Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schutzvorrichtung für Fahrzeuginsassen, geeignet für jede Art von Fortbewegungsmittel, z. B. PKW, LKW, Busse, Flugzeug usw. und in eingeschränkter Form auch für Krafträder.The invention relates to a protective device for vehicle occupants, suitable for any type of transportation, e.g. B. cars, trucks, Buses, planes, etc. and, to a limited extent, also for motorcycles.
Der bisherige Verletzungsschutz für die Insassen in den aufgeführten Fortbewegungsmitteln und Geräten ist durch Sicherheitsgurte, Airbag und anderen Sicherheitsmaßnahmen bislang unzureichend gelöst, da die Insassen bei Unfällen, die quer zur Fahrtrichtung erfolgen, durch seitliche Fensterscheiben, Holme und Schweller, ebenso durch den Unfallkontrahenten schwere bis tötliche Verletzungen erleiden können. Desweiteren können bei Schleudervorgängen Fahrzeuge durch seitliche Aufprallereignisse gleichermaßen zu den erwähnten Verletzungen führen.The previous protection against injury for the occupants listed in the Means of transportation and equipment is through seat belts, airbag and other security measures so far inadequately solved because in the event of accidents that occur transversely to the direction of travel side window panes, bars and sills, also through the Accident contractors suffer serious to fatal injuries can. Furthermore, vehicles can spin by side impact events equally to those mentioned Cause injury.
Der Erfindung liegt die Überlegung zugrunde, daß bei seitlichen Aufprallunfällen, d. h. die Stoßrichtung erfolgt quer zur Fahrt- bzw. Sitzrichtung und auch bei allen anderen Unfallgeschehen, die sich aus seitlicher Richtung zum Insassen ereignen, ein optimaler Verletzungsschutz sichergestellt wird. Dies wird mittels eines Luftkissens, welches in der Grundkonzeption wie die bisher bekannten Airbagkonstruktionen gestaltet ist, bewirkt, wobei auch andere technische Lössungen, wie z. B. gefaltete Schaumgummimatten usw. verwendet werden können. Diese technischen Hilfsmittel sind ein bereits bekannter Teil der Erfindung, die primäre Erfindungsleistung liegt jedoch in der Anordnung bzw. in der Unterbringung dieser Hilfsmittel. Dabei werden die vorhandenen Fahrzeugkomponenten, wie Kopfstützen, Rückenlehnen, obere Längsholme und Türverkleidungen im Fensterbereich nach der jeweiligen Sinnfälligkeit zur Unterbringung dieser Hilfsmittel verwendet.The invention is based on the consideration that in the event of a side impact, d. H. the direction of impact is transverse to the direction of travel or sitting and also in all other accidents that arise from occur sideways to the occupant, an optimal protection against injury is ensured. This is done using an air cushion, which in the basic concept like the previously known airbag constructions is designed, with other technical solutions, such as. B. folded foam mats, etc. can be used. These technical aids are an already known part of the invention, however, the primary inventive feat lies in the arrangement or in the accommodation of these aids. The existing ones Vehicle components such as headrests, backrests, upper longitudinal bars and door panels in the window area after the used to accommodate these aids.
Beispielsweise wird bei einem PKW für die Fondinsassen die Kopfstütze und für die Frontinsassen der obere, der Einstiegstür zugeneigte Rücklehnenbereich, aber auch der Kopfstützenbereich als optimaler Anbringungsort dieser Verletzungsverhütungsvorrichtung angesehen. For example, in a car for the rear passengers, the headrest and for the front occupants the upper one, inclined to the entrance door Backrest area, but also the headrest area as optimal location for this injury prevention device viewed.
Für die Funktionsbeschreibung wird beispielsweise die Kopfstütze als Vorrichtungsträger der Sicherheitsvorrichtung beschrieben:For the functional description, for example, the headrest described as device carrier of the safety device:
Ein Teil des Innenraumes der Kopfstütze (1) ist so ausgestaltet, daß ein Airbag (3′) oder dergleichen, eine dazugehörige Aufblasvorrichtung (5) und eine Auslösevorrichtung (6) Platz findet. Der seitliche Außenbereich der Kopfstütze umfaßt den Verschlußdeckel (2) mit Verschluß und Scharnier (4).A part of the interior of the headrest ( 1 ) is designed so that an airbag ( 3 ') or the like, an associated inflator ( 5 ) and a trigger device ( 6 ) can be accommodated. The lateral outer area of the headrest includes the closure cover ( 2 ) with closure and hinge ( 4 ).
