3号公報参照)。
<Prior Art> A conventional gas bag pad (hereinafter referred to as a pad) is made of a soft synthetic resin such as urethane so that it can be broken by the pressure when the gas bag is expanded, and it is also possible to break it at a predetermined portion. It had a thin portion for breaking (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 50-127336 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 55-11064).
(See Japanese Patent Publication No. 3).

そして、その薄肉部の厚さは一般に1.0〜0.5mmで
一定であつた。
The thickness of the thin portion was generally 1.0 to 0.5 mm and was constant.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> In a conventional pad of this type, it is necessary to break at a thin portion at a predetermined portion when the gas bag is inflated, and therefore it is desirable to further reduce the thickness of the thin portion.

However, if the conventional thin portion is further thinned, it may break when the pad is pressed by a hand or the like, other than when the gas bag is expanded, and the durability of the pad is deteriorated. In addition, when a pad with a thinner portion is formed, the material flow in the thinner portion deteriorates, and defective products are likely to occur.

Moreover, in the conventional pad of this type, the thickness of the general portion other than the thin portion is about 4.0 to 7.0 mm, and if the width of the thin portion is too narrow, the material flow also deteriorates in the thin portion. However, since the molding failure occurs, the width of the thin wall portion cannot be reduced so much that the width of the thin wall portion needs to be at least about 2 mm.

Therefore, when the gas bag ruptures the thin pad portion during expansion of the gas bag, the rupture lines L meander randomly within a width of about 2 mm of the thin wall portion, as shown in FIG. The difference is that the deployment load of the gas bag when the gas bag ruptures the thin portion of the pad and greatly expands outside the pad during expansion of the gas bag may vary from pad to pad.

This invention is to explain the above-mentioned problem, and without causing deterioration of durability and increase of defective products, it is possible to reliably break in the thin portion at the time of gas bag expansion, and it is possible to regulate that the breaking line meanders. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pad capable of minimizing the variation in the gas bag deployment load for each pad.

<Means for Solving Problems> In the pad according to the present invention, a thin portion for breaking is formed in advance so that it can be broken at a predetermined portion when the gas bag is inflated, and the pad for the gas bag is made of a soft synthetic resin. The above-mentioned problem is solved by forming the second thin portion by a recess formed in the portion intermittently along the forming direction of the thin portion and narrower than the width of the thin portion. .

<Operation and Effect of the Invention> In the pad according to the present invention, the second thin-walled portion is thinner than the general thin-walled portion other than the second thin-walled portion in the thin-walled portion, and much thinner than the general thin-walled portion other than the thin-walled portion. Therefore, when the gas bag expands, a break line runs and breaks so as to connect the second thin portion in the thin portion.

Therefore, when the gas bag expands, the second thin-walled portion formed by the concave portion narrower than the width of the thin-walled portion is surely broken in the thin-walled portion, and the breaking line is regulated to meander in the thin-walled portion. Since they are formed by being tied together, they are substantially the same for each pad, and the variation in the gas bag deployment load for each pad can be minimized.

Further, the second thin portion is intermittently formed in the thin portion, and in the thin portion, a thinner portion is not continuously formed along the forming direction thereof, and a general thin portion other than the second thin portion is not formed. Since the part remains intermittently, this general thin part can prevent the thin part of the pad from breaking except when the gas bag is expanded, and can prevent the deterioration of the material flow at the time of molding, and thus the defective product. It does not increase the occurrence.

Therefore, in the pad according to the present invention, when the gas bag is expanded without inviting a decrease in durability or an increase in defective products,
Since it is possible to reliably break in the thin portion and to prevent the breaking line from meandering, it is possible to minimize the variation in the gas bag deployment load for each pad.
