As shown in Figure 5, when vehicle M was not subjected to collision from the side, the state in the safety air bag incorporating section 45 of cover body 40 is being kept and be folded, is being accommodated in to safety air bag 3.
When vehicle M was subjected to both collisions more than the sizing from the side, collision detection sensor detected this collision, and sends collision alarm to electronic control unit (not shown).In case when electronic control unit was judged as the side collision with this collision alarm, this electronic control unit sent ignition signal to aerator 60, makes the gas generant high-velocity combustion in the aerator 60, produces high pressure gas.Subsequently, by appendix P these high pressure gas are supplied with safety air bag 3.
As shown in figure 12, the safety air bag 3 that is folded in the cover body 40 expands under the effect of high pressure gas, burst bandage 50 (with reference to Fig. 5), and push roof sheathing 91 open, under the guiding of relatively internal face 41a, the 42a of wall 41,42, launch straight down thereafter to the inboard, compartment.At this moment; because cover body 40 is lid not; peristome 48 is always opening; and, because a pair of relative wall 41,42 is parallel to each other and downwardly facing opening, on this relative wall 41,42 everywhere opening direction and vertical direction between formed angle equate; so that safety air bag incorporating section 45 integral body are towards vertical direction or roughly towards the opening of vertical direction; thereby safety air bag 3 can be towards vertical direction, to the instantaneous swimmingly expansion of desirable direction, thereby provides protection to the occupant.
Especially as Fig. 8, shown in Figure 9, when overlooking cover body 40, be on the curve 44 of three-dimensional curve sigmoid, the wall 41b by the outside, compartment one side of wall 41 extends downwards relatively, thereby, the expansion direction of safety air bag 3 is subjected to this restriction, guiding by the sidewall 41b of the outside, compartment one side, and then launches to desirable direction.In addition, should lean on the fin shape reinforced rib 46c and car body 110 butts that are had on the sidewall 41b of the outside, compartment one side, thereby, should firmly be fixed on the car body 110 by the sidewall 41b of the outside, compartment one side.Moreover, dispose a plurality of reinforced ribs 46 on the connecting wall 43 of cover body 40 along the overall width direction, thereby, make cover body 40 strength enhancings, make its intensity and rigidity, to tackle from the external force on the overall width direction with appropriateness.In addition, be the cover body 40 and reinforced rib 46 quadratures in cross section of the shape of Japanese ideogram " コ ", thereby even if change the front and back position of reinforced rib 46, the confining force that it provided can remain unchanged also.
Thus, air bag system for vehicle 2 not only can be provided the expansion direction of homogeneous or cardinal principle homogeneous by peristome 48, can also be in the gamut of the fore-and-aft direction of vehicle, the expansion pressure that is subjected to safety air bag 3 existed the relative wall 41,42 that launches tendency to the overall width direction homogeneous or the bearing capacity of homogeneous substantially are provided, to limit this relative wall 41,42 opening on the overall width direction, thereby, make that the expansion direction of this air bag system for vehicle 2 is more stable.
