さらに、このインナ部22の各蓋部32を、各屈曲ヒンジ部68によって収納部31の開口部40側へとそれぞれ反転屈曲させるように折り返し、各フック部71の爪部71aを各係止孔58に挿入係止するとともに各係止突部82の爪部82aをフランジ51,52の各係止孔56に挿入係止することで、各蓋部32を仮固定部78,83により収納部31側に仮固定する。この状態で、各凹部61に支持部65が嵌合してフランジ53,54上に重ねられるとともに各挿入開口72に各凸部59が嵌合して、フランジ51,52及び各凸部59の上面(溶着リブ57,60の上面)と、反転屈曲された各支持部65及び各インナ扉予定部66の上面(溶着リブ73,84の上面)とが略面一となってアウタ部21と溶着される溶着面を全体として構成するとともに、ヒンジ部67,67が収納部31(収納部本体33)内にて開口部40の前後の縁部に位置し、インナ扉予定部66,66が開口部40の上方を覆う。   Further, each lid portion 32 of the inner portion 22 is folded back so as to be inverted and bent toward the opening 40 side of the storage portion 31 by each bending hinge portion 68, and the claw portion 71a of each hook portion 71 is fitted to each locking hole. 58, and the claw portions 82a of the respective locking projections 82 are inserted and locked into the respective locking holes 56 of the flanges 51 and 52, whereby each lid portion 32 is accommodated by the temporary fixing portions 78 and 83. Temporarily fix to the 31 side. In this state, the support portion 65 is fitted to each recess 61 and overlapped on the flanges 53 and 54, and the projections 59 are fitted to the insertion openings 72, so that the flanges 51, 52 and the projections 59 The upper surface (the upper surfaces of the welding ribs 57 and 60) and the upper surfaces of the inverted and bent support portions 65 and the inner door planned portions 66 (the upper surfaces of the welding ribs 73 and 84) are substantially flush with the outer portion 21. The welding surface to be welded is configured as a whole, and the hinge portions 67 and 67 are positioned at the front and rear edges of the opening 40 in the storage portion 31 (storage portion main body 33), and the inner door planned portions 66 and 66 are provided. The upper part of the opening 40 is covered.

この後、このインナ部22に対して、予め別途成形したアウタ部21を重ねた状態で、振動溶着機を用いてアウタ部21に対してインナ部22を相対的に振動させる振動溶着により、溶着リブ57,60,73,84を突出方向すなわち上下方向に沿った寸法で溶融すると、インナ外郭部74がアウタ外郭部25に溶着して接合されて外郭部75を形成するとともに、インナ扉予定部66,66がアウタ扉予定部26,26に溶着して扉予定部81を形成する。このようにして、インフレータ15とエアバッグ16とを収納部31に収納保持して扉予定部81により覆ったエアバッグ装置10が完成する。   Thereafter, welding is performed by vibration welding that causes the inner part 22 to vibrate relatively with respect to the outer part 21 using a vibration welding machine in a state in which the outer part 21 separately formed in advance is overlapped with the inner part 22. When the ribs 57, 60, 73, 84 are melted in a dimension along the protruding direction, that is, the vertical direction, the inner outer portion 74 is welded and joined to the outer outer portion 25 to form the outer portion 75, and the inner door planned portion 66 and 66 are welded to the outer door planned portions 26 and 26 to form the planned door portion 81. In this way, the airbag device 10 in which the inflator 15 and the airbag 16 are stored and held in the storage portion 31 and covered with the planned door portion 81 is completed.

このエアバッグ装置10は、インフレータ15のコネクタ部に電線17を接続し、ケース体14を図示しないブラケットなどにより車体側に固定するとともに、アウタ部21の取付部27に取り付けたクリップ28を取付開口部29に挿入固定して、インストルメントパネル部13の内部に一体的に取り付ける。   The airbag device 10 connects the electric wire 17 to the connector portion of the inflator 15, fixes the case body 14 to the vehicle body side with a bracket or the like (not shown), and attaches the clip 28 attached to the attachment portion 27 of the outer portion 21 to the attachment opening It is inserted into and fixed to the part 29 and attached integrally to the inside of the instrument panel part 13.

