Description

orrich ung Zur Sicherung eines Airbags orrich To secure an airbag
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Sicherung eines Airbags im Pralltopf eines Kraftfahrzeuglenkrades, mit einer am Lenkradkranz festlegbaren, den Pralltopf mecha¬ nisch niederhaltenden Haltevorrichtung.The invention relates to a device for securing an airbag in the impact chamber of a motor vehicle steering wheel, with a holding device which can be fixed on the steering wheel rim and holds the impact chamber mechanically.
Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist beispielsweise aus dem DE-GM 94 06 365.6 bekannt. Sie wird verwendet, um im Falle eines Autounfalles, bei welchem der Airbag aus irgendwel¬ chen Gründen nicht ausgelöst hat, die Auslösung und Entfal¬ tung des Airbags zur Unzeit, zum Beispiel während der Ber- gungs- und Rettungsarbeiten zu unterbinden.Such a device is known for example from DE-GM 94 06 365.6. It is used in order to prevent the deployment and deployment of the airbag at the wrong time, for example during rescue and rescue work, in the event of a car accident in which the airbag has not deployed for any reason.
Die vorbekannte Vorrichtung ist als teleskopierbare Lenkradkralle ausgebildet und infolgedessen verhältnismäßig sperrig, so daß die Anbringung im Unfallfahrzeug durch das Rettungspersonal Schwierigkeiten macht. Das gilt insbe¬ sondere, wenn der Lenkradkranz durch den Unfall irgendwie deformiert ist. Weiterhin , stellen die starren Teile der Lenkradkralle ein weiteres Gefährdungspotential dar, wenn der Airbag während der Montage oder Demontage der Vorrichtung auslösen sollte oder die Lenkradkralle sich aus irgendwelchen Gründen vom Lenkradkranz löst.The known device is designed as a telescopic steering wheel claw and consequently relatively bulky, so that the attachment in the accident vehicle by the rescue personnel makes difficulties. This applies in particular if the steering wheel rim is deformed in some way as a result of the accident. Furthermore, the rigid parts of the steering wheel claw represent a further potential hazard if the airbag should deploy during assembly or disassembly of the device or if the steering wheel claw detaches from the steering wheel rim for any reason.
ORIGINALUNTERLAGEN Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der Erfindung, die Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, daß sie ohne gefährliche starre Teile auskommt, einfacher und sicherer zu montieren und zu demontieren ist und weniger Stauraum im Rettungsfahrzeug benötigt.ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS It is therefore an object of the invention to develop the device of the type mentioned in such a way that it does not need dangerous rigid parts, is easier and safer to assemble and disassemble and requires less storage space in the emergency vehicle.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung ausgehend von einer Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art vor, daß die Haltevorrichtung als über den Pralltopf spannbares Si¬ cherungsgeflecht ausgebildet ist, welches den Lenkradkranz umschließt und hinter dem Lenkradkranz mittels einer Spann¬ vorrichtung zusammenziehbar und arretierbar ist.To achieve this object, the invention proposes, starting from a device of the type mentioned at the outset, that the holding device is designed as a safety braid which can be tensioned over the impact pot and which surrounds the steering wheel rim and can be contracted and locked behind the steering wheel rim by means of a tensioning device.
Das Sicherungsgeflecht gemäß der Erfindung wird derart über das Lenkrad gelegt, daß es sowohl den Pralltopf als auch den Lenkradkranz überdeckt. Sodann wird es hinter dem Lenkradkranz mittels der Spannvorrichtung zusammengezogen und in der zusammengezogenen Stellung arretiert, so daß das Sicherungsgeflecht eine Entfaltung des Airbags zur Unzeit unterbindet. Zur Demontage wird lediglich die Arretierung der Spannvorrichtung gelöst, so daß das Sicherungsgeflecht einfach und gefahrlos von dem Lenkrad abgenommen werden kann.The safety braid according to the invention is placed over the steering wheel in such a way that it covers both the impact pot and the steering wheel rim. Then it is contracted behind the steering wheel rim by means of the tensioning device and locked in the contracted position, so that the safety braid prevents the airbag from unfolding at the wrong time. For disassembly, only the locking of the tensioning device is released, so that the safety braid can be removed easily and safely from the steering wheel.
