The bellows folded portion 72 is accommodated in a position above the roll folded portion 71 of the accommodation portion 40 in a state where the rear inflating portion 21 in the deployed state of the airbag 20 is folded in a bellows shape. It is easy to deploy before the part 71.
 エアバッグ20のインフレータ挿入口26は、ロール折り部71及び蛇腹折り部72に含まれず、ロール折り部71より下方に配置されて、インフレータ30が挿入されている。なお、図6では、ロール折り部71及び蛇腹折り部72の収納状態を模式的に表す便宜上、インフレータ挿入口26からロール折り部71及び蛇腹折り部72の両方に分岐しているように図示されているが、上述のとおりインフレータ挿入口26は後方膨張部21に設けられるので、実際には蛇腹折り部72のみに接続する。このため、ロール折り部71と、蛇腹折り部72とは、先にガスが上方の蛇腹折り部72に供給可能となっている。 The inflator insertion opening 26 of the airbag 20 is not included in the roll folded portion 71 and the bellows folded portion 72, but is disposed below the roll folded portion 71, and the inflator 30 is inserted. In FIG. 6, for convenience of schematically showing the stored state of the roll folded portion 71 and the bellows folded portion 72, the roll folded portion 71 and the bellows folded portion 72 are illustrated as being branched from the inflator insertion opening 26. However, since the inflator insertion port 26 is provided in the rear inflatable portion 21 as described above, it is actually connected only to the bellows folded portion 72. For this reason, the roll folding part 71 and the bellows folding part 72 can supply gas to the bellows folding part 72 above first.
 また、ロール折り部71は、側方膨張部22A、22B、前方膨張部23A、23Bの順でガスを供給することで、側方膨張部22A、22Bが乗員Dの頭部Hより上方の位置で膨張展開し、前方膨張部23A、23Bが乗員Dの頭部Hより前方の位置で膨張展開するよう構成される。 The roll folding section 71 supplies the gas in the order of the side inflating sections 22A and 22B and the front inflating sections 23A and 23B so that the side inflating sections 22A and 22B are positioned above the head H of the occupant D. And the front inflatable portions 23A and 23B are inflated and deployed at a position forward of the head H of the occupant D.
 また、本実施形態では、収容部40の幅方向両側から車両前方側に延在する一対のアーム部材43を有する。アーム部材43は、例えば図7、図8に示すように収容部40のy方向両端にて収容部40と一体的に設けられ、フレーム64の幅方向外側を通って車両前方側へ延在している。なお、アーム部材43は、収容部40と別部材として設け、フレーム64など他部材に連結される構成でもよい。アーム部材43の延在方向は、例えばフレーム64の延在方向と直交し、斜め上方である。 In addition, in the present embodiment, there is a pair of arm members 43 extending from both sides in the width direction of the housing section 40 to the vehicle front side. The arm member 43 is provided integrally with the housing portion 40 at both ends in the y direction of the housing portion 40 as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, for example, and extends to the front side of the vehicle through the outside in the width direction of the frame 64. ing. Note that the arm member 43 may be provided as a separate member from the housing section 40 and connected to another member such as the frame 64. The extending direction of the arm member 43 is, for example, orthogonal to the extending direction of the frame 64 and is obliquely upward.
 一対のアーム部材43の先端部には、それぞれ一対の支持点41が設けられる。つまり、一対の支持点41は、収容部40より座席60の前方側、かつ座席60の幅方向両側に設けられる。また、本実施形態では、支持点41はフレーム64より車両前方側に配置される。 先端 A pair of support points 41 are provided at the distal ends of the pair of arm members 43, respectively. In other words, the pair of support points 41 are provided on the front side of the seat 60 with respect to the accommodation section 40 and on both sides in the width direction of the seat 60. Further, in the present embodiment, the support points 41 are arranged on the vehicle front side with respect to the frame 64.
 そして特に本実施形態では、エアバッグ20は、収納時にロール折り部71と支持点41とを連結する一対のタブ部材42(連結部材)を有する。タブ部材42は、エアバッグ20と同材料で形成される非膨張のパネルである。タブ部材42の一端は、支持点41にy軸まわりに回転可能に連結され、他端はロール折り部71に連結される。この他端は、図2に示すように、エアバッグ20の展開時には、エアバッグ20の側方膨張部22A、22Bの下部に連結される。 In the embodiment, in particular, the airbag 20 has a pair of tab members 42 (connecting members) for connecting the roll folded portion 71 and the support points 41 during storage. The tab member 42 is a non-inflated panel formed of the same material as the airbag 20. One end of the tab member 42 is connected to the support point 41 so as to be rotatable around the y-axis, and the other end is connected to the roll folding section 71. As shown in FIG. 2, the other end is connected to lower portions of the side inflatable portions 22A and 22B of the airbag 20 when the airbag 20 is deployed.
