Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälterdeckel gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a container lid according to the preamble of claim 1.
Ein derartiger Behälterdeckel ist aus der DE-OS 30 29 913, B60R 21/10, in der Weise bekannt, daß auf einer stabilen Wand des Handschuhkastendeckels ein energieverzehrend nachgiebiges Knieaufschlagelement angeordnet ist. Eine derartige Ausbildung des Behälterdeckels stellt somit einerseits eine Ver kleidung des eigentlichen Deckels und damit einen Schutz gegen Ver letzungen beim Auftreffen als auch - wenn auch in geringem Maße - eine Verzögerung des Fahrzeuginsassen bei einem Aufprallunfall des Fahrzeugs sicher. Diese Verzögerung ist jedoch sehr begrenzt, da der durch die "Dicke" des Aufschlagelements gegebene Deformations weg nur klein ist; anderenfalls würde der so gestaltete Behälter deckel den Bewegungsspielraum der Fahrzeuginsassen in nachteiliger Weise verringern.Such a container lid is from the DE-OS 30 29 913, B60R 21/10, known in such a way that on a stable wall of the glove box cover an energy consuming compliant knee impact element is arranged. Such Formation of the container lid thus represents a ver clothing of the actual lid and thus protection against ver results on impact as well as - albeit to a small extent - a delay in the vehicle occupant in the event of an impact Vehicle safe. However, this delay is very limited because the deformation given by the "thickness" of the impact element away is only small; otherwise the container so designed would cover the freedom of movement of vehicle occupants in disadvantageous Reduce way.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen gattungsgemäßen Be hälterdeckel unter Wahrung seiner Vorteile zu schaffen, der in er heblich verstärktem Maße zum Zurückhalten des vor ihm sitzenden Fahrzeuginsassen bei einem Unfall beiträgt.The invention has for its object a generic Be to keep the lid while preserving its benefits in it considerably increased measure to hold back the person sitting in front of him Contributes to vehicle occupants in an accident.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht in den kenn zeichnenden Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs, vorteilhafte Ausführungen der Erfindung beschreiben die Unteransprüche. The inventive solution to this problem consists in the drawing features of the main claim, advantageous embodiments the invention describe the subclaims.
Zwar ist die Unterbringung von Airbags in der Schalttafel von Kraftfahrzeugen bekannt, jedoch dienen hierfür spezielle Ausnehmun gen und Vertiefungen in der Schalttafel, die mittels eines zusätz lichen Deckels abgedeckt sind. Die Erfindung nutzt demgegenüber ein ohnehin vorhandenes Bauteil, nämlich einen Behälterdeckel bei spielsweise für ein Handschuhfach, zur Unterbringung eines speziel len Rückhalteelements, nämlich eines Airbags, aus, das die Beson derheit aufweist, daß es seine volle Betriebsgröße erst im Bedarfs fall, d. h. bei einem Crash, einnimmt. Dies ermöglicht es, den Ab stand zwischen den beiden Deckelwänden, also sozusagen die Tiefe des Deckels, relativ klein zu halten, ohne daß dadurch der durch das Rückhalteelement zur Verfügung gestellte Deformationsweg nach teilig begrenzt wird.The placement of airbags in the dashboard is from Motor vehicles known, but special exceptions serve for this gen and recesses in the control panel, which by means of an additional cover are covered. In contrast, the invention makes use of component already present, namely a container lid for example for a glove compartment, to accommodate a special len retaining element, namely an airbag, which the Beson shows that it only needs its full size when it is needed case, d. H. in a crash. This enables the Ab stood between the two lid walls, so to speak the depth of the lid, to keep it relatively small, without the through the deformation path provided by the retaining element is partially limited.
Unter einem Deckel soll im Rahmen der Erfindung auch die Vorderwand eines Schubfachs verstanden sein.Within the scope of the invention, the front wall should also be under a cover a drawer.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand der Zeichnung erläutert, die einen Längsschnitt durch den Bereich eines in der Armaturentafel eines PKW vorgesehenen Handschuhfachs zeigt.An embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the Drawing explains a longitudinal section through the area of a shows the glove compartment provided in the dashboard of a car.