そして、エアバッグ装置10が作動し、エアバッグ16にガスが流入して膨出すなわち膨張展開すると、エアバッグ16がケース体14内で膨張する膨張力により、インナ部22の前後のインナ扉予定部66,66を介して扉予定部81,81を押し上げる。そして、この力により、アウタ部21の第1テアライン24a及び第2テアライン24bが破断し、すなわちアウタ部21の弱部であるテアライン24が全長にわたり破断してアウタ扉予定部26,26がアウタ部21の他の部分から切り離されて扉部が形成され、ヒンジ部67が引き延ばされながら扉予定部81,81が扉部として回動すなわち展開し、エアバッグ16の膨出口を形成する。   When the airbag device 10 is activated and gas flows into the airbag 16 to inflate, that is, inflate and deploy, the inner doors before and after the inner portion 22 are planned due to the inflating force that the airbag 16 inflates in the case body 14. The planned door portions 81 and 81 are pushed up through the portions 66 and 66. Then, by this force, the first tear line 24a and the second tear line 24b of the outer portion 21 are broken, that is, the tear line 24, which is a weak portion of the outer portion 21, is broken over the entire length, and the outer door planned portions 26 and 26 become the outer portion. The door portion is formed by being separated from the other portions of the 21, and the planned door portions 81, 81 are rotated or deployed as the door portion while the hinge portion 67 is extended to form the inflation outlet of the airbag 16.

なお、エアバッグ16の展開時には、第1テアライン24aは全長に亘り破断するが、第2テアライン24bは、全長に亘って破断する場合のほか、両側の短手側のみが破断し、ヒンジ部67に沿った部分の一部あるいは全部は、破断せずに容易に屈曲するヒンジとして機能する仕様とすることもできる。   When the airbag 16 is deployed, the first tear line 24a is ruptured over its entire length, but the second tear line 24b is ruptured over its entire length, and only the short side on both sides is ruptured, and the hinge portion 67 A part or all of the portion along the line can be designed to function as a hinge that is easily bent without breaking.

このように、本実施の形態によれば、折り畳まれたエアバッグ16及びインフレータ15を内部に保持する収納部31の開口部40の前後の縁部から外方に蓋部32,32を延設したインナ部22を構成し、蓋部32,32を開口部40側へと反転屈曲して、その少なくとも一部が収納部31に収納されたエアバッグ16を覆う位置で蓋部32,32を収納部31に固定するとともに、少なくとも蓋部32,32の位置を覆ってアウタ部21を固着することにより、収納部と蓋部とを別個に設けて別途の工程を用いて一体化したり、別途の部材などを用いてエアバッグやインフレータを固定したりすることなく、インフレータ15及び折り畳まれたエアバッグ16を収納部31に収納し、かつ、蓋部32によって覆うケース体14を、軽量で安価に製造できる。   Thus, according to the present embodiment, the lid portions 32, 32 are extended outward from the front and rear edges of the opening portion 40 of the storage portion 31 that holds the folded airbag 16 and inflator 15 inside. The inner portion 22 is formed, the lid portions 32, 32 are inverted and bent toward the opening 40, and at least a part of the lid portions 32, 32 is covered with the airbag 16 stored in the storage portion 31. While fixing to the storage part 31 and covering at least the positions of the cover parts 32, 32, the outer part 21 is fixed, so that the storage part and the cover part are separately provided and integrated using a separate process, or separately The case body 14 that stores the inflator 15 and the folded airbag 16 in the storage part 31 and is covered with the lid part 32 without being fixed to the airbag or inflator by using any of the above members is lightweight and inexpensive. Can be manufactured.

具体的に、収納部31の開口部40の前後の縁部に連続するフランジ53,54に対して、屈曲ヒンジ部68,68を介して支持部65,65を変形可能に連結し、この支持部65,65に対して、ヒンジ部67,67を介してインナ扉予定部66,66を変形可能に連結して、屈曲ヒンジ部68,68での収納部31の開口部40側への蓋部32,32の反転屈曲により支持部65,65がフランジ53,54に重ねられ、ヒンジ部67,67が収納部31内に位置するとともにインナ扉予定部66,66が開口部40を覆うことで、インフレータ15及び折り畳まれたエアバッグ16を収納部31に収納して蓋部32,32により覆うケース体14を容易に構成でき、より安価に製造できる。   Specifically, the support portions 65 and 65 are deformably connected to the flanges 53 and 54 that are continuous with the front and rear edges of the opening 40 of the storage portion 31 via the bent hinge portions 68 and 68, and this support is provided. The inner door planned portions 66 and 66 are deformably connected to the portions 65 and 65 via the hinge portions 67 and 67, and the lid to the opening portion 40 side of the storage portion 31 at the bent hinge portions 68 and 68 is provided. The support portions 65 and 65 are overlapped with the flanges 53 and 54 by the reverse bending of the portions 32 and 32, the hinge portions 67 and 67 are located in the storage portion 31, and the planned inner door portions 66 and 66 cover the opening 40. Thus, the case body 14 in which the inflator 15 and the folded airbag 16 are stored in the storage portion 31 and covered with the lid portions 32 and 32 can be easily configured, and can be manufactured at a lower cost.

したがって、シェルパッキングエアバッグモジュールであるエアバッグ装置10を、より安価でかつ容易に実現できる。   Therefore, the airbag device 10 which is a shell packing airbag module can be realized more inexpensively and easily.

