JPH04176728A - Windshield safety system for front falling and opening type front - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the face part of a driver and the like by opening a front windshield fixed on a vehicle window frame forewards by the use of reaction upon colliding. CONSTITUTION:On the whole circumference of a front windshield 1, a groove part of a rubber magnetic packing member 2 is fitted to stick it thereto, while the shape of a vehicle body front frame 3 is formed to have a protruding part for mating therewith so that the packing 2 can be fixed thereto stably to prevent wind or rain from entering. These are fixed by means of a fixing metal unit and assembled in an open bearing base 6 in which a shaft 7 is inserted, so that mounting thereof to a vehicle body is finished. In the case of a colliding accident, a front portion is opened as this system works instantaneously owing to reaction upon colliding, without generation of nonoperation or mis-operation.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] With the slight increase in the number of automobiles in recent years, the number of fatal accidents has soared, and safety measures are urgently needed, such as mandatory wearing of seat belts, improvements to front and rear bumpers, and advance detection devices using various sensors. There are also airbags that use chemicals, compressed air, etc. inside the steering wheel and on the seats, but these are expensive equipment and may not work in the event of an accident, or may not malfunction, resulting in a fatal accident. Focusing on the fact that many people die from hitting their faces and heads into windshields, they researched and prototyped various safety devices, but it was impossible to put this sensing device into practical use due to the excessive equipment costs. However, with this simple idea, the refrigerator door uses rubber magnet gaskets on the contact surface, has no mechanical mechanism, just a handle, and can be easily opened and closed without any operation. Inspired by blocking the inflow and outflow of outside air, the 11th and 2nd factors were designed to open the front glass, which is currently fixed to the vehicle window frame, forward due to the reaction force at the time of a collision, to prevent damage to the fIA head. As you can see, the windshield was made to open in the previous generation.To explain in more detail, in this mechanism, the windshield (1) is not fixed individually, but is opened forward, and the entire windshield (1) is opened. The rubber magnet packing (2), which is molded into a special shape such as Furthermore, they are assembled with the mounting bracket (5) so that they can be installed and released individually, and then attached to the open bearing stand (6).
It has a simple structure in which two parts (7) are assembled, two parts (7) are inserted, and the heat shield is attached to the car body as shown in Figure 5.

Due to the installation of the front windshield opening safety mechanism of the present invention, the wind pressure main holder from the front will never open spontaneously while driving, but in the event of a collision, it will be prevented. The purpose of this device, which has no mechanical mechanism, is to operate instantly due to impact reaction without operating or malfunctioning, opening the front part and protecting the occupant from wrinkles.