Eine erste Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, daß das Sicherungsgeflecht von einem Mittelstück ausgehende, stern¬ förmig verlaufende Stränge aufweist, die hinter dem Lenkradkranz durch ein als Spannmittel dienendes Zugmittel verbunden sind, welches durch Ösen an den Enden der Stränge geführt ist. Ein derart ausgebildetes Sicherheitsgeflecht kann spinnennetzartig über das Lenkrad gelegt werden und hinter dem Lenkrad durch Ziehen an dem Zugmittel zusammen- gezogen und arretiert werden. Das Sicherungsgeflecht kann beispielsweise als Kettenge¬ flecht und das Zugmittel als Zugseil ausgebildet sein. In diesem Fall ist zweckmäßig das Ende des Zugseiles mit einer Griffschlaufe und einer Federklemme versehen, welche es ermöglichen, das Zugseil auf einfache Weise zu ziehen und zu arretieren.A first embodiment of the invention provides that the safety braid has star-shaped strands extending from a center piece, which are connected behind the steering wheel rim by a traction means serving as tensioning means, which is guided through eyelets at the ends of the strands. A safety mesh formed in this way can be placed over the steering wheel in the manner of a spider's web and pulled together and locked behind the steering wheel by pulling on the traction means. The securing braid can be designed, for example, as a chain braid and the traction means as a traction rope. In this case, the end of the pull rope is expediently provided with a grip loop and a spring clip, which make it possible to pull and lock the pull rope in a simple manner.
Alternativ kann das Sicherungsgeflecht auch als Gurtge¬ flecht und das Zugmittel als Zuggurt ausgebildet sein. Sol¬ che Zuggurte aus Textilmaterial sind einerseits sehr leicht und andererseits sehr haltbar und können darüber hinaus billig, zum Beispiel durch Nähen, miteinander verbunden werden.Alternatively, the securing braid can also be designed as a belt braid and the traction means can be designed as a tension belt. Such tension belts made of textile material are on the one hand very light and on the other hand very durable and can also be connected to one another inexpensively, for example by sewing.
Auch bei der zuletzt genannten Ausführungsform ist der Zug¬ gurt am Ende mit einer Griffschlaufe und einer Gurtklemme versehen, die es ermöglichen, den Gurt hinter dem Lenkrad¬ kranz mit einem Handgriff zusammenzuziehen und in der zu¬ sammengezogenen Stellung zu arretieren.In the last-mentioned embodiment, too, the tension belt is provided at the end with a grip loop and a belt clamp, which make it possible to pull the belt behind the steering wheel rim with a handle and to lock it in the contracted position.
Zwei Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden im folgenden anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:Two embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. Show it:
Fig.l eine Vorrichtung gemäß derFig.l a device according to the
Erfindung mit einem Siche¬ rungsgeflecht aus Ketten;Invention with a securing braid made of chains;
Fig.2 eine Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung mit einem Siche- rungsgeflecht aus Gurten.2 shows a device according to the invention with a safety braid made of straps.
In Fig. 1 ist der Lenkradkranz mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 be¬ zeichnet. Der mittig in dem Lenkradkranz 1 angeordnete, den Airbag enthaltene Pralltopf wird von einem aus Ketten ge- bildeten Sicherungsgeflecht abgedeckt, dessen Ketten¬ stränge 2 von einem zentralen Kettenglied ausgehend stern¬ förmig nach außen verlaufen, spinnennetzartig den Lenkrad¬ kranz 1 umschließen und hinter dem Lenkradkranz 1 mittels eines Stahlseiles 3 zusammenziehbar sind. Das Stahlseil 3 verläuft durch Ösen 4 an den Enden der Kettenstränge 2 und ist mit einer Griffschlaufe 5 versehen, welche es ermög¬ licht, die Kettenstränge 2 mit einem einzigen Handgriff hinter dem Lenkradkranz 1 zusammenzuziehen. Damit sich die Vorrichtung nicht selbsttätig öffnet, ist eine Seilklemme 6 vorgesehen, die das Seil in stufenlosen Stellungen fest¬ hält.In Fig. 1, the steering wheel rim is designated by the reference numeral 1. The baffle contained in the center of the steering wheel rim 1 and containing the airbag is driven by a chain formed safety net covered, the chain strands 2 starting from a central chain link run star-shaped to the outside, enclose the steering wheel rim 1 in a spider web-like manner and can be contracted behind the steering wheel rim 1 by means of a steel cable 3. The steel cable 3 runs through eyelets 4 at the ends of the chain strands 2 and is provided with a handle loop 5, which makes it possible to pull the chain strands 2 together behind the steering wheel rim 1 with a single handle. So that the device does not open automatically, a rope clamp 6 is provided which holds the rope in infinitely variable positions.