また、ヒンジ部67は、インナ部22の成形時には収納部31に対して側方に延出した位置に形成されるので、その形状がインナ部22を成形するための成形型構成上の制約を受けず、必要なヒンジ性能を容易に設定できる。   Further, since the hinge portion 67 is formed at a position extending laterally with respect to the storage portion 31 when the inner portion 22 is molded, the shape of the hinge portion 67 restricts the molding die configuration for molding the inner portion 22. The necessary hinge performance can be set easily without receiving it.

さらに、フランジ53,54に設けた各凸部59が、屈曲ヒンジ部68での収納部31の開口部40側への蓋部32の反転屈曲により、支持部65の各挿入開口72に挿入されてこの支持部65と略面一となるので、反転屈曲したフランジ53,54と支持部65とを容易に位置合わせできるとともに、アウタ部21を固着する面(アウタ部21の溶着面)を容易に形成できる。   Further, the convex portions 59 provided on the flanges 53 and 54 are inserted into the insertion openings 72 of the support portion 65 by the reverse bending of the lid portion 32 toward the opening portion 40 side of the storage portion 31 at the bending hinge portion 68. Since it is substantially flush with the support portion 65, the inverted and bent flanges 53 and 54 can be easily aligned with the support portion 65, and the surface to which the outer portion 21 is fixed (the welding surface of the outer portion 21) is easy. Can be formed.

また、インナ部22に設けた治具挿入孔42,43に治具J1,J2を挿入してアウタ部21を振動溶着する際にインナ扉予定部66,66を治具J1,J2によって支持することにより、アウタ部21とインナ部22とをより確実に密着させて容易かつ確実に固着できる。   Further, when inserting the jigs J1 and J2 into the jig insertion holes 42 and 43 provided in the inner part 22 and vibration welding the outer part 21, the inner door planned parts 66 and 66 are supported by the jigs J1 and J2. As a result, the outer part 21 and the inner part 22 can be more reliably brought into close contact with each other and can be fixed easily and reliably.

しかも、治具J1,J2を交差状(格子状)に組むことで、振動溶着時にアウタ部21側(上方)から加えられる圧力を効果的に分散して治具J1,J2の曲がり(撓み)をより確実に抑制できるとともに、蓋部32をより確実に支持できる。   Moreover, by assembling jigs J1 and J2 in a cross shape (lattice form), the pressure applied from the outer part 21 side (upper side) during vibration welding is effectively dispersed to bend (bend) the jigs J1 and J2. Can be more reliably suppressed, and the lid portion 32 can be more reliably supported.

さらに、相対的に距離が小さいために曲げモーメントが相対的に小さくなる前後方向には、相対的に細い治具J2を用い、相対的に距離が大きいために曲げモーメントが相対的に大きくなる左右方向には、相対的に太く強度が大きい治具J1を用いることで、治具J1,J2の曲げに対する強度を確保できるとともに、ヒンジ部67の切欠開口86に挿通される治具J2が相対的に細いものとなるため、この切欠開口86の開口面積を抑制でき、ヒンジ部67の強度を確保できる。   Furthermore, a relatively thin jig J2 is used in the front-rear direction in which the bending moment is relatively small because the distance is relatively small, and the bending moment is relatively large because the distance is relatively large. By using a relatively thick and strong jig J1 in the direction, it is possible to secure the strength against bending of the jigs J1 and J2, and the jig J2 inserted through the notch opening 86 of the hinge portion 67 is relatively Therefore, the opening area of the notch opening 86 can be suppressed, and the strength of the hinge portion 67 can be secured.

そして、蓋部32を収納部31の開口部40側へと反転屈曲した状態で仮固定部78,83によって蓋部32を収納部31に仮固定することで、アウタ部21をインナ部22に固着(振動溶着)する際に蓋部32を押さえておく必要がなく、作業性が良好で、製造性をより向上できる。   Then, by temporarily fixing the lid portion 32 to the storage portion 31 by the temporary fixing portions 78 and 83 in a state where the lid portion 32 is inverted and bent toward the opening 40 side of the storage portion 31, the outer portion 21 is attached to the inner portion 22. When fixing (vibration welding), it is not necessary to hold the lid portion 32, workability is good, and manufacturability can be further improved.

