図12において、構成例3に係るディフューザ36は、スリット36Sが、該ディフューザ36の軸方向に延びる軸方向部36Jと、軸方向部36Jの端部からディフューザ36の周方向に延びて終端する周方向部36Kとを有している。これにより、スリット36Sの形状は、略L字形となっている。
図13から図16において、構成例4に係るディフューザ36は、インフレータ22における少なくともガス噴出部22Aから該ガス噴出部22A側のスタッドボルト54の位置までの部分を差し込むことが可能な長さを有する長円形の筒状に構成されている。ディフューザ36の長軸方向の内径d1は、インフレータ22の外径をDとし、スタッドボルト54の突出量をLとすると、d1>D+Lとなるように設定されている。またディフューザ36の短軸方向の内径d2は、d2>Dとなるように設定されている。これにより、図14に示されるように、ディフューザ36にインフレータ22を差し込む際に、スタッドボルト54も含めて差し込むことができるようになっている。なお、内径d1,d2の上限については、シートバック14の側部における車両用サイドエアバッグ装置10の搭載スペースを考慮して適宜設定される。
本実施形態は、上記のように構成されており、以下その作用について説明する。図1において、車両用シート12には、一般に、シートバック14の傾斜角度を調整するためのリクライニング機構(図示せず)が設けられており、シートバック14の側部の下部にエアバッグモジュールの搭載スペースを確保することが難しいが、本実施形態では、インフレータ22が、サイドエアバッグ16内におけるシート後方側に位置し、低圧室である上部室30内に配設され、サイドエアバッグ16の折畳み寸法(パッケージ寸法)を小さくできるので、シートバック14の側部へのエアバッグモジュール(図示せず)の搭載性が良好である。
図18において、本実施の形態に係る車両用サイドエアバッグ装置20では、膨張展開状態のサイドエアバッグ16において、逆止弁24は、隔壁18の後端部18Rとサイドエアバッグ16の後側内面16Rとにより構成され、隔壁18の後端部18Rが該後側内面16Rから離間することでガスの流路が開き、該後端部18Rが後側内面16Rに当接することで該ガスの流路が閉じるように構成されている。
本実施形態は、上記のように構成されており、以下その作用について説明する。図18において、本実施形態に係る車両用サイドエアバッグ装置20では、図示しない衝突センサからの信号に基づいてエアバッグECUが該側面衝突の発生を判定すると、該エアバッグECUからインフレータ22に作動電流が流される。インフレータ22は、該作動電流を受けて作動して、ガス噴出部22Aから多量のガスを噴出させる。このガスが、サイドエアバッグ16内へと供給されることで、該サイドエアバッグ16がシートバック14から膨出し、車両側部(図示せず)と乗員26(図1参照)との間へ膨張展開する。
