Description

エアバッグ装置Airbag device
 本発明は、車両内でエアバッグを膨張展開させて、エアバッグにより乗員を保護するエアバッグ装置に関する。 The present invention relates to an airbag device that inflates and deploys an airbag in a vehicle and protects an occupant with the airbag.
 車両の緊急時や衝突時に乗員を保護するため、エアバッグ装置が使用されている。エアバッグ装置は、膨張展開させたエアバッグにより乗員を受け止める。その際、乗員を確実に保護するため、エアバッグは、車体に固定して、車両内の所定範囲に展開させる必要がある。これに関連して、従来、車体に固定される固定布(固定部)をエアバッグに設けたエアバッグ装置が知られている(特許文献1参照)。 ¡Airbag devices are used to protect passengers in the event of a vehicle emergency or collision. The airbag device receives an occupant by an inflated and deployed airbag. At that time, in order to protect the occupant with certainty, the airbag needs to be fixed to the vehicle body and deployed within a predetermined range in the vehicle. In relation to this, an airbag apparatus in which a fixed cloth (fixed portion) fixed to a vehicle body is conventionally provided in an airbag is known (see Patent Document 1).
 従来のエアバッグ装置では、固定布を縫製するととともに、その2つの下部を、それぞれ縫製によりエアバッグに取り付け、車体に固定して、車両内で展開するエアバッグの位置を維持している。
 しかしながら、従来のエアバッグ装置では、固定布を複数箇所で別個に縫製するため、縫製の工程が多くなる。固定布の縫製時間も長くなるため、縫製の作業効率が低くなる傾向がある。また、固定布は、エアバッグの展開に伴う引っ張りや乗員を受け止めた衝撃により、大きな力を受けることがある。そのため、固定布が外力に耐えられるように、固定布の強度をより高くすることも求められている。
In a conventional airbag device, a fixed cloth is sewn, and two lower portions thereof are respectively attached to an airbag by sewing and fixed to a vehicle body to maintain the position of the airbag deployed in the vehicle.
However, in the conventional airbag apparatus, since the fixed cloth is sewn separately at a plurality of locations, the number of sewing steps increases. Since the sewing time of the fixed cloth also becomes long, the working efficiency of sewing tends to be low. In addition, the fixed cloth may be subjected to a large force due to a pull accompanying the deployment of the airbag or an impact received by the occupant. For this reason, it is also required to increase the strength of the fixed cloth so that the fixed cloth can withstand external force.

 図5は、固定布30を分解して示す図である。
 固定布30は、図示のように、縫製により一体化される本体布34と、補強布40とからなる。本体布34は、エアバッグ20と一体に形成された一体布であり、エアバッグ20の基布21、22にそれぞれ形成された矩形状布を有する。固定布30は、重なり合う2枚の本体布34を有する。本体布34は、固定布30と同様に、突出部31Aと、基部32Aと、挿入部33Aと、2つの凹部35Aと、2つの貫通孔36Aとを有する。凹部35Aと貫通孔36Aは、突出部31Aの両側の基部32Aに形成されている。
FIG. 5 is an exploded view of the fixed cloth 30.
The fixed cloth 30 includes a main body cloth 34 and a reinforcing cloth 40 which are integrated by sewing as shown in the figure. The main body cloth 34 is an integral cloth integrally formed with the airbag 20, and has rectangular cloths respectively formed on the base cloths 21 and 22 of the airbag 20. The fixed cloth 30 has two main body cloths 34 that overlap each other. As with the fixed cloth 30, the main body cloth 34 includes a protruding portion 31A, a base portion 32A, an insertion portion 33A, two concave portions 35A, and two through holes 36A. The concave portion 35A and the through hole 36A are formed in the base portion 32A on both sides of the protruding portion 31A.