Erfolgt ein Aufprall aus seitlicher Richtung, so wird über die Auslösevorrichtung (6) die Aufblasvorrichtung (5) aktiv und bläst unter öffnen des Verschlußdeckels (2), der wiederum die Ausstoßrichtung des Airbags oder dergleichen bestimmt, die Schutzvorrichtung in Richtung Frontscheibe heraus. Da dies, wie bekannt, in einem sehr kurzen Zeitablauf erfolgt, liegt dieser bereits zwischen den gefährlichen und zu den Verletzungen führenden Fahrzeugteilen. Hier ist im besonderen der obere Längsholm (13), der obere und seitliche Türrahmen (12), das Seitenfenster (7) und die Mittelsäule (8) besonders herauszustellen. Beim dann erfolgenden Aufprall des Schulter- insbesondere Kopfbereiches mindert die dazwischenliegende Schutzvorrichtung (3) die Verletzungsgefahr.If there is an impact from a lateral direction, the inflation device ( 5 ) is activated via the release device ( 6 ) and blows out the protective device in the direction of the windscreen while opening the closure cover ( 2 ), which in turn determines the direction in which the airbag is ejected or the like. As is known, this takes place in a very short period of time, which is already between the dangerous vehicle parts and those which lead to injuries. In particular, the upper longitudinal spar ( 13 ), the upper and side door frames ( 12 ), the side window ( 7 ) and the center column ( 8 ) should be particularly emphasized. If the shoulder area, in particular the head area, then collides, the protective device ( 3 ) in between reduces the risk of injury.
Dieser Vorgang wird in Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellt.This process is shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
Zum Unterschied des herkömmlichen Airbags weist dieser Airbag konstruktive Unterschiede in der Form (3″) und der Bauart auf, insbesondere durch die Distanzschnüre (17) und den auf beiden Seiten liegenden Endplatten (18) auf. Durch diese zusätzlichen Teile (17 und 18) erhält das Luftkissen (Airbag 3″) eine schmale, in der Fläche jedoch eine rechteckige oder eine andere angebrachte geometrische Form. Eine weitere Möglichkeit wird dadurch erzeugt, daß mehrere Zwischenstege (3′″) den Airbag, ähnlich einer Luftmatratze, formen, wobei das Maß X für die Länge der Zwischenstege maßgebend ist und das Maß Y für die Gesamtlänge des aufgeblasenen Airbags steht. Das Maß Z ist nach den gegebenen Einbaumöglichkeiten zu bestimmen.In contrast to the conventional airbag, this airbag has structural differences in shape ( 3 ″) and construction, in particular due to the spacer cords ( 17 ) and the end plates ( 18 ) lying on both sides. These additional parts ( 17 and 18 ) give the air cushion (airbag 3 ″) a narrow, but in the surface a rectangular or other attached geometric shape. Another possibility is created in that several intermediate webs ( 3 ′ ″) form the airbag, similar to an air mattress, the dimension X being decisive for the length of the intermediate webs and the dimension Y standing for the total length of the inflated airbag. The dimension Z is to be determined according to the given installation options.
Diese Darstellung ist in Fig. 4 und 5 aufgezeigt. This representation is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
Fig. 1 stellt den rechten Vordersitz, in Sicht aus Richtung der Frontscheibe dar, wobei die Kopfstütze (1) mit der Aufblasvorrichtung (5), mit dem zunächst gefalteten Airbag (3′) und dann im aufgeblasenen Zustand (3), der Rückenlehne (15), der Sitzfläche (14), dem unteren Längsträger (11), der inneren Türverkleidung (10), der Türaußenhaut (9), den weiteren Möglichkeiten zur Unterbringung der Schutzvorrichtung (19 und 20) sowie den oberen Längsholm (13) und den Türrahmen (12), wobei die beiden letzteren Fahrzeugteile auch zur Aufnahme der beschriebenen Schutzvorrichtung dienen können, bezeichnet sind. Fig. 1 shows the right front seat, in view from the direction of the front window, the headrest ( 1 ) with the inflator ( 5 ), with the airbag ( 3 ') first folded and then in the inflated state ( 3 ), the backrest ( 15 ), the seat surface ( 14 ), the lower side member ( 11 ), the inner door trim ( 10 ), the outer door skin ( 9 ), the other options for accommodating the protective device ( 19 and 20 ) and the upper side member ( 13 ) and the Door frame ( 12 ), wherein the latter two vehicle parts can also serve to accommodate the protective device described.
Fig. 2 stellt die in Fig. 1 beschriebene Darstellung in der Draufsicht dar, wobei der seitliche Verschlußdeckel (2) mit Scharnier und Verschluß (4) erkennbar sind. Fig. 2 shows the representation described in Fig. 1 in plan view, the side closure cover ( 2 ) with hinge and closure ( 4 ) can be seen.
Fig. 3 stellt die noch nicht aktiv gewordene Schutzvorrichtung in der Kopfstütze, sowie in der weiteren Anbringungsmöglichkeit (19) dar. Fig. 3 shows the protective device not yet active in the headrest, as well as in the further attachment option ( 19 ).