 タブ部材42は、エアバッグ20と支持点41とを連結できる連結部材であればよく、エアバッグ20とは異なる材料で形成してもよいし、エアバッグ20の膨張に併せて膨張するものでもよい。また、タブ部材42は、支持点41と連結される一端と、エアバッグ20に連結される他端との間を延在方向とする細長い帯形状であればよく、タブ部材42の代わりに、紐、帯、ベルト、ストラップなどの他の帯形状の要素に置き換えてもよい。 The tab member 42 may be any connecting member that can connect the airbag 20 and the support point 41, and may be formed of a material different from that of the airbag 20, or may be one that inflates with the inflation of the airbag 20. Good. Further, the tab member 42 may be an elongated band shape having an extending direction between one end connected to the support point 41 and the other end connected to the airbag 20, and instead of the tab member 42, It may be replaced with another band-shaped element such as a string, a band, a belt, or a strap.
 次に、図9~図13を参照して、エアバッグ装置10によるエアバッグ20の展開手順を説明する。図9~図13は、実施形態に係るエアバッグ装置10によるエアバッグ20の展開手順の第1~第5段階をそれぞれ示す図である。 Next, a procedure for deploying the airbag 20 by the airbag device 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 13 are diagrams showing first to fifth stages of the procedure of deploying the airbag 20 by the airbag device 10 according to the embodiment, respectively.
 まず図5、図6に示したように平常時(エアバッグ装置10非作動時)には、エアバッグ20は折り畳まれてシードバック内の収容部40に格納されている。そして、車両の衝突等により所定の閾値以上の衝撃を受けると、ECUによりインフレータ30が作動され、インフレータ30からエアバッグ20にガスが供給され始める。 First, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in normal times (when the airbag device 10 is not operated), the airbag 20 is folded and stored in the storage section 40 in the seed bag. Then, when a shock equal to or more than a predetermined threshold is received due to a vehicle collision or the like, the inflator 30 is operated by the ECU, and gas is started to be supplied from the inflator 30 to the airbag 20.
 図9に示す第1段階では、インフレータ30からガスが供給され始めると、まず上方の蛇腹折り部72にガスが供給されて膨張しはじめる。蛇腹折り部72は、蛇腹形状を展開しながらシートバック62の表面を破断してシート後方側に進出し、上方側かつシート後方側に展開しはじめる。 In the first stage shown in FIG. 9, when the gas starts to be supplied from the inflator 30, the gas is first supplied to the upper bellows folded portion 72 and starts to expand. The bellows folded portion 72 breaks the surface of the seat back 62 while developing the bellows shape, advances to the seat rear side, and starts to expand upward and to the seat rear side.
 図10に示す第2段階では、蛇腹折り部72の展開が完了すると後方膨張部21が形成される。その後ロール折り部71にガスが供給され始めると、ロール折り部71がロール状に折り畳まれた状態から展開すべく膨張しはじめる。このとき、膨張に伴い生じる膨張力によって、ロール折り部71は、シート背面側に展開した後方膨張部21から車両前方側かつ上方側へ反力を受ける。この反力によって、ロール折り部71は、斜め上方にヘッドレスト63を乗り越えるように展開する。つまり、先に展開して後方膨張部21が、ロール折り部71の展開方向を前方に促進させるための土台として機能する。また、ロール折り部71は上述のように上向き回りで巻かれているため、下向き回りに回転して展開する。 で は In the second stage shown in FIG. 10, when the deployment of the bellows folded portion 72 is completed, the rear expanding portion 21 is formed. Thereafter, when the gas starts to be supplied to the roll folding section 71, the roll folding section 71 starts to expand from the state of being folded in the roll shape so as to be developed. At this time, the roll folding portion 71 receives a reaction force from the rear expanding portion 21 deployed on the seat rear side to the front and upper sides of the vehicle due to the expanding force generated by the expansion. By this reaction force, the roll folding part 71 is deployed so as to get over the headrest 63 diagonally upward. That is, the rear inflation portion 21 which is first developed functions as a base for promoting the deployment direction of the roll folding portion 71 forward. Moreover, since the roll folding part 71 is wound upward, as described above, it is rotated downward and deployed.