 補強布40は、エアバッグ20とは別体の1枚又は複数枚の布からなる。補強布40は、基布により本体布34と同形状に形成され、本体布34と同様に、突出部31B、基部32B、挿入部33B、凹部35B、及び、貫通孔36Bを有する。補強布40は、本体布34に重ね合わされて、本体布34に所定箇所で縫製される。その際、本体布34と補強布40は、凹部35A、35Bと貫通孔36A、36Bの位置を合わせることで、正確に重ね合わされる。挿入部33A、33Bは、同じ位置に配置されて、本体布34と補強布40を貫通する。補強布40は縫製により本体布34に結合する。補強布40は、本体布34を補強して、固定布30の強度を高くする。なお、凹部35(35A、35B)は、固定布30の突出部31が固定部材10により折り曲げられる際に、突出部31を折り曲げ易くするために設けられている。従って、突出部31の折り曲げ易さが問題とならないときには、固定布30に凹部35を設けなくてもよい。この場合には、例えば、突出部31と基部32の間の角部を曲線状に形成して、突出部31と基部32を曲線部で接続する。 The reinforcing cloth 40 is made of one or a plurality of cloths separate from the airbag 20. The reinforcing cloth 40 is formed in the same shape as the main body cloth 34 by the base cloth, and has the protruding portion 31B, the base portion 32B, the insertion portion 33B, the concave portion 35B, and the through hole 36B, as with the main body cloth 34. The reinforcing cloth 40 is superimposed on the main body cloth 34 and is sewn to the main body cloth 34 at a predetermined position. At that time, the main body cloth 34 and the reinforcing cloth 40 are accurately overlapped by aligning the positions of the recesses 35A and 35B and the through holes 36A and 36B. The insertion portions 33 </ b> A and 33 </ b> B are disposed at the same position and penetrate the main body cloth 34 and the reinforcing cloth 40. The reinforcing cloth 40 is coupled to the main body cloth 34 by sewing. The reinforcing cloth 40 reinforces the main body cloth 34 and increases the strength of the fixed cloth 30. The recesses 35 (35A, 35B) are provided to facilitate bending of the protrusion 31 when the protrusion 31 of the fixed cloth 30 is bent by the fixing member 10. Accordingly, when the ease of bending the protruding portion 31 does not matter, the recessed portion 35 may not be provided in the fixed cloth 30. In this case, for example, the corner between the protruding portion 31 and the base portion 32 is formed in a curved shape, and the protruding portion 31 and the base portion 32 are connected by the curved portion.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a sewing pattern of the main body cloth 34 and the reinforcing cloth 40. FIG. 6A is a diagram illustrating the fixed cloth 30 after sewing. 6B and 6C are diagrams illustrating a sewing process of the fixed cloth 30. FIG.
As shown in the figure, the fixed cloth 30 has two kinds of sewing parts 37 and 38, that is, an attaching sewing part 37 for attaching the reinforcing cloth 40 to the main body cloth 34 and a reinforcing sewing part 38 for reinforcing the fixing cloth 30. Sewing is performed by the attachment sewing portion 37 and one reinforcing sewing portion 38.
The main body cloth 34 and the reinforcing cloth 40 are overlapped and sewn together at the sewing portions 37 and 38, whereby the main body cloth 34 and the reinforcing cloth 40 are joined to form the fixed cloth 30 on the airbag 20.
 取付縫製部37は、固定布30の基部32を横断して直線状に形成され、これにより基部32の全体が縫製される。取付縫製部37は、本体布34と補強布40の基部32に形成されるとともに、補強布40の外まで形成され、補強布40は、取付縫製部37での縫製により本体布34に取り付けられる。なお、固定布30内で、凹部35の底は、負荷が掛かり易い部分であり、取付縫製部37は、少なくとも2つの凹部35の底の下方部間に渡って形成する必要がある。即ち、取付縫製部37は、凹部35の底の下方部間に渡って形成されていればよく、凹部35の底の下方部よりも外側には形成しなくてもよい。ただし、取付縫製部37は、固定布30への負荷に確実に対処するため、上記のように形成するのが好ましい。 The attachment sewing portion 37 is formed linearly across the base portion 32 of the fixed cloth 30, whereby the entire base portion 32 is sewn. The attachment sewing portion 37 is formed on the base cloth 32 and the base portion 32 of the reinforcement cloth 40 and is formed to the outside of the reinforcement cloth 40, and the reinforcement cloth 40 is attached to the main body cloth 34 by sewing at the attachment sewing section 37. . In addition, in the fixed cloth 30, the bottom of the recessed part 35 is a part where load is easily applied, and the attachment sewing part 37 needs to be formed across the lower part of the bottom of the at least two recessed parts 35. That is, the attachment sewing portion 37 may be formed across the lower portion of the bottom of the concave portion 35, and may not be formed outside the lower portion of the bottom of the concave portion 35. However, the attachment sewing portion 37 is preferably formed as described above in order to reliably cope with the load on the fixed cloth 30.