次に、第2の実施の形態を図5ないし図7を参照して説明する。なお、上記の第1の実施の形態と同様の構成及び作用については、同一符号を付してその説明を省略する。   Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, about the structure and effect | action similar to said 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

本実施の形態は、インナ部22の収納部31の前側面部37が蓋部32(扉予定部81)、アウタ部21及び底面部39に対して鋭角状に傾斜しており、インナ部22が収納部31の側面部35,36及び底面部39のそれぞれの前側の位置で、前側面部37を含む側(一の部分)である前側部87と、前側面部37を含まない側(他の部分)である後側部88とに分割され、かつ、これら前側部87と後側部88とが、回動ヒンジ部89により回動可能に一体に連結されているものである。   In the present embodiment, the front side surface portion 37 of the storage portion 31 of the inner portion 22 is inclined at an acute angle with respect to the lid portion 32 (predetermined door portion 81), the outer portion 21 and the bottom surface portion 39. Is a front side portion 87 that is a side (one portion) including the front side surface portion 37 and a side that does not include the front side surface portion 37 at the positions on the front side of the side surface portions 35 and 36 and the bottom surface portion 39 of the storage portion 31 ( It is divided into a rear side portion 88 that is another portion), and the front side portion 87 and the rear side portion 88 are integrally connected by a turning hinge portion 89 so as to be rotatable.

前側面部37は、蓋部32(扉予定部81)及びアウタ部21に対して、回動ヒンジ部89による回動の一方向である前方に向けて下側に鋭角状に傾斜しており、底面部39の前端部に対して、回動ヒンジ部89による回動の他方向である後方に向けて上側に鋭角状に傾斜している。   The front side surface portion 37 is inclined acutely downward with respect to the lid portion 32 (predetermined door portion 81) and the outer portion 21 toward the front, which is one direction of rotation by the rotation hinge portion 89. The upper end of the bottom surface 39 is inclined at an acute angle upward toward the rear, which is the other direction of rotation by the rotation hinge 89.

また、前側部87と後側部88とは、保持部45よりも前方すなわち前側面部37寄りの位置で、蓋部32に対して直角以下の角度θに沿う仮想的な平面Pにより分割されている。したがって、前側部87は、前側面部37、側面部35,36の平面Pの一側である前側部分、底面部39の前側部分、前側の蓋部32及びフランジ51,52の前側部分を含んでおり、後側部88は、後側面部38、側面部35,36の平面Pの他側である後側部分、底面部39の保持部45を含む後側部分、後側の蓋部32及びフランジ51,52の後側部分を含んでいる。   Further, the front side portion 87 and the rear side portion 88 are divided by a virtual plane P along the angle θ that is less than or equal to the right angle with respect to the lid portion 32 at a position closer to the front side than the holding portion 45, that is, closer to the front side portion 37. ing. Accordingly, the front side portion 87 includes a front side portion 37, a front side portion that is one side of the plane P of the side surface portions 35, 36, a front side portion of the bottom surface portion 39, a front side lid portion 32, and front side portions of the flanges 51, 52. The rear side portion 88 includes a rear side portion 38, a rear side portion that is the other side of the plane P of the side surface portions 35, 36, a rear side portion including the holding portion 45 of the bottom surface portion 39, and a rear lid portion 32. And rear portions of the flanges 51, 52.

さらに、前側部87及び後側部88には、互いに連結される連結固定部91,92がそれぞれ設けられている。前側部87に設けられた連結固定部91は、例えばこの前側部87における側面部35,36の前端部、すなわち側面部35,36の後側部88に対向する位置(平面Pにより分割された位置)に形成されており、後側部88に設けられた連結固定部92は、例えばこの後側部87における側面部35,36の後端部、すなわち側面部35,36の前側部87に対向する位置(平面Pにより分割された位置)に形成されている。これら連結固定部91,92は、回動ヒンジ部89による回動方向である前後方向に沿って一方が他方に圧入されて互いに固定されるようになっている。   Further, the front side portion 87 and the rear side portion 88 are provided with connection fixing portions 91 and 92 that are connected to each other. The connecting and fixing portion 91 provided on the front side portion 87 is, for example, a position facing the front end portion of the side surface portions 35 and 36 in the front side portion 87, that is, the rear side portion 88 of the side surface portions 35 and 36 (divided by the plane P). The connecting and fixing portion 92 provided in the rear side portion 88 is formed on the rear end portion of the side surface portions 35 and 36 in the rear side portion 87, that is, on the front side portion 87 of the side surface portions 35 and 36, for example. They are formed at opposing positions (positions divided by the plane P). One of these connection fixing portions 91 and 92 is press-fitted into the other along the front-rear direction, which is the rotation direction by the rotation hinge portion 89, and is fixed to each other.

なお、インナ部22のその他の構造は、上記の第1の実施の形態と同様である。   The other structure of the inner portion 22 is the same as that of the first embodiment.

