- the wire 60 can be reliably held on the piston 20.
- the piston 20 and the wire 60 can be shortened, the cost of the piston 20 and the wire 60 can also be reduced. Since the weight of the piston 20 and the wire 60 is reduced, the weight of the pretensioner 1 can be reduced.
- the overall length of the cylinder 10 is shortened, so that the weight of the cylinder 10 can be reduced.
- the connecting hole 24 of the piston 20 is formed so as to gradually expand, a part of the folded portion 63 of the wire 60 is disposed in the connecting hole 24. Thereby, the length of the folding
- the retaining member 52 is a ring-shaped member surrounding the wire 60, the retaining member 52 can be easily attached to the folded portion 63. By using the ring-shaped retaining member 52, the retaining member 52 can be prevented from being detached from the folded portion 63, and the folded portion 63 can be securely held.
- the retaining member 52 may be a member having a shape other than the ring shape, for example, a block-like member or a pin-like member disposed between the folded portion 63 and the piston 20.
- the anchor 2 is composed of the tubular member 2A in which the seat belt connecting portion 61 of the wire 60 is inserted, the structure of the anchor 2 can be simplified. In addition, the anchor 2 can be reduced in size, and the anchor 2 can be easily manufactured. With the anchor 2 made of the tubular member 2A, high strength can be obtained even with a simple shape.
- the wire 60 from the holding member 46 to the anchor 2 becomes longer as the anchor 2 becomes smaller.
- the anchor 2 can be reduced in size, the wire 60 from the holding member 46 to the anchor 2 can be lengthened. As a result, the length of the wire 60 drawn into the cylinder 10 can be increased.
- the seatbelt connecting portion 61 can be firmly fixed to the anchor 2 by fixing the seatbelt connecting portion 61 in the tubular member 2A. Since the length of the tubular member 2A and the seat belt connecting portion 61 may be a length that can prevent the seat belt connecting portion 61 from coming off the tubular member 2A, the tubular member 2A and the seat belt connecting portion 61 can be shortened. As a result, the anchor 2 can be shortened and reduced to reduce the weight of the anchor 2.
- the length of the wire 60 from the holding member 46 to the anchor 2 needs to be longer than the length of the wire 60 drawn into the cylinder 10.
- the total length of the wire 60 can be further shortened.
- the seat belt connecting portion 61 can be shortened, the wire 60 can be shortened and the weight of the wire 60 can be reduced. Therefore, the weight of the pretensioner 1 can be reduced and the total length of the pretensioner 1 can be shortened. Since the manufacturing cost of the anchor 2, the material cost of the anchor 2, and the material cost of the wire 60 are reduced, the cost of the pretensioner 1 can be reduced.
- the anchor 2 can be easily processed.
- the seat belt connecting portion 61 can be securely and firmly fixed to the anchor 2. Since the two end portions 64 and 65 of the wire 60 are respectively inserted into the hollow portions 2B and 2C from the opposite ends of the tubular member 2A, both ends of the tubular member 2A can be evenly pulled by the wire 60.
- the seat belt 101 can be easily passed through the anchor 2. Moreover, it becomes difficult to cut
- the two end portions 64 and 65 of the wire 60 may be inserted into the hollow portions 2B and 2C from the end portion on the same side of the tubular member 2A. Further, the seat belt connecting portion 61 may be a portion other than the end portions 64 and 65 of the wire 60. In this case, the wire 60 is inserted into the tubular member 2A so that the seat belt connecting portion 61 is positioned in the tubular member 2A.
- the pretensioner 1 is assembled by combining the gas generator 4, the housing 30, the cylinder 10, the base 40, and the like. At that time, as described above, since the components of the pretensioner 1 are easily combined, the pretensioner 1 can be easily assembled. Further, since the labor and time for assembling the pretensioner 1 can be reduced, the number of steps for assembling the pretensioner 1 and the cost of the pretensioner 1 can also be reduced.
- the assembled pretensioner 1 can be easily fixed to the vehicle body by the fixing member 3 that fixes the base 40. By combining these components, the structure of the pretensioner 1 can be simplified.
- the cost of each part can be reduced. Since the gas generator 4 is held in the holding portion 32 of the housing 30, the gas generator 4 can be easily held in the pretensioner 1. In the pretensioner 1, the number of parts can be reduced and the overall weight can be reduced. By guiding the pressing portion 42 of the base 40 by the guide portion 16 of the cylinder 10, the pressing portion 42 can be accurately arranged with respect to the housing 30. When the pretensioner 1 is operated, the wire 60 can be reliably supported by the fixing member 3. Since the force applied to the wire 60 is received by the fixing member 3, the strength of the base 40 can be made lower than before. Accordingly, the base 40 can be formed from a material (for example, an aluminum alloy or a synthetic resin) having a lower strength than conventional ones.
- a material for example, an aluminum alloy or a synthetic resin
- the pretensioner 1 can be easily attached to the vehicle body.
- the fixing member 3 is attached to the vehicle body, the base 40 and the cylinder 10 are connected by the fixing member 3, so that the base 40 and the cylinder 10 can be connected easily and firmly.
- the strength of the pretensioner 1 is ensured by the fixing member 3 and the cylinder 10, and the gas flows directly into the cylinder 10 from the inflow hole 15. Therefore, the housing 30 does not need to be a pressure vessel. Since the strength of the housing 30 may be lowered, the housing 30 may be formed of a material having a lower strength than the conventional one, or may be thinner than the conventional one. Since the housing 30 and the cylinder 10 are provided with the pair of positioning portions 18 and 39 (protrusion 17 and groove 38), the housing 30 can be accurately mounted on the cylinder 10.