 図11に示す第3段階では、ロール折り部71の膨張が進み、まずは側方膨張部22A、22Bが展開しはじめる。側方膨張部22A、22Bは車両前方側かつ上方側に膨張する。このとき、側方膨張部22A、22Bの下部に取り付けられているタブ部材42は、側方膨張部22A、22Bの膨張が進むと、やがてエアバッグ20と支持点41との間で伸張して張力を発生させる。この張力によって、エアバッグ20に支持点41側(この状態では下方向)への引張力が新たに付与されるので、エアバッグ20の展開方向は「車両前方側かつ上方側」から車両前方側に切り替わる。これにより、ロール折り部71の残り部分は、収容部40や後方膨張部21より車両前方側にある支持点41を中心に車両前方側へ回動して、車両前方側への展開が促進される。 で は In the third stage shown in FIG. 11, the expansion of the roll folding part 71 proceeds, and first, the lateral expansion parts 22A and 22B begin to expand. The lateral expansion portions 22A and 22B expand toward the front of the vehicle and upward. At this time, the tab member 42 attached to the lower part of the side inflatable portions 22A, 22B expands between the airbag 20 and the support point 41 as the inflates of the side inflatable portions 22A, 22B progress. Generate tension. With this tension, a new pulling force is applied to the airbag 20 toward the support point 41 side (downward in this state), so that the deployment direction of the airbag 20 is changed from “the vehicle front side and the upper side” to the vehicle front side. Switch to. As a result, the remaining portion of the roll folded portion 71 rotates toward the vehicle front side around the support point 41 located on the vehicle front side with respect to the housing portion 40 and the rear inflatable portion 21, and the deployment to the vehicle front side is promoted. You.
 なお、上述のとおり、支持点41は、座席60のシートバック62よりも車両前方側に配置されている。このため、エアバッグ20の展開方向が「車両前方側かつ上方側」から車両前方側に切り替わるタイミングを遅らせることができ、側方膨張部22A、22Bが充分に展開した後に展開方向を変えることが可能となるので、エアバッグ20が乗員Dの頭部Hを越えて展開するのを容易にできる。すなわち、支持点41の位置は、できるだけ車両前方側に配置されるのが好ましい。 As described above, the support point 41 is disposed on the vehicle front side of the seat back 62 of the seat 60. For this reason, the timing at which the deployment direction of the airbag 20 is switched from “vehicle front side and upper side” to the vehicle front side can be delayed, and the deployment direction can be changed after the side inflatable portions 22A and 22B are fully deployed. As a result, the airbag 20 can be easily deployed beyond the head H of the occupant D. That is, it is preferable that the position of the support point 41 be located as far as possible on the front side of the vehicle.
 図12に示す第4段階では、ロール折り部71からまず側方膨張部22A、22Bが形成されて乗員Dの頭部Hの側方を覆う。このときロール折り部71の残り部分は、頭部Hより前方に進出しており、また、側方膨張部22A、22Bの頭頂部29A、29Bが天井に突き当たり、天井からの反力により上向きの展開方向が下向きに切り替えられ、車両天井から下方に展開しはじめる。 In the fourth stage shown in FIG. 12, first, the lateral inflatable portions 22A and 22B are formed from the roll folding portion 71 to cover the side of the head H of the occupant D. At this time, the remaining portion of the roll folded portion 71 has advanced forward from the head H, and the top portions 29A and 29B of the side inflatable portions 22A and 22B abut against the ceiling, and the upward force due to the reaction force from the ceiling. The deployment direction is switched downward and begins to deploy downward from the vehicle ceiling.
 そして図13に示す第5段階では、ロール折り部71から前方膨張部23A、23Bが形成されて、乗員Dの頭部Hの前方部分も覆い、これにより乗員Dの前後左右方向の全方位を覆うエアバッグ20が形成される。なお、このとき、タブ部材42とエアバッグ20との接続位置は支持点41より前方にあるため、タブ部材42は、例えば座席60のシートバック62の上端や上部前面の表面に前後方向に沿って設けられるスリット等を通ってシートバック62から外部に進出しており、エアバッグ20の展開に伴って進出位置が前方側に推移している。 In the fifth stage shown in FIG. 13, the front inflated portions 23A and 23B are formed from the roll folded portion 71, and also cover the front portion of the head H of the occupant D, whereby the omnidirectional direction of the occupant D in the front, rear, left, and right directions is changed. An overlying airbag 20 is formed. At this time, since the connection position between the tab member 42 and the airbag 20 is located forward of the support point 41, the tab member 42 extends, for example, along the upper end of the seat back 62 of the seat 60 or the surface of the upper front surface in the front-rear direction. The airbag 20 has advanced outward from the seat back 62 through a slit or the like provided at the front end, and the advanced position has shifted to the front side with the deployment of the airbag 20.