そして、インナ部22の成形の際には、蓋部32の厚み方向である上下方向を型開方向、すなわち抜き方向(矢印B方向)として成形される。このとき、上記のように、インナ部22を、前側面部37を含む前側部87と、前側面部37を含まない後側部88とを回動ヒンジ部89によって前後方向に回動可能に連結する形状とすることにより、前側部87を後側部88に対して予め回動ヒンジ部89により回動させて前側面部37の角度がインナ部22の抜き方向(矢印B方向)に対してアンダカットとならないように成形型D1,D2を設計でき(図7)、例えばアンダカットに対応した可動駒などの構成を有する高価な成形型を用いる必要がなく、インナ部22及びケース体14をより安価に製造できる。そして、この成形型D1,D2を用いて成形したインナ部22は、回動ヒンジ部89により前側部87を後側部88側へと回動させて連結固定部91,92にて互いに固定することで、上記の第1の実施の形態と同様のインナ部22となる。   When the inner portion 22 is formed, the vertical direction, which is the thickness direction of the lid portion 32, is formed as the mold opening direction, that is, the drawing direction (arrow B direction). At this time, as described above, the inner part 22 can be rotated in the front-rear direction by the rotating hinge part 89 between the front side part 87 including the front side part 37 and the rear side part 88 not including the front side part 37. By adopting the connecting shape, the front side portion 87 is rotated in advance by the rotation hinge portion 89 with respect to the rear side portion 88, and the angle of the front side surface portion 37 is relative to the direction in which the inner portion 22 is pulled (arrow B direction). Thus, the molds D1 and D2 can be designed so as not to be undercut (FIG. 7). For example, it is not necessary to use an expensive mold having a structure such as a movable piece corresponding to undercut, and the inner portion 22 and the case body 14 can be used. Can be manufactured at a lower cost. The inner part 22 molded using the molding dies D1 and D2 is fixed to each other by the connecting and fixing parts 91 and 92 by rotating the front side part 87 toward the rear side part 88 by the rotating hinge part 89. Thus, the inner portion 22 is the same as that in the first embodiment.

特に、このように前側面部37が蓋部32(扉予定部81)及びアウタ部21に対して前方下側に向けて鋭角状に傾斜したエアバッグ装置10は、インストルメントパネル部13の上部のフロントウィンドウガラスに対向する位置に搭載される、いわゆるトップマウントタイプのエアバッグ装置として好適に用いることができる。   In particular, the airbag device 10 in which the front side surface portion 37 is inclined at an acute angle toward the front lower side with respect to the lid portion 32 (predetermined door portion 81) and the outer portion 21 as described above is an upper portion of the instrument panel portion 13. It can be suitably used as a so-called top mount type airbag device mounted at a position facing the front window glass.

なお、上記の各実施の形態において、蓋部32は、エアバッグ装置10を搭載する車両の形状などに応じて、インナ扉予定部66を、開口部40を覆う面積(開口部40と略等しい面積)に形成して、蓋部32を収納部31に対して蓋部32を1つのみ設けるようにしてもよい。   In each of the above-described embodiments, the lid portion 32 covers the inner door planned portion 66 with an area covering the opening 40 (substantially equal to the opening 40) according to the shape of the vehicle on which the airbag device 10 is mounted. In this case, only one lid portion 32 may be provided for the storage portion 31.

次に、第3の実施の形態を図8ないし図10を参照して説明する。なお、上記の各実施の形態と同様の構成及び作用については、同一符号を付してその説明を省略する。   Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, about the structure and effect | action similar to said each embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

本実施の形態のエアバッグ装置10は、インフレータ15が略円柱状に形成されているとともに、ケース体14の扉予定部81が1つのみの、いわばシングルフラップとなっているものである。   In the airbag device 10 of the present embodiment, the inflator 15 is formed in a substantially columnar shape, and the case body 14 has only one planned door portion 81, which is a single flap.

アウタ部21は、テアライン24が、第1テアライン24aと、この第1テアライン24aの両端部から前方に向けて直線状に前端部まで延びる第2テアライン24b,24bとによりコ字状に形成されており、このテアライン24によって囲まれた部分が1つのアウタ扉予定部26となり、このテアライン24の外方がアウタ外郭部25となっている。   The outer portion 21 has a tear line 24 formed in a U shape by a first tear line 24a and second tear lines 24b and 24b extending linearly from both ends of the first tear line 24a to the front end. A portion surrounded by the tear line 24 is one outer door planned portion 26, and the outer side of the tear line 24 is an outer outer portion 25.

また、インナ部22は、収納部31のフランジ部34が、左側フランジ51、右側フランジ52及び後側フランジ54によりコ字状に形成され、1つの蓋部32が、収納部本体33の前側面部37の上端部の位置に、ヒンジ部67を介して一体に連結されている。   Further, the inner portion 22 has a flange portion 34 of the storage portion 31 formed in a U-shape by the left side flange 51, the right side flange 52 and the rear side flange 54, and one lid portion 32 is formed on the front side surface of the storage portion main body 33. The upper end portion of the portion 37 is integrally connected via a hinge portion 67.