- the position of the gas generator 4 (the holding part 32 of the housing 30) can be set to an arbitrary position on the outer periphery of the cylinder 10 by changing the position of the inflow hole 15. Therefore, the gas generator 4 can be arranged at an arbitrary position in the circumferential direction of the cylinder 10. Further, it is possible to easily cope with a difference in layout for each vehicle and a difference in attachment position of the pretensioner 1.
- the positions of the inflow hole 15 and the positioning portion 18 (projection 17) of the cylinder 10 are changed corresponding to the position of the gas generator 4.
- the positions of the inflow hole 15 and the positioning portion 18 are changed while maintaining the positional relationship between the inflow hole 15 and the positioning portion 18.
- the inflow hole 15 and the positioning portion 18 are formed in the cylinder 10 at the changed position.
- the housing 30 can be mounted on the cylinder 10 without changing the positions of the opening 33 and the positioning portion 39 (groove 38) of the housing 30. Even if the position of the gas generator 4 is changed, the same housing 30 can be used, so that the position of the gas generator 4 can be easily changed.
- an increase in cost required for changing the position of the gas generator 4 can be suppressed.

Abstract
Description
この従来のプリテンショナでは、ワイヤの一端部が、ピストンの孔に挿入されて、筒状のワイヤエンドによりピストンに固定される。その際、ワイヤエンドを潰すことで、ワイヤエンドがワイヤの一端部に固定される。ピストンの移動時には、ワイヤは、ピストンにより引っ張られて、シートベルトを引っ張る。
そのため、前記従来のプリテンショナでは、ワイヤの保持力に対応して、ワイヤエンドを含むピストンが、長く、かつ、重くなる傾向がある。また、ワイヤのワイヤエンドに固定される部分も長くなるため、ワイヤの重量も増加する。その結果、プリテンショナのコストが高くなるとともに、プリテンショナの重量が増加する。
ところが、ベースカートリッジは大きく、重いため、ベースカートリッジの取り扱いは困難である。このベースカートリッジをシリンダに固定する必要があるため、プリテンショナの組み立てに手間がかかる。また、ベースカートリッジには、上記と同様に、ガス発生装置がキャップにより固定される。従って、従来のプリテンショナでは、固定用の加工と複雑な組み立て作業が必要であり、ベースカートリッジの複雑な構造に起因して、プリテンショナの構造も複雑になる。
また、本発明の他の目的は、プリテンショナの構造を簡略にするとともに、プリテンショナの組み立てを容易にすることである。
本実施形態のプリテンショナは、車両用のシートベルト装置に用いられて、乗員が装着したシートベルトを引っ張る。
乗員110は、図示のように、シート111に座ってシートベルト装置100を装着する。シート111は、シートクッション112とシートバック113を有する。シートベルト装置100は、車両に搭載されてシート111(運転席、助手席、後部席等)に付設される。
図2は、プリテンショナ1の側面図である。図3は、図2に示すプリテンショナ1の断面図である。図4は、図2のX-X線で切断したプリテンショナ1の断面図である。図5は、分解したプリテンショナ1の斜視図である。
プリテンショナ1は、図示のように、筒状のシリンダ10と、ピストン20と、ハウジング30と、ベース40と、固定部材3を備えている。これらプリテンショナ1の部品は、それぞれ金属により所定形状に形成されている。また、プリテンショナ1は、連結部材50と、ガス発生装置4を備えている。
ハウジング30は、図示のように、筒状部31の内周に形成された保持部32の開口部33を有する。開口部33は、筒状部31内で、シリンダ10の外周に嵌合する内面に設けられている。保持部32の内部は、開口部33により、筒状部31の内部と繋がる。
アンカ2は、図示のように、直線状に延びる管状部材2Aからなる。管状部材2Aは、例えば、押出成形により所定の断面形状に成形されたアルミニウム管であり、並列する2つの中空部2B、2Cを有する。中空部2B、2Cは、それぞれ管状部材2Aを長手方向に貫通する孔を有する。
プリテンショナ1が作動すると(図8参照)、ガス発生装置4が発生するガスにより、ピストン20が、シリンダ10内を他端部13まで移動する。ピストン20の移動に伴い、ワイヤ60(連結部材50)は、ピストン20により引っ張られて、シートベルト101を引っ張る。
図10は、他の実施形態の抜け止め部材70を示す斜視図である。図11は、ワイヤ60の折り返し部63に配置した抜け止め部材70を示す図である。図11Aは図3に対応する断面図であり、図11Bは図4に対応する断面図である。図11では、ピストン20の周辺部分のみ示す。
ここでは、図示のように、シートベルト101の一端部を車体に固定して、プリテンショナ1をバックル105に取り付ける。バックル105は、アンカ2(図12では図示せず)に通したボルトにより、アンカ2に固定される。従って、バックル105とタング104を介して、アンカ2がシートベルト101に取り付けられるとともに、ワイヤ60がシートベルト101に連結される。プリテンショナ1は、ワイヤ60により、バックル105、タング104、及び、シートベルト101を引っ張る。このように、アンカ2をシートベルト101に間接的に取り付けてもよく、ワイヤ60(連結部材50)をシートベルト101に間接的に連結してもよい。