 補強縫製部38は、挿入部33に沿って固定布30を縫製することで固定布30に形成され、固定布30の挿入部33を囲む環状(図6では矩形状)に形成されて、固定布30の挿入部33を補強する。補強布40と本体布34は、補強縫製部38で矩形状に縫い合わされる。即ち、固定布30は、補強縫製部38により、補強布40と本体布34が一体化して補強される。補強縫製部38は、挿入部33の周辺部分を補強し、挿入部33の周りの強度を高くする。 The reinforcing sewing portion 38 is formed on the fixed fabric 30 by sewing the fixed fabric 30 along the insertion portion 33, and is formed in an annular shape (rectangular shape in FIG. 6) surrounding the insertion portion 33 of the fixed fabric 30. The insertion part 33 of the cloth 30 is reinforced. The reinforcing cloth 40 and the main body cloth 34 are sewn into a rectangular shape by the reinforcing sewing portion 38. That is, the fixed cloth 30 is reinforced by the reinforcing sewing portion 38 by integrating the reinforcing cloth 40 and the main body cloth 34. The reinforcement sewing portion 38 reinforces the peripheral portion of the insertion portion 33 and increases the strength around the insertion portion 33.
 2つの縫製部37、38は、固定布30に別個に形成せず、一体化させて形成する。即ち、取付縫製部37と補強縫製部38を繋げて、一度の縫製により連続して形成する。固定布30は、1回の縫製により結合されるため、縫製部37、38の全体の形状を、一筆で書ける形状に設定する。取付縫製部37と補強縫製部38は、接する部分、又は、重複する部分を有する。 The two sewing parts 37 and 38 are not formed separately on the fixed cloth 30, but are formed integrally. That is, the attachment sewing part 37 and the reinforcement sewing part 38 are connected and formed continuously by one sewing. Since the fixed cloth 30 is joined by one sewing, the entire shape of the sewing portions 37 and 38 is set to a shape that can be written with one stroke. The attachment sewing part 37 and the reinforcement sewing part 38 have a contact part or an overlapping part.
 図6に示す縫製パターンでは、縫製部37、38の直線状部分が、基部32で同じ位置に設けられる。補強縫製部38は、取付縫製部37の中間部分に重なるように形成される。固定布30の縫製時には、縫製部37、38の全体を、一筆書きのように、連続して縫製する。その際、まず、取付縫製部37(図6B参照)の一端から縫製を開始し、取付縫製部37を所定位置まで形成したときに、縫製の方向を変更して、縫製する部分を、取付縫製部37から補強縫製部38に変更する。また、固定布30を、挿入部33を囲むように矩形状に縫製して、補強縫製部38(図6C参照)を形成する。続いて、取付縫製部37の他端まで縫製して、縫製を終了する。 In the sewing pattern shown in FIG. 6, the linear portions of the sewing portions 37 and 38 are provided at the same position on the base portion 32. The reinforcement sewing portion 38 is formed so as to overlap the intermediate portion of the attachment sewing portion 37. When the fixed cloth 30 is sewn, the entire sewn portions 37 and 38 are sewn continuously as in a single stroke. At that time, first, sewing is started from one end of the attachment sewing portion 37 (see FIG. 6B), and when the attachment sewing portion 37 is formed to a predetermined position, the sewing direction is changed and the portion to be sewn is attached to the sewing The portion 37 is changed to the reinforcement sewing portion 38. Further, the fixed cloth 30 is sewn in a rectangular shape so as to surround the insertion portion 33, thereby forming a reinforcing sewing portion 38 (see FIG. 6C). Subsequently, the other end of the attachment sewing portion 37 is sewn, and the sewing is finished.