フランジ51,52,54は、互いに一体に連続しており、アウタ部21に対向する上面が互いに略面一となっている。そして、これらフランジ51,52,54の上面には、アウタ部21の溶着前(インナ部22の成形時)において、振動溶着用の溶着リブ95が格子状に形成されている。さらに、後側フランジ54の左右方向の中央部には、開口部40の後縁部、すなわち後側面部38の上端部の位置に、蓋部32を仮固定するための係止孔96が開口されている。   The flanges 51, 52, and 54 are integrally continuous with each other, and the upper surfaces facing the outer portion 21 are substantially flush with each other. On the upper surfaces of the flanges 51, 52, 54, welding ribs 95 for vibration welding are formed in a lattice shape before the outer portion 21 is welded (when the inner portion 22 is molded). Further, a locking hole 96 for temporarily fixing the lid 32 is opened at the center of the rear flange 54 in the left-right direction at the rear edge of the opening 40, that is, at the upper end of the rear side 38.

Then, by the locking projection 106 and the locking hole 96, the lid 32 is reversed and bent to the opening 40 side of the storage portion 31 at the position of the front edge of the opening 40. A temporary fixing portion 107 that is temporarily fixed to the storage portion 31 is configured. Further, on the planned inner door portion 66, welding ribs 109 for vibration welding are formed in a lattice shape before the outer portion 21 is welded (when the inner portion 22 is molded). The welding rib 109 is formed on the back side of the inner door planned portion 66 when the inner portion 22 is molded, that is, on the side opposite to the outer portion 21 (anti-outer door planned portion 26), and the lid portion 32 is formed on the front edge of the opening 40. In the state of being inverted and bent toward the opening 40 side of the storage part 31 at the position of the part, it becomes substantially flush with the welding ribs 95 of the flanges 51, 52, 54, and on the back side of the outer door planned part 26 of the outer part 21 It is designed to be fixed.

ヒンジ部67は、U字状に湾曲して開口部40の前縁部、すなわち前側面部37の上端部(収納部31(収納部本体33))とインナ扉予定部66とを可撓的に連結している。また、このヒンジ部67は、インナ部22の成形時には上方に膨出し、開口部40の前縁部の位置(収納部31側の後縁部67a)で蓋部32(インナ扉予定部66)を収納部31(開口部40)側に反転屈曲した状態では、開口部40に挿入されて収納部31(収納部本体33)内にて側面部37,38の上端部近傍に位置し、下方すなわち収納されたエアバッグ16側に膨出するように湾曲する。さらに、このヒンジ部67は、開口部40の前縁部、すなわち前側面部37の上端部に沿って、インナ扉予定部66の両側間に亘って連続している。   The hinge portion 67 is curved in a U shape to flexibly connect the front edge portion of the opening 40, that is, the upper end portion of the front side surface portion 37 (the storage portion 31 (storage portion main body 33)) and the planned inner door portion 66. It is linked to. Further, the hinge portion 67 bulges upward when the inner portion 22 is molded, and the lid portion 32 (the planned inner door portion 66) at the position of the front edge portion of the opening 40 (the rear edge portion 67a on the storage portion 31 side). In the state of being inverted and bent to the storage portion 31 (opening portion 40) side, it is inserted into the opening portion 40 and positioned in the storage portion 31 (storage portion main body 33) in the vicinity of the upper ends of the side surface portions 37 and 38, and below That is, it is curved so as to bulge toward the stored airbag 16 side. Further, the hinge portion 67 is continuous between both sides of the inner door planned portion 66 along the front edge portion of the opening portion 40, that is, the upper end portion of the front side surface portion 37.

そして、ケース体14を組み立てる際には、まず、予め成形したインナ部22に対して、挿通開口103,103間に亘ってインフレータ15を保持部101に挿入して押さえ部104,104により両端部を上方から押さえるとともに、所定形状に折り畳んだエアバッグ16を底面部39に固定して、これらインフレータ15及びエアバッグ16を収納部31(収納部本体33)に収納する。   When assembling the case body 14, first, the inflator 15 is inserted into the holding portion 101 between the insertion openings 103 and 103 with respect to the preformed inner portion 22, and both end portions are held by the holding portions 104 and 104. The airbag 16 folded into a predetermined shape is fixed to the bottom surface portion 39, and the inflator 15 and the airbag 16 are stored in the storage portion 31 (storage portion main body 33).

次いで、このインナ部22の治具挿入孔97,97に対して、治具J3を収納部31(収納部本体33)の外部から挿通し、さらに各治具挿入孔98に対して、それぞれ治具J4を収納部31(収納部本体33)の外部から挿入して、これら治具J4の先端の突起部J4aを治具J3の係止開口J3aにそれぞれ挿入係止して、治具J3,J4を「Π」字状に組む。   Next, the jig J3 is inserted into the jig insertion holes 97, 97 of the inner portion 22 from the outside of the storage portion 31 (storage portion main body 33), and further, the jig insertion holes 98 are respectively cured. J4 is inserted from the outside of the storage unit 31 (storage unit main body 33), and the protrusion J4a at the tip of the jig J4 is inserted and locked into the locking opening J3a of the jig J3. Assemble J4 in a “Π” shape.