 本実施形態に係るエアバッグ装置10の効果を説明する。 効果 The effects of the airbag device 10 according to the present embodiment will be described.
 本実施形態のエアバッグ装置10は、インフレータ30と、インフレータ30から供給されるガスにより展開するエアバッグ20と、座席60のシートバック62に配置され、インフレータ30によりガスが供給される前の非作動時のエアバッグ20を収容する収容部40と、を備える。エアバッグ20は、座席60の背面側に展開する後方膨張部21と、後方膨張部21の座席幅方向両側から前方に延びる一対の側方膨張部22A、22Bと、一対の側方膨張部22A、22Bから中央側へ延び中央で相互に連結されて乗員Dの前方を覆う一対の前方膨張部23A、23Bと、を有し、収容部40より座席60の前方側、かつ座席60の幅方向両側に設けられる一対の支持点41と、エアバッグ20と一対の支持点41とを連結するタブ部材42と、を有する。 The airbag device 10 of the present embodiment is disposed on the inflator 30, the airbag 20 that is deployed by the gas supplied from the inflator 30, and the seat back 62 of the seat 60, and the airbag 20 before the gas is supplied by the inflator 30. A housing section 40 for housing the airbag 20 when activated. The airbag 20 includes a rear inflatable portion 21 deployed on the back side of the seat 60, a pair of side inflatable portions 22A and 22B extending forward from both sides of the rear inflatable portion 21 in the seat width direction, and a pair of side inflatable portions 22A. , 22B extending to the center side and connected to each other at the center and covering the front of the occupant D, and has a pair of front inflatable portions 23A, 23B. It has a pair of support points 41 provided on both sides and a tab member 42 connecting the airbag 20 and the pair of support points 41.
 この構成により、エアバッグ装置10の作動時にエアバッグ20が膨張展開する際には、エアバッグ20と支持点41とを連結するタブ部材42によって、エアバッグ20に支持点41へ向かう方向への力、すなわち支持点41を中心としてエアバッグ20を前方へ回動させるための力をエアバッグ20に付与できる。また、一対の支持点41は収容部40やシートバック62よりも座席60の前方側に配置されているので、エアバッグ20の回動中心をより前方側にでき、エアバッグ20を前方側により一層展開させやすくできる。これにより、本実施形態のエアバッグ装置10は、ヘッドレスト63や乗員Dの頭部Hを確実に超えるようにエアバッグ20を展開可能となり、エアバッグ20を安定して展開できる。 With this configuration, when the airbag 20 is inflated and deployed when the airbag device 10 is operated, the tab member 42 connecting the airbag 20 and the support point 41 causes the airbag 20 to move in the direction toward the support point 41. A force, that is, a force for rotating the airbag 20 forward about the support point 41 can be applied to the airbag 20. In addition, since the pair of support points 41 are disposed on the front side of the seat 60 with respect to the accommodation section 40 and the seat back 62, the center of rotation of the airbag 20 can be more forward, and the airbag 20 can be moved forward. It can be more easily developed. Thereby, the airbag device 10 of the present embodiment can deploy the airbag 20 so as to reliably exceed the headrest 63 and the head H of the occupant D, and can deploy the airbag 20 stably.
 側方膨張部22A、22Bは、図11、図12を参照して説明したように、その展開時には乗員Dの頭部Hの後方側から前方側へ跨いでエアバッグ20の展開が行われるので、側方膨張部22A、22Bの展開中には先端の未展開部分ができるだけ早く乗員Dの頭部Hを越えて前方側に移動できるのが好ましい。本実施形態では、タブ部材42はエアバッグ20の側方膨張部22A、22Bに連結されるので、側方膨張部22A、22Bの展開中にタブ部材42によるエアバッグ20の前方側への回動を促進でき、エアバッグ20の未展開部分をヘッドレスト63や乗員Dの頭部Hを越えて前方側へ移動さえるのを容易にできる。これにより、エアバッグ20の展開のより一層の安定化が可能となる。 As described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12, the side inflatable portions 22A and 22B extend from the rear side to the front side of the head H of the occupant D when the airbag 20 is deployed. During deployment of the side inflatable portions 22A and 22B, it is preferable that the undeployed portion at the tip can move forward as soon as possible beyond the head H of the occupant D. In the present embodiment, since the tab member 42 is connected to the side inflatable portions 22A and 22B of the airbag 20, the tab member 42 rotates the airbag 20 forward during deployment of the side inflatable portions 22A and 22B. The movement can be promoted, and the undeployed portion of the airbag 20 can be easily moved to the front side beyond the headrest 63 and the head H of the occupant D. Thus, the deployment of the airbag 20 can be further stabilized.