 このように、取付縫製部37を途中まで形成した後、補強縫製部38の全体を形成し、続いて、取付縫製部37の残りの部分を形成する。即ち、固定布30には、直線状の取付縫製部37と矩形状の補強縫製部38が1回の縫製により連続して形成される。これにより、本体布34と補強布40が縫い合わされ、補強布40が本体布34に取り付けられる。また、固定布30が、結合した複数枚の布により形成されてエアバッグ20に設けられる。その後、固定部材10(図4参照)が固定布30に取り付けられる。補強布40は、本体布34に取り付けられた後、固定部材10により、本体布34とともに車体に固定される。 Thus, after forming the attachment sewing portion 37 partway, the entire reinforcement sewing portion 38 is formed, and subsequently, the remaining portion of the attachment sewing portion 37 is formed. That is, a linear attachment sewing portion 37 and a rectangular reinforcement sewing portion 38 are continuously formed on the fixed cloth 30 by one sewing. Thereby, the main body cloth 34 and the reinforcing cloth 40 are sewn together, and the reinforcing cloth 40 is attached to the main body cloth 34. Further, the fixed cloth 30 is formed by a plurality of combined cloths and provided on the airbag 20. Thereafter, the fixing member 10 (see FIG. 4) is attached to the fixing cloth 30. The reinforcing cloth 40 is fixed to the vehicle body together with the main body cloth 34 by the fixing member 10 after being attached to the main body cloth 34.
 図7は、2つの縫製部37、38を離して形成した固定布30の例を示す図である。
 図示のように、縫製部37、38を固定布30に別個に形成するときには、固定布30の縫製に2工程を要する。これに対し、本実施形態(図6参照)では、2つの縫製部37、38を連続して形成する。そのため、縫製部37、38の縫製を途切れさせずに一工程で行うことができる。固定布30の縫製のための工程と時間を削減できるため、縫製の作業効率を向上させることもできる。
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the fixed cloth 30 formed by separating the two sewing portions 37 and 38.
As shown in the figure, when the sewing portions 37 and 38 are separately formed on the fixed cloth 30, two steps are required for sewing the fixed cloth 30. On the other hand, in this embodiment (refer FIG. 6), the two sewing parts 37 and 38 are formed continuously. Therefore, the sewing of the sewing parts 37 and 38 can be performed in one step without being interrupted. Since the process and time for sewing the fixed cloth 30 can be reduced, the work efficiency of sewing can be improved.
 本実施形態によれば、補強布40を本体布34に重ね合わせて縫製するため、固定布30の強度を高くできる。また、補強布40を取付縫製部37で本体布34に取り付けるとともに、補強縫製部38により固定布30を補強する。そのため、補強布40と本体布34を高い強度で結合できる。補強縫製部38の補強により、固定布30の強度をより高くすることもできる。固定布30の複数の布は、外力を単独で受けずに、共同して外力を受ける。その結果、固定布30は、外力に対する強度が高くなり、破れ難くなる。 According to the present embodiment, since the reinforcing cloth 40 is overlapped and sewn on the main body cloth 34, the strength of the fixed cloth 30 can be increased. In addition, the reinforcing cloth 40 is attached to the main body cloth 34 by the attachment sewing portion 37, and the fixed cloth 30 is reinforced by the reinforcing sewing portion 38. Therefore, the reinforcing cloth 40 and the main body cloth 34 can be coupled with high strength. The strength of the fixed cloth 30 can be further increased by reinforcing the reinforcement sewing portion 38. The plurality of cloths of the fixed cloth 30 receive external force jointly without receiving external force alone. As a result, the fixed cloth 30 has high strength against external force and is not easily torn.
