In the situation of the tenth one side, with regard to the increase that vertical length is the transom height, vibrations have more effectively been absorbed.
In the head-protecting airbag of the 12 and ten three aspects :s, because forward extension is divided and the inflation of rear extendible portion, when automotive occupant divides with forward extension or extendible portion contacts afterwards, can be by the vibrations that partially absorb of correspondence.And, when forward extension divides with rear extendible portion drops down, because capsule is spurred, can promptly realize the expansion of capsule downwards.
In the situation of the head-protecting airbag aspect the 14, when capsule is regained, because the air that exists is discharged to the outside lentamente, can absorb reliably the vibrations from automotive occupant in the space that capsule forms later.
Below with reference to accompanying drawing the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described.
In the following description that provides; horizontal direction refer to vehicle forward and direction backward; install in a lateral direction according to head-protecting airbag of the present invention at this; and longitudinal direction refers to the direction up and down of vehicle, on this longitudinal direction head-protecting airbag according to the present invention is launched at vehicle interior.
To installing along the sidepiece of top panel such as following all head-protecting airbags according to various embodiments of the invention that will sequentially describe in detail (after this referred to as " air bag "); for example under the folded state of these air bags, extend from column A to column C; and when the side that vehicle occurs is hit or is tumbled; these air bags launch along the side surface inflation of vehicle interior and with the shape of heavy curtain; so that the front seats that is sitting in vehicle interior or the head of the automotive occupant on the back seat are protected; thereby prevent the side surface collision of head and the vehicle interior of automotive occupant, perhaps prevent from automotive occupant is dished out by the vehicle window.
Comprise at the air bag 90 shown in Fig. 1 (a): capsule 95, this capsule 95 curves '<' shape under inflated condition; And transom 91, this transom 91 is positioned at the side facing to car body of capsule 95, and the upper and lower of capsule 95 is interconnected.The roughly vertical centre portion corresponding with the middle part of capsule 95 of capsule 95 protrudes to automotive occupant.The distance of 95 protruding end is by Reference numeral 92 signs from transom 91 to capsule.Between the vertical centre portion 95c that protrudes and transom 91, form space 99.
Air bag 90 shown in Fig. 1 (b) ' capsule 95 ' in, the centre portion 95c ' of protrusion be arranged to than capsule 95 ' the middle part low.Capsule 95 when observing from the side ' be ' L ' shape.
Capsule 95 and 95 ' transom 91 and 91 ' made by fabric (sheet), band (tether), meshwork etc.In Fig. 1 (b), except door 93, window 94 and top panel 98, also show by capsule 95 ' the head H of the automotive occupant that blocks of centre portion 95c '.
Under the state of each capsule 95 and 95 ' inflation, the line of centers ' a ' from the thickness direction on the upwardly extending top of sweep of each capsule of each capsule moves closer to transom 91 in upward direction, and the sweep from each capsule of this capsule moves closer to transom 91 to the line of centers ' b ' on the thickness direction of the bottom of downward-extension in downward direction.
Fig. 2 (a) and 2 (b) are for showing the head H of the 90 pairs of automotive occupants of air bag that illustrated by Fig. 1 (a) and the view of the state that shoulder is protected.
With reference to figure 2 (a), the head H of automotive occupant contacts with the centre portion 95c of capsule 95 at first, thereby promotes capsule 95 to car body.The top 95a of capsule 95 and bottom 95b and transom 91 form triangular structure.Therefore, with head H to capsule 95 apply to promote the power F1 of capsule 95 to car body relative, in the top of capsule 95 95a and bottom 95b, produce antagonistic force F2 and F3, with act on respectively with the top 95a opposite sense parallel with bottom 95b on.As a result, head H is applied in making a concerted effort of antagonistic force F2 and F3, and just little by little mobile so that capsule 95 is pushed in the space 99.By this mode, the vibrations to head H have been absorbed gradually.Thereby head H reduces gradually to the speed that car body moves.
The result is shown in Fig. 2 (b), and capsule 95 contacts with window 94 or column (not shown) by transom 91, then depresses against car body under the effect of head.
In the state that Fig. 2 (b) illustrates, because significantly reduced the speed that head H moves to car body, so the antagonistic force that is acted on the head H by capsule 95 is less.
Fig. 2 (c) acts on the figure that the antagonistic force on the head H changes with the time course that occurs after vehicle side is hit for showing air bag.
Under the situation of air bag 90, because centre portion 90c blocks the fact of head H at first, although antagonistic force increases at first, after the initial period, only produce relatively low antagonistic force.
On the contrary, in the comparative example that air bag arranges near window, because head is just depressed air bag from beginning, the maxim of the antagonistic force that applies from air bag to head is greater than the maxim of the antagonistic force the situation of air bag 90.
