- Example embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and will fully convey the scope to those who are skilled in the art. Numerous specific details are set forth such as examples of specific components, devices, and methods, to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the present disclosure. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that specific details need not be employed, that the example embodiment should not be construed to limit the scope of the present disclosure. Well-known processes, well-known device structures, and well-known technologies are not described herein in detail.
- a seat of a motor vehicle in accordance with the present teachings is illustrated and generally identified at reference character 10.
- the vehicle seat is a front or forward seat 10 of the vehicle.
- the terms“front seat” and “forward seat” as used herein shall be understood to mean that a further seat for a rear occupant may be behind the front or forward seat.
- the front or forward seat need not be the forward-most seat within a vehicle.
- the vehicle seat 10 includes an inflatable safety restraint system 12.
- forward vehicle seat 10 is shown in front of a rear seat 13.
- a passenger of the rear seat 13 is protected by the inflatable safety restraint system 12.
- the vehicle seat 10 conventionally includes a seatback 14 and a headrest 15.
- the seatback 14 has a front side 14A and a rear side 14B. It will be understood that the particular seat 10 illustrated is merely exemplary. In this regard, the present teachings may be adapted to various other seats within the scope of the present teachings.
- the inflatable safety restraint system 12 generally includes a housing 16 which is part of an airbag unit 18.
- the housing 16 is located in the rear side 14B of the seatback 14.
- the airbag unit 18 further includes an inflator 20 and an airbag 22.
- the inflator 20 may be in the form of a gas generator, for example.
- the airbag 22 may be of a multiple-piece construction with side panels to create a desired shape or profile, or alternatively may be a 2-panel or single panel“pillow” type construction which uses a combination of pleats, internal tethers, external tethers, and/or non-inflated regions to create the desired shape.
- the fabric of the airbag 22 may be OPW (one-piece woven), and may include internal woven-in-tethers and non-inflated areas (zero length tethers) to control cushion geometry and reduce complexity/cost.
- the airbag 22 may be normally stored within the housing 16. In this regard, the airbag 22 may be roll-folded, z- folded or otherwise stored in the housing 16.
- the airbag 22 is shown in an inflated or fully deployed state free of outside forces.
- the airbag 22 is shown in this view before the occupant encounters the airbag 22.
- the seatback 14 of the vehicle seat 10 is shown throughout the drawings within a standard inclination range between 15° and 45°.
- the term“fully inflated” may be used herein to reference the state of the airbag when it is deployed and free of outside forces.
- the forward and rearward vehicle directions are shown in the drawings at arrow F and arrow R (see Figure 1 ), respectively.
- An upward vertical direction is identified at reference arrow V.
- the term “rearward” will be understood to be rearward relative to the vehicle or in the direction of arrow R.
- the fully inflated airbag 22 is shown to extend rearwardly from the seatback 14 proximate an upper end of the seatback 14 and upwardly from the housing 16 of the airbag unit 18.
- the airbag 22 has a volume and size for properly covering the top of the seatback 14 and the headrest 15 and to thereby protect the rear seat occupant 13. It will be understood, however, that the particular configuration of the airbag 22 is exemplary and that the present teachings may be used with various other airbags deployable from a rear side 14B of a seatback 14. Some additional examples are shown in commonly assigned U.S. Serial No. 62/500,646. U.S. Serial No. 62/500,646 is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
- the airbag 22 is intended to extend substantially across a single seat 10 in a cross-car direction.
- the airbag 22 may have a volume between approximately 20L and 40L. It will be understood that this volume is exemplary and may be modified within the scope of the present teachings. It will also be understood that the width of the airbag may be increased to adapt the present teachings to protect multiple rear seat occupants.
- the headrest 15 is connected to the seatback 14 by at least one post 24.
- the at least one post 24 adjustably connects the headrest 15 with the seatback 14.
- the headrest may be height adjustable relative to the seatback 14.
- the at least one post 24 includes a first post 24A and a second post 24B. Each post 24 is elongated along a post axis A.
- the headrest may be height adjustable in a direction C parallel to the post axes A.
- Each of the posts 24 includes a lower end 26 mounted to a top 14C of the seatback 14.
- the lower ends 26 may be mounted to the seatback 14 in any suitable manner.
- the lower ends 26 of the posts 24 are fixedly mounted to the top of the seatback 14 such that the lower ends do not articulate or otherwise move relative to the seatback 14.
- the lower ends 26 of the posts 24 downwardly extend into the seatback 14 a maximum distance D.
- the maximum distance D is limited for purposes of increasing the packaging space available for the airbag unit 18 within the seatback 14.
- the maximum distance D is preferably no more than 100mm. More preferably, the maximum distance D is no more than 50mm. Most preferably, the maximum distance D is no more than 25mm. It will be appreciated that the present teachings allow a distance from the top 146 of the seatback 14 to the airbag unit 18 to be reduced.
- One resultant benefit is that the airbag size may be reduced by locating the airbag 22 in the seatback 14 closest to potential head impact. This provides flexibility to mount the airbag 22 very high in the seatback 14.