 挿入部33の周りに形成した補強縫製部38により挿入部33を補強するときには、挿入部33の周辺部分の強度を高くできる。これにより、固定布30が挿入部33の周りで破れ難くなるため、固定布30が固定部材10から外れるのを防止できる。補強縫製部38を、挿入部33を囲んで形成することで、挿入部33の周りの全体を補強できる。取付縫製部37を本体布34と補強布40の基部32に形成するときには、補強布40を基部32において本体布34にしっかりと取り付けることができる。また、固定布30に加わる力は、本体布34と補強布40の縫製された基部32に作用する。そのため、固定布30の突出部31、又は、突出部31の付け根が外力で破損するのも防止できる。 When the insertion portion 33 is reinforced by the reinforcing sewing portion 38 formed around the insertion portion 33, the strength of the peripheral portion of the insertion portion 33 can be increased. Thereby, since the fixed cloth 30 is difficult to be broken around the insertion portion 33, it is possible to prevent the fixed cloth 30 from being detached from the fixed member 10. By forming the reinforcement sewing portion 38 so as to surround the insertion portion 33, the entire periphery of the insertion portion 33 can be reinforced. When the attachment sewing portion 37 is formed on the base cloth 32 and the base portion 32 of the reinforcing cloth 40, the reinforcing cloth 40 can be firmly attached to the main body cloth 34 at the base portion 32. Further, the force applied to the fixed cloth 30 acts on the base 32 where the main body cloth 34 and the reinforcing cloth 40 are sewn. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the protruding portion 31 of the fixed cloth 30 or the base of the protruding portion 31 from being damaged by an external force.
 なお、補強布40は、本体布34に重ね合わせた1枚の布から構成してもよく、複数枚の布から構成してもよい。また、補強布40を、本体布34の両面に同じ枚数ずつ配置してもよく、本体布34の各面で異なる枚数になるように配置してもよい。本体布34は、補強布40の間に配置せず、補強布40の一方の面に配置してもよい。取付縫製部37は、直線状以外の形状(例えば、曲線状や波状)に形成してもよい。補強縫製部38は、矩形状以外の形状(例えば、円形状や多角形状)に形成してもよい。次に、他の実施形態の補強布について説明する。 Note that the reinforcing cloth 40 may be composed of a single cloth superposed on the main body cloth 34, or may be composed of a plurality of cloths. Further, the same number of reinforcing cloths 40 may be arranged on both surfaces of the main body cloth 34, or different numbers may be arranged on each surface of the main body cloth 34. The main body cloth 34 may be disposed on one surface of the reinforcing cloth 40 without being disposed between the reinforcing cloths 40. The attachment sewing portion 37 may be formed in a shape other than a straight shape (for example, a curved shape or a wave shape). The reinforcing sewing portion 38 may be formed in a shape other than a rectangular shape (for example, a circular shape or a polygonal shape). Next, a reinforcing fabric according to another embodiment will be described.
 図8は、他の実施形態の補強布50~52を示す図である。
 図8Aに示す補強布50では、挿入部33Bの形状のみが上記した補強布40と相違する。補強布50の挿入部33Bは、所定幅のスリットからなる。本体布34の挿入部33Aは、補強布50の挿入部33Bと同じ形状に形成される。補強布50と本体布34は、重ね合わされて縫製部37、38で縫製される。
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing reinforcing cloths 50 to 52 according to another embodiment.
In the reinforcing cloth 50 shown in FIG. 8A, only the shape of the insertion portion 33B is different from the reinforcing cloth 40 described above. The insertion portion 33B of the reinforcing cloth 50 is formed of a slit having a predetermined width. The insertion portion 33A of the main body cloth 34 is formed in the same shape as the insertion portion 33B of the reinforcing cloth 50. The reinforcing cloth 50 and the main body cloth 34 are overlapped and sewn by the sewing portions 37 and 38.
 図8Bに示す補強布51は、スリット状の挿入部33Bに替えて、円形孔からなる挿入部39を有する。補強布51は、挿入部39を除いて、上記した補強布40と同様に構成されている。補強布51の挿入部39は、ボルト等の固定部材(図示せず)が挿入される固定孔である。本体布34には、挿入部39と同形状の挿入部(固定孔)が、挿入部33Aに替えて形成される。補強布51と本体布34の縫製後に、固定布30が、挿入部39に挿入された固定部材により車体に固定される。 8B has a insertion portion 39 made of a circular hole instead of the slit-shaped insertion portion 33B. The reinforcing cloth 51 is configured in the same manner as the above-described reinforcing cloth 40 except for the insertion portion 39. The insertion portion 39 of the reinforcing cloth 51 is a fixing hole into which a fixing member (not shown) such as a bolt is inserted. An insertion portion (fixed hole) having the same shape as the insertion portion 39 is formed in the main body cloth 34 in place of the insertion portion 33A. After the reinforcement cloth 51 and the main body cloth 34 are sewn, the fixing cloth 30 is fixed to the vehicle body by a fixing member inserted into the insertion portion 39.