Das über den Pralltopf des Lenkrades gespannte Sicherungs- geflecht verhindert ein unkontrolliertes Öffnen der Lenkradabdeckung und damit ein unvorhergesehenes Entfalten des Airbags.The safety braid, which is stretched over the baffle of the steering wheel, prevents the steering wheel cover from opening in an uncontrolled manner and thus prevents the airbag from deploying unexpectedly.
Erst bei Betätigen der Federklemme 5 wird das Stahlseil 3 hinter dem Lenkradkranz 2 freigegeben, so daß das Siche¬ rungsgeflecht von dem Lenkrad abgenommen werden kann.The steel cable 3 behind the steering wheel rim 2 is only released when the spring clamp 5 is actuated, so that the securing braid can be removed from the steering wheel.
Das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 2 entspricht weitgehend dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1. Der Lenkradkranz ist hier mit dem Bezugszeichen 11 bezeichnet. Der mittig in dem Lenkradkranz 11 angeordnete, den Airbag enthaltene Prall¬ topf wird von einem aus Gurten gebildeten Sicherungsge- flecht abgedeckt, dessen Gurtstränge 12 von einer zentralen Gurtplatte ausgehend sternförmig verlaufen, spinnennetzar¬ tig den Lenkradkranz 11 umschließen und hinter dem Lenkrad¬ kranz 11 mittels eines Zuggurtes 13 zusammenziehbar sind. Der Zuggurt 13 verläuft durch Ösen 14 an den Enden der Gurtstränge 12 und ist mit einer Griffschlaufe 15 versehen, welche es ermöglicht, die Gurtstränge 12 mit einem einzigen Handgriff hinter dem Lenkradkranz 11 zusammenzuziehen. Da- mit sich der verspannte Gurt nicht selbsttätig öffnet, ist eine Gurtklemme 16 vorgesehen, die den Zuggurt in stufenlo¬ sen Stellungen festhält.The embodiment according to FIG. 2 largely corresponds to the embodiment of FIG. 1. The steering wheel rim is designated here by reference number 11. The impact cup, which is arranged centrally in the steering wheel rim 11 and contains the airbag, is covered by a safety braid formed from belts, the belt strands 12 of which extend in a star shape from a central belt plate, surround the steering wheel rim 11 in the manner of a spider web, and behind the steering wheel rim 11 are contractible by means of a tension belt 13. The tension belt 13 runs through eyelets 14 at the ends of the belt strands 12 and is provided with a handle loop 15, which makes it possible to pull the belt strands 12 together behind the steering wheel rim 11 with a single handle. There- with the tensioned belt not opening automatically, a belt clamp 16 is provided which holds the tension belt in stepless positions.
Auch dieses über den Pralltopf des Lenkrades gespannte, aus Gurten bestehende Sicherungsgeflecht verhindert ein unkon¬ trolliertes Öffnen der Lenkradabdeckungen somit ein unvor¬ hergesehenes Auslösen des Airbags. Erst bei Betätigen der Gurtklemme 15 gibt der Zuggurt 13 die Enden der Gurtstränge frei, so daß das Sicherungsgeflecht von dem Lenkradkranz 11 abgenommen werden kann. This safety braid, which is made of belts and is tensioned over the baffle of the steering wheel, prevents the steering wheel covers from opening in an uncontrolled manner, thus preventing the airbag from being triggered unintentionally. Only when the belt clamp 15 is actuated does the tension belt 13 release the ends of the belt strands, so that the securing braid can be removed from the steering wheel rim 11.
