【発明の詳細な説明】 ＜産業上の利用分野＞ この発明は、自動車等の乗員の保護のために所定時膨張
するガスバツグを平常時被覆収納しているガスバツグ用
パツドに関する。Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pad for a gas bag that normally covers and stores a gas bag that expands at a predetermined time for protecting an occupant of an automobile or the like.

昭５０−１２７３３６号公報、特開昭５５−１１０６４
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.
＜発明が解決しようとする問題点＞ 従来のこの種のパツドでは、ガスバツグ膨張時に所定部
位の薄肉部で破断する必要があることから、この薄肉部
は肉厚をさらに薄くすることが望ましい。<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.
しかし、従来の薄肉部をさらに薄くすると、ガスバツグ
膨張時以外の、例えば、パツドが手等で押圧される際等
に破断してしまう場合が生じ、パツドの耐久性を低下さ
せてしまう。また、薄肉部をさらに薄くしたパツドを成
形する場合には、その薄肉部での材料流れが悪化するこ
とから、不良品が生じ易くなつてしまう。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.
また、従来のこの種のパツドでは、薄肉部以外の一般部
の厚さは４．０〜７．０mm程度であり、薄肉部の幅をあ
まり狭くすると、やはりその薄肉部で材料流れが悪くな
り、成形不良を発生することとなるため、薄肉部の幅を
あまり狭くすることができず、薄肉部の幅を少なくとも
２mm程度必要としていた。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.
そのため、ガスバツグ膨張時にガスバツグがパツド薄肉
部を破断する際、第１１図に示すよう、その破断線Ｌは

スバツグ膨張時におけるガスバツグがパツド薄肉部を破

開荷重が、パツド毎にバラツク虞れが考えられる。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.

ることを目的とする。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.

る。<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. .
＜発明の作用・効果＞ この発明に係るパツドでは、第２の薄肉部が、薄肉部内
におけるこの第２薄肉部以外の一般薄肉部より薄く、か
つ、薄肉部以外の一般部よりはるかに薄いことから、ガ
スバツグ膨張時、薄肉部内における第２薄肉部を結ぶよ
うに破断線が走つて破断される。<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.
そのため、ガスバツグ膨張時、確実に薄肉部内で破断さ
れ、しかも、その破断線は薄肉部内で蛇行が規制される
よう、薄肉部の幅より幅狭の凹部によつて構成された第
２薄肉部を結んで形成されることから、パツド毎に略一
致することとなり、パツド毎のガスバツグ展開荷重のバ
ラツキを極力少なくすることができる。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.
また、第２薄肉部が薄肉部内で断続的に形成されてお
り、薄肉部内では、その形成方向に沿つてさらに薄い部

破断を防止することができるとともに、成形時における
材料流れの悪化を防止でき、不良品発生の増加を招くこ
とはない。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.

不良品発生の増加を招くことなく、ガスバツグ膨張時、
確実に薄肉部内で破断でき、かつその破断線が蛇行する
ことを規制できることから、パツド毎のガスバツグ展開
荷重のバラツキを極力少なくすることができる。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.

部２２を結ぶように破断線が走つて破断される。After the pad 11 is attached to the upper position of the boss B through the backup cup plate 14 and the holder 15, when the gas bag 16 expands, the second thin portion 22 in the thin portion 21 is replaced by the general thin portion. Thinner than 23 and general part 2
Since it is much thinner than 0, the fracture line runs and is fractured so as to connect the second thin portion 22 in the thin portion 21.

なつて、パツド１１毎のガスバツグ展開荷重のバラツキ
を略無くすことができる。Therefore, when the gas bag 16 expands, it is surely broken in the thin portion 21, and the breaking line L is formed by connecting the second thin portion 22 by controlling the meandering in the thin portion 21 as shown in FIG. Therefore, it is possible to substantially match each pad, and it is possible to substantially eliminate the variation in the gas bag deployment load for each pad 11.

る。Further, in the pad 11, the second thin portion 22 has the thin portion 2
1 is formed intermittently, and a thinner portion is not continuously formed along the forming direction in the thin portion 21, and since the general thin portion 23 remains intermittently, The breaking strength of the thin portion 21 is not significantly reduced, and the thin portion 21 can be prevented from breaking when the pad 11 is pressed when the horn is operating other than when the gas bag 16 is expanded.
さらにまた、薄肉部２１内に一般薄肉部２３が断続的に
形成されていることから、パツド１１成形時、この一般
薄肉部２３を介して成形材料が第２薄肉部２２に容易に