 図8Cに示す補強布52は、凹部35Bと貫通孔36Bを有さない。補強布52は、凹部35Bと貫通孔36B以外は、図8Bに示す補強布51と同様に構成されている。補強布52と本体布34は、縁を揃えて重ね合わされて、縫製部37、38で縫製される。 8C does not have the recess 35B and the through hole 36B. The reinforcing cloth 52 is configured in the same manner as the reinforcing cloth 51 shown in FIG. 8B except for the recess 35B and the through hole 36B. The reinforcing cloth 52 and the main body cloth 34 are overlapped with their edges aligned, and are sewn by the sewing portions 37 and 38.
 図9、図10は、補強布51の2つの縫製パターンを示す図である。
 図9に示す縫製パターンでは、上記した補強布40(図6参照)と同様に、取付縫製部53Aと補強縫製部54Aを、一続きに繋げて、一度の縫製により連続して形成する。補強布51と本体布34は、取付縫製部53Aと補強縫製部54Aで連続して縫い合わされる。その際、縫製(図9A参照)を取付縫製部53Aの一端から開始する。取付縫製部53Aを所定位置まで形成した後、挿入部39の全体を囲んで縫製する。これにより、環状の補強縫製部54A(図9B参照)を、挿入部39を囲むように挿入部39の周りに形成する。続いて、取付縫製部53Aの他端まで縫製して、縫製を終了する。取付縫製部53Aは、基部32Bを横断せずに、補強布51内に形成される。
9 and 10 are diagrams showing two sewing patterns of the reinforcing cloth 51. FIG.
In the sewing pattern shown in FIG. 9, as in the case of the reinforcing cloth 40 (see FIG. 6), the attachment sewing portion 53 </ b> A and the reinforcing sewing portion 54 </ b> A are continuously connected and formed continuously by one sewing. The reinforcing cloth 51 and the main body cloth 34 are continuously sewn by the attachment sewing portion 53A and the reinforcing sewing portion 54A. In that case, sewing (refer FIG. 9A) is started from the end of the attachment sewing part 53A. After the attachment sewing portion 53A is formed to a predetermined position, the entire insertion portion 39 is surrounded and sewn. As a result, an annular reinforcing sewing portion 54 </ b> A (see FIG. 9B) is formed around the insertion portion 39 so as to surround the insertion portion 39. Subsequently, sewing is performed to the other end of the attachment sewing portion 53A, and the sewing is finished. The attachment sewing portion 53A is formed in the reinforcing cloth 51 without traversing the base portion 32B.
 図10に示す縫製パターンでも、取付縫製部53Bと補強縫製部54Bを連続して形成する。ただし、補強縫製部54Bは、挿入部39の一部(ここでは下半分)を囲むように挿入部39の周りに形成する。補強縫製部54Bは、挿入部39の一部に沿って形成されて、挿入部39の一部を囲む。補強縫製部54Bは、挿入部39の周りの一部を補強する。この補強縫製部54Bのように、固定布30の補強縫製部は、固定布30の補強すべき部分に応じて、様々な形状と位置に形成される。 In the sewing pattern shown in FIG. 10, the attachment sewing portion 53B and the reinforcement sewing portion 54B are continuously formed. However, the reinforcing sewing portion 54B is formed around the insertion portion 39 so as to surround a part of the insertion portion 39 (here, the lower half). The reinforcing sewing part 54 </ b> B is formed along a part of the insertion part 39 and surrounds a part of the insertion part 39. The reinforcement sewing portion 54 </ b> B reinforces a part around the insertion portion 39. Like the reinforcement sewing portion 54B, the reinforcement sewing portion of the fixed cloth 30 is formed in various shapes and positions according to the portion of the fixed cloth 30 to be reinforced.