さらに、このインナ部22の蓋部32を、ヒンジ部67の後縁部67aの位置で収納部31の開口部40側へと反転屈曲させるように折り返し、係止突部106の爪部106aを係止孔96に挿入係止することで、蓋部32を仮固定部107により収納部31側に仮固定する。この状態で、フランジ51,52,54の上面(溶着リブ95の上面)と、反転屈曲されたインナ扉予定部66の上面(溶着リブ109の上面)とが略面一となってアウタ部21と溶着される溶着面を全体として構成するとともに、ヒンジ部67が収納部31(収納部本体33)内にて開口部40の前縁部に位置し、インナ扉予定部66が開口部40の上方を覆う。 Further, the lid portion 32 of the inner portion 22 is folded back and bent toward the opening 40 side of the storage portion 31 at the position of the rear edge portion 67a of the hinge portion 67, and the claw portion 106a of the locking projection 106 is By inserting and locking in the locking hole 96, the lid portion 32 is temporarily fixed to the storage portion 31 side by the temporary fixing portion 107. In this state, the upper surface of the flanges 51, 52, 54 (the upper surface of the welding rib 95) and the upper surface of the inverted inner door planned portion 66 (the upper surface of the welding rib 109) are substantially flush with each other. The hinge surface 67 is positioned at the front edge of the opening 40 in the storage portion 31 (storage portion main body 33 ), and the inner door planned portion 66 is the opening portion 40 of the opening 40. Cover the top.

この後、このインナ部22に対して、予め別途成形したアウタ部21を重ねた状態で、振動溶着機を用いてアウタ部21に対してインナ部22を相対的に振動させる振動溶着により、溶着リブ95,109を突出方向すなわち上下方向に沿った寸法で溶融すると、インナ外郭部74がアウタ外郭部25に溶着して接合されて外郭部75を形成するとともに、インナ扉予定部66がアウタ扉予定部26に溶着して扉予定部81を形成する。このようにして、インフレータ15とエアバッグ16とを収納部31に収納保持して扉予定部81により覆ったエアバッグ装置10が完成する。   Thereafter, welding is performed by vibration welding that causes the inner part 22 to vibrate relatively with respect to the outer part 21 using a vibration welding machine in a state in which the outer part 21 separately formed in advance is overlapped with the inner part 22. When the ribs 95 and 109 are melted in a dimension along the protruding direction, that is, the vertical direction, the inner outer portion 74 is welded and joined to the outer outer portion 25 to form the outer portion 75, and the inner door planned portion 66 is the outer door. A planned door portion 81 is formed by welding to the planned portion 26. In this way, the airbag device 10 in which the inflator 15 and the airbag 16 are stored and held in the storage portion 31 and covered with the planned door portion 81 is completed.

そして、上記の各実施の形態と同様にインストルメントパネル部13に取り付けたエアバッグ装置10が作動し、エアバッグ16にガスが流入して膨出すなわち膨張展開すると、エアバッグ16がケース体14内で膨張する膨張力により、インナ部22の前後のインナ扉予定部66を介して扉予定部81を押し上げる。そして、この力により、アウタ部21の第1テアライン24a及び第2テアライン24bが破断し、すなわちアウタ部21の弱部であるテアライン24が全長にわたり破断してアウタ扉予定部26がアウタ部21の他の部分から切り離されて扉部が形成され、ヒンジ部67が引き延ばされながら扉予定部81が扉部として回動すなわち展開し、エアバッグ16の膨出口を形成する。   Then, the airbag device 10 attached to the instrument panel portion 13 operates in the same manner as in each of the above embodiments, and when the gas flows into the airbag 16 and bulges, that is, inflates and deploys, the airbag 16 becomes the case body 14. Due to the expansion force expanding inside, the planned door portion 81 is pushed up via the planned inner door portions 66 before and after the inner portion 22. Then, by this force, the first tear line 24a and the second tear line 24b of the outer portion 21 are broken, that is, the tear line 24 that is a weak portion of the outer portion 21 is broken over the entire length, and the outer door planned portion 26 is A door portion is formed by being separated from other portions, and the planned door portion 81 rotates or expands as a door portion while the hinge portion 67 is extended, thereby forming an inflation outlet of the airbag 16.

