Definitions
- a seat belt webbing guide commonly referred to as a “D” ring
- the D ring is vertically adjustable to facilitate proper location of the shoulder belt portion.
Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention generally relates to safety restraints for motor vehicles. More particularly, the present invention relates to an energy absorbing trim panel assembly for a B-pillar of a motor vehicle.
- 2. Discussion
- Vehicle occupant restraint systems having a seat belt webbing and a guide for guiding the seat belt webbing are well known in the art. In known occupant restraint systems, a seat belt webbing guide, commonly referred to as a “D” ring, assists in positioning a shoulder belt portion of the seat belt diagonally across a vehicle occupant. In many applications, the D ring is vertically adjustable to facilitate proper location of the shoulder belt portion.
- Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) requirements which began gradual introduction with the 1999 model year specify maximum head injury criteria for various points along the vehicle's B-pillar. One of the specific points on the B-pillar that must satisfy the FMVSS is the upper end of the B-pillar where the vehicle occupant's head may impact the B-pillar sideways at and above the upper vertical position of the seat belt D ring. The FMVSS 201 countermeasure requires the vehicle occupant's head impact energy absorption performance to exceed previous levels, thereby minimizing possible head injury to the occupant. These new standards require modification to the B-pillar where improvement is required in the vehicle area above the bottom of the glass, or vehicle beltline.
- A common technique for adding energy absorbing material to the outlined area is simply modifying the existing B-pillar by mounting the material on the metal structural support surface. U.S. Pat. No. 6,036,227 to Lin et al. teaches this typical modification. While such additions have proven to be acceptable for their intended purpose, they are not aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, in certain applications known arrangements may not provide sufficient energy absorbing material for occupant's of all sizes.
- It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a trim panel assembly including an energy absorbing material in compliance with FMVSS 201 standards that extends the entire region above the beltline.
- It is another object of this invention to provide an aesthetically pleasing B-pillar supporting a safety restraint system in conjunction with energy absorbing material.
- In a preferred form of the present invention, a B-pillar is provided with energy absorbing material extending the entire length of the interior of the pillar. Along the upper end of the B-pillar, an area is provided for framing the mounting arrangement of the safety restraint system. Specifically, a slot extends longitudinally along the upper end of the B-pillar and frames a trim panel. The trim panel is provided with two openings, one is a through bore for the D ring receiving the mounting webbing and the other is a through bore for receiving an indexing latch for moving the seat belt webbing and D ring along the slot.
- The trim panel slides along a track extending on both sides of the slot and the entire length of the slot within the interior of the B-panel. As with the B-pillar, the trim panel includes energy absorbing material along its lower end below the openings framing the safety restraint system. The area above the openings is generally flat and does not contain any energy absorbing material. This allows the trim panel to glide along the slot when the occupant indexes the seat belt in proper alignment to their shoulder height.
- To provide energy absorbing material within the flat area of the trim panel, a bridge of such material extends from one side of the B-pillar across and above the slot to the other side of the B-pillar. The energy absorbing material creates a bridged area for the trim panel to glide underneath when the seat belt is indexed to the upper slot area. By providing the material bridge, the preferred embodiment of the present invention is able to increase the impact absorption material to an average thickness of 15.0-20.0 mm. This provides a countermeasure in compliance with the 201 head impact requirements. Additionally, the trim panel provides an aesthetically pleasing outer cover to the safety restraint system. When the occupant indexes the seat belt webbing along the slot, the trim panel glides with the D ring providing a congruous cover within the slotted area of the B-pillar.
- Additional benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains from reading the subsequent description of the preferred embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
- FIG. 1 is an environmental view of the B-pillar area of an automobile interior illustrating a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective front view of the B-pillar of the present invention.
- FIG. 3 is a perspective rear view of the B-pillar of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a rear view showing the trim panel area in detail.
- FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view of the trim panel taken along lines5-5 of FIG. 4.
- With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, a
vehicle 10 has apassenger compartment 12 partially defined by aroof 14, a B-pillar 16 and aside window area 18. The exterior 20 of B-pillar 16 is preferably formed of a trim material to match the interior of thepassenger compartment 12. - B-
pillar 16 preferably extends the length of thepassenger compartment 12 from theroof 14 past theside window area 18 to the floor of thevehicle 10. At theupper end 22 of the B-pillar 16 is anelongated slot 24. Theslot 24 is covered by amovable trim panel 26. Thetrim panel 26 is preferably formed of the same trim material as the B-pillar. Thetrim panel 26 frames thesafety restraint system 28 and is provided with twoopenings D ring 34 and indexinglatch 36, respectively, within theslot 24 vertically as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 2. Thetrim panel 26 travels along theslot 24 when a vehicle occupant indexes thesafety restraint system 28 to a preferred location along theslot 24. Thesafety restraint system 28 is mounted to the vehicle through a standard mounting system. In this way, thetrim panel 26 continuously covers theslot 24 and provides an aesthetic cover for theslot 24. Theslot 24 and framing area 38 (see FIGS. 2, 4 and 5) of thetrim panel 26 are formed withrounded edges pillar 16. - With reference now to FIGS.2-5, the
interior 44 of the B-pillar 16 is generally shown havingenergy absorbing material 46 extending along thelower half 48 of the B-pillar 16. The energy absorbing material extends upward to theupper half 50 of the B-pillar 16 along bothsides slot 24. - A set of
tracks 56 extends along eitherside slot 24 and provides guidance to thetrim panel 26 when thesafety restraint system 28 is indexed to a preferred position along theslot 24. Theback 58 of thetrim panel 26 also includes energy absorbing material along thelower half 60 below theframing area 38.Stops 62 are provided at theend 64 oftrim panel 26 on eitherside slot 24. Thesestops 62 determine the uppermost position for indexing thesafety restraint system 28 within theslot 24. - Both the
framing area 38 andupper half 66 of thetrim panel back 58 are free from energy absorbing material. When thetrim panel 26 travels upwardly along thetracks 56 andslot 24, theupper half 66 of thetrim panel 26 slides under abridge 68 of energy absorbing material spanning across theedges 38 of B-pillar 16. Thisbridge 68 preferably provides 15.0-20.0 mm of energy absorbing material in compliance with 201 head impact requirements established by the FMVSS. Alternatively, when thetrim panel 26 is indexed to its lower position, theenergy absorbing material 46 extending along thelower half 60 of B-pillar 16 andupper clasp 70 stops travel within theslot 24.Clasps pillar 16 to thevehicle 10. - While the invention has been described in the specification and illustrated in the drawings with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the claims. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the invention without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiment illustrated by the drawings and described in the specification as the best mode presently contemplated for carrying out this invention, but that the invention will include any embodiments falling within the description of the appended claims.
