を回動可能に取り付け、ハンドル部72を回動して、この連結体22とともに取付体20を車体3側の取付受部25に係止して容易に取り付け、あるいは係止を解除して容易に取り外すことができる。このように、取付体20に設けた取付部55を利用して、エアバッグ装置2をルーフサイドレール15に着脱自在に取り付けできるため、車体3への取り付けを容易にして設置コストを低減できるのみならず、修理やメンテナンスのためにエアバッグ1を取り外す作業を短時間で効率良く行うことができ、修理やメンテナンスのコストを低減できる。   Further, regarding the mounting structure of the module 84, that is, the mounting body 20 and the airbag 1 to the vehicle body 3, the connecting body 22 is rotatably mounted on the mounting portion 55 provided on the mounting body 20, and the handle portion 72 is rotated. The attachment body 20 together with the connecting body 22 can be easily attached to the attachment receiving portion 25 on the vehicle body 3 side, and can be easily attached, or can be easily removed by releasing the engagement. Thus, since the airbag device 2 can be detachably attached to the roof side rail 15 by using the attachment portion 55 provided on the attachment body 20, the attachment to the vehicle body 3 can be facilitated and the installation cost can be reduced. In addition, the operation of removing the airbag 1 for repair and maintenance can be performed efficiently in a short time, and the cost of repair and maintenance can be reduced.

また、この着脱作業には専用の工具を用いる必要がなく手作業でも可能なため、例えば、ボルトをナットに螺合する構成に比べて、作業を容易にしてコストを低減できる。   Further, since this attachment / detachment work does not require the use of a dedicated tool and can be performed manually, for example, the work can be facilitated and the cost can be reduced as compared with a configuration in which a bolt is screwed onto a nut.

また、取付体20に連結体22を係合して組み合わせた状態では、連結体22の軸孔部74及び径大部受部79には取付体20の取付部55の取付軸部56及び径大部57が係合しており、連結体22はいわば中実となり、特に、連結台部76は変形しにくいブロック状となる。そして、エアバッグ装置2を固定した状態では、連結体22の連結台部76の長手方向が、取付受部25の取付受孔部27の長手方向と交差して配置され、ブロック状の連結台部76により連結体22は車体3の取付受部25に強固に係止して固定される。そこで、車両の側面衝突でエアバッグ1が膨張展開し、エアバッグ1の取付片部32に生じる大きな引張力が取付体20の取付部55から連結体22に加わっても、エアバッグ1を確実に車体3側に保持することができる。すなわち、連結体22すなわちハンドル部72を所定の位置に回動しない限り、エアバッグ1を確実に車体3側に保持することができる。   Further, in a state where the coupling body 22 is engaged and combined with the mounting body 20, the shaft hole portion 74 and the large-diameter receiving portion 79 of the coupling body 22 are attached to the mounting shaft portion 56 and the diameter of the mounting portion 55 of the mounting body 20. The large part 57 is engaged, and the connecting body 22 is so-called solid. In particular, the connecting base part 76 has a block shape that is not easily deformed. And in the state which fixed the airbag apparatus 2, the longitudinal direction of the connection stand part 76 of the connection body 22 cross | intersects the longitudinal direction of the attachment receiving hole part 27 of the attachment receiving part 25, and it is a block-shaped connection stand. The connecting body 22 is firmly locked and fixed to the attachment receiving portion 25 of the vehicle body 3 by the portion 76. Therefore, even if the airbag 1 is inflated and deployed due to a side collision of the vehicle and a large tensile force generated in the attachment piece 32 of the airbag 1 is applied from the attachment portion 55 of the attachment body 20 to the connecting body 22, the airbag 1 is surely secured. Can be held on the vehicle body 3 side. That is, the airbag 1 can be reliably held on the vehicle body 3 side unless the connecting body 22, that is, the handle portion 72 is rotated to a predetermined position.

さらに、上記のように、被取付部材である車体3側への取付体20の取付構造である取付部55及び連結体22に、エアバッグ1の取付片部32を係止することにより、エアバッグ1を取付体20に強固に固定できるとともに、構造を簡略化して製造コストを低減できる。   Further, as described above, the attachment piece portion 32 of the airbag 1 is engaged with the attachment portion 55 and the connecting body 22 which are attachment structures of the attachment body 20 to the vehicle body 3 side which is a member to be attached. The bag 1 can be firmly fixed to the attachment body 20, and the structure can be simplified to reduce the manufacturing cost.

なお、上記の実施の形態では、エアバッグ1は、取付片部32を連結体22に係止して取り付けたが、この構成に限られず、取付片部32を取付部55に係止しても良く、あるいは、取付体20の取付部55以外の位置に係止などして取り付けることもできる。   In the above embodiment, the airbag 1 is attached by locking the attachment piece 32 to the coupling body 22, but is not limited to this configuration, and the attachment piece 32 is locked to the attachment portion 55. Alternatively, it may be attached by being locked at a position other than the attachment portion 55 of the attachment body 20.

また、上記の実施の形態では、取付体20は、芯材42、カバー部材43、及び表皮44で構成したが、この構成に限られず、芯材42及びカバー部材43を別体ではなく略筒状に一体に形成し、エアバッグ1の展開する圧力で所定の位置で開口させることもできる。また、表皮44は設けないこともできる。   Further, in the above embodiment, the attachment body 20 is configured by the core material 42, the cover member 43, and the skin 44, but is not limited to this configuration, and the core material 42 and the cover member 43 are not separated but are substantially cylindrical. It is also possible to form a single body and open at a predetermined position by the pressure developed by the airbag 1. Further, the skin 44 can be omitted.

また、取付受部25は、自動車の車体3のルーフサイドレール15に設けたが、板状の部材に矩形状などの孔部が形成できる部材であれば、ピラー11,12,13など適宜の位置に設けることができる。   In addition, the attachment receiving portion 25 is provided on the roof side rail 15 of the vehicle body 3 of the automobile. However, if the plate-like member can form a hole such as a rectangular shape, the pillars 11, 12, 13 and the like are appropriately provided. Can be provided in position.