Der Aufbau der Armaturentafel 1 interes siert im einzelnen nicht, zumal die Erfindung unabhängig von einem speziellen Aufbau derselben einsetzbar ist. Es sei lediglich darauf hingewiesen, daß die Armaturentafel 1 mittels des Querträgers 2, der sich zwischen den beiden A-Säulen des Fahrzeugs erstreckt, gehalten und versteift ist und daß sie in bekannter Weise Luftführun gen 3 für eine Belüftungs- bzw. Heizungsanlage aufnimmt.The structure of the dashboard 1 is not of interest, especially since the invention can be used independently of a specific structure of the same. It should only be pointed out that the dashboard 1 by means of the cross member 2 , which extends between the two A-pillars of the vehicle, is held and stiffened and that it takes up in a known manner Luftführungsun conditions 3 for a ventilation or heating system.
Da Handschuhfach 4 ist mittels des um die querverlaufende Schwenkachse 5 verschwenkbar gehaltenen Behälterdeckels 6 wahlweise verschlossen oder - in der strichpunktiert ange deuteten Lage des Behälterdeckels 6 - geöffnet.Since the glove compartment 4 is either closed by means of the container cover 6 which can be pivoted about the transverse pivot axis 5 or - in the position indicated by the dash-dotted lines of the container cover 6 - opened.
Zwischen den beiden mit Abstand verlaufenden Wänden 7 und 8 des Be hälterdeckels 6, von denen die letztgenannte Wand 8 steif ausgebildet ist, erkennt man den einen üblichen Aufbau besitzenden Gas generator 9 eines Airbags 10, der im zusammengelegten Zustande in dem Zwischenraum zwischen den beiden Wänden 7 und 8 untergebracht ist.Between the two spaced walls 7 and 8 of the loading container lid 6 , of which the latter wall 8 is rigid, one can see the gas generator 9 of an airbag 10 which has a conventional structure and which, in the collapsed state, in the space between the two walls 7 and 8 is housed.
Während die zweite Wand 8 möglichst starr ausgeführt ist, besitzt die erste Wand 7 eine Zone 11 verringerter Festigkeit, so daß die erste Wand 7 bei Aktivierung des Airbags 10 unter dem Druck desselben nachgibt und der Airbag 10 in Richtung auf den Fahrzeugin sassen austreten kann. Zu diesem Zweck besitzt die Trägerschicht 12 der ersten Wand 7 einen Spalt 13; außerdem ist in der Zone 11 verringerter Festigkeit die Polsterauflage 14 der ersten Wand 7 mit einer Reißzone 15 versehen, so daß bei Aktivierung des Airbags 10 dieser unter Zer störung der ersten Wand 7 schnell in Richtung auf den Fahrzeugin sassen austreten kann.While the second wall 8 is made as rigid as possible, the first wall 7 has a zone 11 of reduced strength, so that the first wall 7 yields under the same pressure when the airbag 10 is activated and the airbag 10 can exit in the direction of the vehicle passengers. For this purpose, the carrier layer 12 of the first wall 7 has a gap 13 ; In addition, in the zone 11 of reduced strength, the cushion pad 14 of the first wall 7 is provided with a tear zone 15 , so that when the airbag 10 is activated, this can quickly disrupt the first wall 7 in the direction of the vehicle occupants.
Mit der Erfindung ist demgemäß ein gattungsgemäßer Behälterdeckel 6 geschaffen, der ohne Beeinträchtigung des Bewegungsraums der Fahr zeuginsassen im normalen Fahrbetrieb einen wirksamen Insassenschutz bei einem Auffahrunfall sicherstellt.With the invention, a generic container lid 6 is accordingly created, the vehicle occupant ensures effective occupant protection in a rear-end collision without impairing the range of motion of the driving in normal driving.
