Abstract

Le problème de l'invention consiste à proposer un dispositif de coussin de sécurité gonflable configuré de sorte qu'un gonfleur puisse être monté en utilisant une structure simple et de sorte que la quantité de flux de gaz vers l'extérieur puisse être réduite. La solution proposée par l'invention concerne un rideau gonflable (100) doté d'une section coussin (102), d'un gonfleur (106), et d'un déflecteur (154). Le gonfleur (106) est de forme cylindrique et comprend : des ouvertures de décharge de gaz (156) formées dans des parties de la surface latérale du gonfleur (106), les parties étant situées sur le côté d'extrémité avant du gonfleur (106) ; et un connecteur (158) ménagé sur l'extrémité arrière du gonfleur (106) et électriquement raccordé vers l'extérieur. Le déflecteur (154) est monté le long de la surface latérale du gonfleur (106). La section coussin (102) a une ouverture d'insertion de gonfleur (130) ayant un diamètre intérieur inférieur ou égal aux dimensions extérieures maximales du déflecteur (154) dans un état où le déflecteur (154) est monté sur la surface latérale du gonfleur (106). Le côté d'extrémité avant du gonfleur (106), sur lequel sont ménagées les ouvertures de décharge de gaz (156), est inséré à travers l'ouverture d'insertion de gonfleur (130) dans la section coussin (102), et le gonfleur (106) est monté sur la section coussin (102) tandis que l'extrémité arrière du gonfleur (106), sur laquelle le connecteur (158) est ménagé, est exposée à l'extérieur de la section coussin (102).