このように、収納部31の開口部40の前縁部に連続するヒンジ部67を介してインナ扉予定部66を収納部31と変形可能に連結し、開口部40の前縁部の位置(ヒンジ部67の後縁部67a)での収納部31の開口部40側への反転屈曲によりヒンジ部67が収納部31内に位置するとともにインナ扉予定部66が開口部40を覆うことで、インフレータ15及び折り畳まれたエアバッグ16を収納部31に収納して蓋部32により覆うケース体14を、より簡素化して構成でき、より安価に製造できる。したがって、シェルパッキングエアバッグモジュールであるエアバッグ装置10を、より安価でかつ容易に実現できる。   In this manner, the inner door planned portion 66 is deformably connected to the storage portion 31 via the hinge portion 67 continuous with the front edge portion of the opening portion 40 of the storage portion 31, and the position of the front edge portion of the opening portion 40 ( The hinge portion 67 is positioned inside the storage portion 31 by the reverse bending of the storage portion 31 toward the opening portion 40 at the rear edge portion 67a) of the hinge portion 67, and the planned inner door portion 66 covers the opening portion 40. The case body 14 in which the inflator 15 and the folded airbag 16 are accommodated in the accommodating portion 31 and covered with the lid portion 32 can be more simplified and manufactured at a lower cost. Therefore, the airbag device 10 which is a shell packing airbag module can be realized more inexpensively and easily.

特に、蓋部32を収納部31の開口部40の1つの縁部(前縁部)にのみ設けることで、いわゆるシングルフラップタイプのエアバッグ装置として好適に用いることができる。   In particular, by providing the lid 32 only on one edge (front edge) of the opening 40 of the storage part 31, it can be suitably used as a so-called single flap type airbag device.

また、インナ部22に設けた治具挿入孔97,98に治具J3,J4を挿入してアウタ部21を振動溶着する際にインナ扉予定部66を治具J3,J4によって支持することにより、アウタ部21とインナ部22とをより確実に密着させて容易かつ確実に固着できる。   Further, when the jigs J3 and J4 are inserted into the jig insertion holes 97 and 98 provided in the inner part 22 and the outer part 21 is vibration welded, the inner door planned part 66 is supported by the jigs J3 and J4. In addition, the outer part 21 and the inner part 22 can be more securely brought into close contact with each other and can be fixed easily and reliably.

しかも、治具J3,J4を交差状に組むことで、振動溶着時にアウタ部21側(上方)から加えられる圧力を効果的に分散して治具J3,J4の曲がり(撓み)をより確実に抑制できるとともに、蓋部32をより確実に支持できる。   In addition, by assembling the jigs J3 and J4 in a cross shape, the pressure applied from the outer part 21 side (above) during vibration welding is effectively dispersed, and the bending (deflection) of the jigs J3 and J4 is more reliably performed. While being able to suppress, the cover part 32 can be supported more reliably.

さらに、治具J3に対して、反蓋部32側である後側からのみ治具J4を組むので、ヒンジ部67に治具を挿通するための切欠開口を設ける必要がなく、ヒンジ部67を所望の強度により容易に設定できる。   Furthermore, since the jig J4 is assembled only from the rear side that is the side opposite to the anti-lid portion 32 with respect to the jig J3, it is not necessary to provide a notch opening for inserting the jig into the hinge portion 67, and the hinge portion 67 It can be easily set according to the desired strength.

そして、蓋部32を収納部31の開口部40側へと反転屈曲した状態で仮固定部107によって蓋部32を収納部31に仮固定することで、アウタ部21をインナ部22に固着(振動溶着)する際に蓋部32を押さえておく必要がなく、作業性が良好で、製造性をより向上できる。   The outer portion 21 is fixed to the inner portion 22 by temporarily fixing the lid portion 32 to the storage portion 31 by the temporary fixing portion 107 in a state where the lid portion 32 is inverted and bent toward the opening portion 40 side of the storage portion 31 ( It is not necessary to hold the lid portion 32 during vibration welding), workability is good, and manufacturability can be further improved.

なお、上記の第3の実施の形態において、蓋部32は、収納部31に対して前後一対設けてもよい。   In the third embodiment, a pair of front and rear cover portions 32 may be provided with respect to the storage portion 31.

また、上記の各実施の形態において、ケース体14は、アウタ部21の表面側にさらに表皮体を備えていてもよい。   Further, in each of the above embodiments, the case body 14 may further include a skin body on the surface side of the outer portion 21.

さらに、エアバッグ装置10は、助手席用だけでなく、例えば運転席用など、任意のエアバッグ装置として用いることができる。   Furthermore, the airbag device 10 can be used not only as a passenger seat but also as an arbitrary airbag device such as a driver seat.

本発明は、例えば助手席乗員用のインストルメントパネル部に備えるエアバッグとして好適に用いることができる。   The present invention can be suitably used, for example, as an airbag provided in an instrument panel for a passenger on the passenger seat.