 また、本実施形態では、タブ部材42は、エアバッグ20と同材料で形成される非膨張のパネルであるので、タブ部材42をエアバッグ20と一体的に成形でき、タブ部材42とエアバッグ20との接続位置の精度向上を図れる。また、タブ部材42がエアバッグ20と同材料であるので、タブ部材42の耐久性をエアバッグ20と同等に向上できる。 Further, in the present embodiment, since the tab member 42 is a non-inflated panel formed of the same material as the airbag 20, the tab member 42 can be formed integrally with the airbag 20. 20 can be improved in the accuracy of the connection position. Further, since the tab member 42 is made of the same material as the airbag 20, the durability of the tab member 42 can be improved as well as the airbag 20.
 また、本実施形態では、収容部40の幅方向両側から車両前方側に延在する一対のアーム部材43を有し、アーム部材43は、シートバック62内のフレーム64より前方側に先端部を有し、一対の支持点41は、一対のアーム部材43の先端部にそれぞれ設けられる。これにより、支持点41を確実に車両前方側に配置でき、また、支持点41の位置調整も容易にできるので、エアバッグ20の展開のより一層の安定化が可能となる。 Further, in the present embodiment, there is a pair of arm members 43 extending from both sides in the width direction of the accommodating portion 40 to the front side of the vehicle, and the arm members 43 have front end portions on the front side with respect to the frame 64 in the seat back 62. The pair of support points 41 are provided at the distal ends of the pair of arm members 43, respectively. Thus, the support point 41 can be reliably arranged on the front side of the vehicle, and the position of the support point 41 can be easily adjusted, so that the deployment of the airbag 20 can be further stabilized.

 上記実施形態では、エアバッグ装置10の収容部40がシートバック62内に格納される構成を例示したが、収容部40をヘッドレスト63の内部に格納する構成でもよい。 In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the storage unit 40 of the airbag device 10 is stored in the seatback 62 has been described, but the configuration in which the storage unit 40 is stored in the headrest 63 may be used.
 上記実施形態では、エアバッグ20として複数のパネルを縫製して一体的に形成する構造のものを例示したが、いわゆる一体製織(one piece woven:OPW)型のものでもよい。 In the above-described embodiment, the airbag 20 has a structure in which a plurality of panels are sewn and integrally formed. However, the airbag 20 may be a so-called one-piece woven (OPW) type.
 上記実施形態では、支持点41は、シートバック62に内蔵されるアーム部材43に設けられる、すなわち支持点41の位置をシートバック62内とする構成を例示したが、上述のとおり支持点41の位置はできるだけ車両前方側に配置されるのが好ましいので、支持点41の位置をシートバック62より車両前方側に配置する構成でもよい。例えば、エアバッグ20の膨張に伴って、アーム部材43の先端部がシートバック62内部から車両前方側に突き出る構造として、これにより支持点41をシートバック62より車両前方側に配置できる。また、支持点41の位置を、エアバッグ20の展開の段階に応じて段階的に移動させる構成とし、各段階における最適な位置に配置することもできる。 In the above embodiment, the support point 41 is provided on the arm member 43 built in the seat back 62, that is, the configuration in which the position of the support point 41 is set in the seat back 62 is exemplified. Since the position is preferably located on the vehicle front side as much as possible, a configuration in which the position of the support point 41 is located on the vehicle front side with respect to the seat back 62 may be employed. For example, as the airbag 20 is inflated, the distal end of the arm member 43 projects from the inside of the seat back 62 toward the front of the vehicle, so that the support point 41 can be disposed on the front side of the vehicle with respect to the seat back 62. Further, the position of the support point 41 may be moved stepwise according to the stage of deployment of the airbag 20, and may be arranged at an optimal position in each stage.