- Each of the posts 24 includes an upper end 28 telescopically received with the headrest 15.
- the headrest 15 may conventionally include detents that cooperate with the posts 24.
- the headrest 15 may include telescoping tubes that cooperate with the posts. It will be understood that the posts 24 may be adjustably received by the headrest 15 in any manner well known in the art.
- Each of the posts 24 is oriented relative to the airbag unit 18 in a position which the lower end 26 of each post is vertically above the airbag unit 18 with a line collinear with the axis of post elongation A intersecting the airbag unit 18.
- FIG. 1 Another vehicle seat in accordance with the present teachings is illustrated and generally identified at reference character 100.
- the vehicle seat 100 differs from the vehicle seat 10 in that the headrest 15 may articulate relative to the seatback 15 about an axis B. This articulable coupling between the seatback 15 and the posts 24 of the headrest 15 may be accomplished in any suitable manner.
- the lower ends of the posts 24 are angularly adjustable relative to the seatback 14. It will be understood, however, that the angular adjustment of the headrest 15 may be at any point along the posts 24 within the scope of the present teachings.
- the airbag 22 of the airbag unit 18 is shown in a stored condition, and the headrest 15 is shown in a lowered position.
- the airbag 22 is in a deployed position and the headrest 15 remains in the lowered position.
- the headrest 15 may be articulated about the pivot axis B between an upright position (shown in dashed lines) and a forward position (shown in solid lines).
- the headrest 15 is shown in the extended position.
- FIG. 7 and 8 another vehicle seat in accordance with the present teachings is illustrated and generally identified at reference character 200. Again, given the similarities between the vehicle seat 200 and the vehicle seat 10, common reference characters will be used to identify similar elements.
- the vehicle seat 200 principally differs from the vehicle 10 by incorporating at least one post 202 that is laterally disposed relative to the airbag unit 18.
- the headrest 15 is connected to the seatback 14 by at least one post 202.
- the at least one post 202 adjustably connects the headrest 15 with the seatback 14.
- the headrest 15 may be height adjustable relative to the seatback 14.
- the at least one post 202 includes a first post 202A and a second post 202B.
- Each post 202 includes a lower portion 204 coupled to the seatback 14 and an upper portion 206 coupled to the headrest 15.
- the posts 202 may be laterally spaced from an airbag unit 18 carried at the rear side 14B of the seatback 14. More particularly, the lower portions 204 of the posts 202 may be laterally spaced from an airbag unit 18.
- the at least the portion of the at least one post with the seatback 14 is disposed relative to the airbag unit 18 in an inboard or outboard direction. This lateral spacing of the posts 202 relative to the airbag unit 18 increases the packaging space available for the airbag unit 18 within the seatback 14.
- the headrest 15 may be height adjustable in a direction parallel to post axes A.
- the lower portions 204 of the posts 202 are telescopically received with the seatback 14.
- the seatback 14 may include detents that cooperate with the lower portions 204 of the posts 202.
- the seatback 14 may include telescoping tubes that cooperate with the lower portions 204 of the posts 202. It will be understood that the lower portions 204 of the posts 202 may be adjustably received by the seatback 14 in any manner well known in the art.
- the lower portions 204 of the posts 202 define the axes A along which the headrest 15 moves relative to the seatback 14.
- Each of the posts 202 may further include an intermediate portion 208 between the lower portion 204 and the upper portion 206.
- the intermediate portion 208 may be perpendicular to both the lower portion 204 and the upper portion 206. If the headrest 15 is sufficiently wide (i.e., in a cross-car direction), the upper and lower portions 206 and 204 may be collinear with one another.
- each post 202 may be fixedly secured to the headrest 15 such that there is no movement between the upper portion 206 and the headrest.
- the upper portion 206 of each post 202 may be telescopically received by the headrest 15 (e.g., in a manner discussed above with regard to the embodiment of Figures 1 -3) and the lower portions 204 may be fixed to the seatback 14 such that there is no movement between the lower portions 204 and the seatback 14.
- the headrest 15 may articulate/pivot relative to the upper portions of the posts 202 (e.g., to provide the articulation discussed about with regard to the embodiment of Figures 4-6).
- the present teachings provide embodiments of a vehicle seat that allow for a rear occupant airbag with a reduced airbag cushion size while achieving proper coverage of the top of the seatback 14 and headrest 15.
- the present teachings overcome significant challenges due to the reduced packaging space available in the seatback proximate the top of the seatback.
- the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
- first, second, third, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms may be only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another region, layer or section. Terms such as“first,” “second,” and other numerical terms when used herein do not imply a sequence or order unless clearly indicated by the context. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings of the example embodiments.
- Spatially relative terms such as “inner,” “outer,” “beneath,” “below,” “lower,” “above,” “upper,” and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. Spatially relative terms may be intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as “below” or “beneath” other elements or features would then be oriented “above” the other elements or features. Thus, the example term “below” can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.
