Beschreibung der ErfindungDescription of the invention
-Seitenairbag mit integriertem Prallpoister und Abstützung im Kopfbereich-Seitenairbags
üblicher Bauart zeichnen sich dadurch aus, daß diese den Thoraxbereich und den Kopf des Insassen zu schützen versuchen. Bislang ist keine ausreichende
Schutzmaßnahme des Kopfes bei Zerstörung der Seitenscheibe zu erzielen, da die stützende Wirkung der Seitenscheibe durch die Zerstörung derselbigen während
eines Seitencrashes verloren geht. Es lassen sich Möglichkeiten aufzeigen, zusätzliche
Energiespeicher mit entsprechenden Stützmechanismen im Bereich des Seitenairbags zu verwenden. Jedoch sind hiermit hohe Kosten verbunden. Mit
dieser Erfindung soll versucht werden, die kinetische Energie des Airbags auszunutzen, um eine Stütze zu aktivieren, welche bereits ein modifiziertes Bauteil
heutiger Fahrzeuge ist. Damit wird der Bereich des Seitenairbags gestützt, welcher
den Kopf und damit indirekt auch den Hals schützt.-Side airbag with integrated impact cushion and support in the head area-Side airbags
conventional designs are characterized by the fact that they attempt to protect the thorax area and the head of the passenger. Up to now, no adequate protection for the head has been achieved if the side window is broken, since the supporting effect of the side window is lost when it is destroyed during a side crash. There are ways to use additional energy storage with corresponding support mechanisms in the area of the side airbag. However, this is associated with high costs. This invention attempts to use the kinetic energy of the airbag to activate a support, which is already a modified component of today's vehicles. This supports the area of the side airbag, which protects the head and thus indirectly also the neck.
Die Stütze ist identisch mit einem Teil der Türinnenverkleidung und ist in Fig. 1 als
obere Abdeckung (3) ausgeführt. Hinter der Polsterung (5) (Türseitenverkleidung)
mit der oberen Abdeckung (3) liegt der gefaltete Airbag. Bei Zündung des Airbags
wird die Polsterung (5) Richtung Insassen bewegt und in einem sicheren Abstand
durch Fangbänder an einer weiteren Bewegung in Richtung des Insassen gehindert. Die obere Abdeckung (3) wird durch den sich entfaltenden Airbag in einer Führungsschiene,
welche sich im Türrahmen befindet, bis zur Endposition bewegt. Die Bewegung kann ausschließlich rotatorisch oder aber zusätzlich translatorisch um
den Gelenkpunkt (8) geschehen. Die obere Abdeckung, welche sich aus dem Verbund Türseitenpolsterung herauslöst, bildet somit die Stütze für den Kopf. Eine
rotatorische/translatorische Bewegung der oberen Abdeckung der Stütze gewährleistet in der Endstellung, daß bei unterschiedlich großen Insassen eine optimale
Stützwirkung erfolgt. Die durch die Bewegung der Stütze in die Endstellung sich ergebende größere Entfernung der Lagerpunkte vor/nach der Bewegung wird
entweder durch ein Verschiebestück in der Stütze realisiert oder aber durch ein Seil,
welches mit der maximal benötigten Länge bereits in der Stütze montiert ist.
Die Polsterung (3) wird großflächig an den Insassen herangeführt. Bei Kontakt des
Insassen mit der Polsterung wird der dahinterbefindliche Luftsack zusammengedrückt und gibt bei Verlagerung des lnsassens Richtung Tür sein
Gasvolumen in den oberen Teil des Seitenairbags ab. Durch die großflächige Abstützung des Insassen an der Polsterung wird der untere Teil des Airbags in
seiner Gesamtheit genutzt. Durch die großflächige Krafteinleitung werden lokale
Lastspitzen im Kontaktbereich zwischen Insassen und Polsterung vermieden und der Insasse besser geschützt.The support is identical to part of the interior door panel and is designed as the upper cover (3) in Fig. 1. The folded airbag is located behind the padding (5) (door side panel) with the upper cover (3). When the airbag is triggered, the padding (5) is moved towards the occupant and prevented from moving further towards the occupant by retaining straps at a safe distance. The upper cover (3) is moved to its end position by the unfolding airbag in a guide rail located in the door frame. The movement can be purely rotational or additionally translational around the hinge point (8). The upper cover, which detaches from the door side upholstery assembly, thus forms the support for the head. A rotational/translational movement of the upper cover of the support in the end position ensures that optimal support is provided for occupants of different sizes. The greater distance between the bearing points before/after the movement resulting from the movement of the support into the end position is realized either by a sliding piece in the support or by a cable which is already mounted in the support with the maximum required length.
The padding (3) is brought close to the occupant over a large area. When the occupant comes into contact with the padding, the airbag behind it is compressed and releases its gas volume into the upper part of the side airbag when the occupant moves towards the door. The large-area support of the occupant on the padding means that the lower part of the airbag is used in its entirety. The large-area force introduction prevents local load peaks in the contact area between the occupant and the padding and the occupant is better protected.

'*■ Titel der Erfindung'*■ Title of the invention
Seitenairbag mit integriertem Prallpolster und Abstützung im Kopfbereich.Side airbag with integrated impact pad and support in the head area.
Anwendung der ErfindungApplication of the invention
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf das Gebiet des Insassenschutzes in Kraftfahrzeugen.The invention relates to the field of occupant protection in motor vehicles.
Charakteristik der bekannten technischen LösungenCharacteristics of known technical solutions
• Seitenairbag• Side airbag
• Polsterungen.• Upholstery.
Ziel der ErfindungAim of the invention
Ziel der Erfindung ist es, die Insassen von Kraftfahrzeugen während eines Crashs über die Schutzwirkung bekannter Systeme hinaus zu schützen.The aim of the invention is to protect the occupants of motor vehicles during a crash beyond the protective effect of known systems.
Wesen der ErfindungEssence of the invention
Ausgehend vom Ziel der Erfindung besteht die Aufgabe darin, ein Sicherheitssystem für den Seitenaufprall zu entwickeln, das maximale Sicherheit für den Insassen gewährleistet. Based on the aim of the invention, the task is to develop a safety system for side impacts that ensures maximum safety for the occupant.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß der Entfaltungsvorgang des Airbags zur Positionierung einer Abstützung im Kopfbereich sowie zu einem Herausfahren der seitlichen Polsterung an den Insassen verwendet wird. Dadurch wird ein großflächiger Schutz des Insassen vor der beim Crash eindringenden Seitenstruktur erreicht.According to the invention, the object is achieved in that the deployment process of the airbag is used to position a support in the head area and to extend the side padding on the occupants. This achieves extensive protection of the occupant from the side structure penetrating in the event of a crash.
