Abstract
An inflatable head impact protection device (airbag), for vehicle occupants is constructed of two or more layers of thermoplastic coated fabrics 10,20 welded together. The preferred welding method used to form the airbag is high/radio frequency welding. The fabric layers 30,40 may be of Polyamide or Polyester and may be coated with a thermoplastic layers 50,60 such as Polyurethane. The welded joint 70 provides a strength bearing and gas tight seam.

PATENT SPECIFICATION 2331955
Inflatable Head Impact Protection Device for Occupants of Transportation vehicles Technical Field.
This invention relates to an inflatable head impact protection device for occupants of transportation vehicles and specifically to the textile component of a system.
is Backwound Protection of vehicle occupants from the forces and intrusions produced by impact situations is nowadays afforded by a wide range of means, including but not limited to; safety belts, padded surfaces, deformable seating and fascia structures, inflatable air bags and inflatable tubular structures.
The latter two are devices which have been adopted more and more recently as improved levels of protection are desirable and market and legislative forces have dictated.
The so called'airbag' is characterised hitherto by being a structure of woven textile, enclosing a volume (when in its inflated condition) and having means to attach to a solid structure, means to allow ingress of the inflating medium (normally gas such as nitrogen) and in some cases means to allow a controlled deflation during impact, thereby attenuating loads to acceptable levels and optimising what is known as'ride down' of the particular occupant.
Where 'controlled' deflation is required it is achieved by vents i.e. discrete holes cut in the body of the assembly, by a permeable outer surface itself or even by the characteristics of the gas used to inflate the device, especially it's reduction in pressure due to heat losses. Such'discrete vented'devices are well known and permeable 'vented'devices are disclosed in GB 2 199 261 A & US 5,193,847.
A further variation on such known and practised devices is in the means of constructing togeither two or more surfaces. Originally vulcanisation of uncured rubber was used and now typically sewing is utilised, as described in GB 2 239 433 A or GB 2 242 167 A. Alternatively a means of weaving together two layers directly on the loom, to create a fully enclosed volume is also utilised, as described in WO 89105250.
More recently in response to newly developed legislation, such as additions to FMVSS 201 which include requirements for maximum injury levels when impacting interior surfaces; a new family of protective devices have been developed. These devices have certain specific performance requirements new to this field of engineering
2- including the need to remain inflated for a minimum 5 seconds. This allows the device to provide protection over the expected time duration of a vehicle rollover, for instance.
One such device is an 'inflatable Tubular Structure', this being a protective device in tube form which does not vent itself but remains rigid for a significant period, allowing it to be tensioned across two mount points and provide a restraint effect 5.5 without any support surface behind its immediate load direction. This device, disclosed in US 5,322,322 is characterised by being constructed from a braided textile tube which has certain important extension properties and furthermore by having no 'venting' at all.
This latter mentioned ITS has significant benefits but is also costly to produce, the textile part being a relatively slow manufacturing process and the additional components required, as a result of the textile chosen, being very costly.
Another such device is an Inflatable Curtain as disclosed for instance in WO 95112504 and WO 95121753. Such devices are mounted in a vehicle roof and deployed downwards to cover a substantial part of the side window of a road vehicle and provide impact protection.
Essential Technical Features According to the present invention there is provided an inflatable protective device which is constructed of two or more fabric layers which, in contrast to the conventional vulcanisation, sewing or unitary weaving, are discretely joined together by a welded joint in the desired shape. This provides both the load bearing and gas tightness functions of a joint in one operation.
This invention therefore, is a product which performs as desired in the aforementioned devices whilst being significantly less costly to produce. It has the advantage also of less bulk and stiffness in the seam allowing the device to be packed away in it's stowed condition in a smaller space.
A typical embodiment is shown in fig 1 indicating, in side view a device deployed inside a road vehicle. Referring to the drawing the roof line of a vehicle is indicated as 10. The device 20 has outer form in inflated state of a cut edge of fabric indicated by 30 with attachment points 40 to the vehicle structure. The welded outer volume defining seam is indicated by 60 and internal seams 70 are provided to create a quilting effect. A gas inlet 80 is provided for attachment to an inflating device.
The two fabrics are created of a base substrate, coated with a suitable material.
The fabric consists of normally synthetic yams, for instance Polyamide 4. 6, 6 or 6.6 or Polyester. Yams in a range 105 to 470 decitex are used with fabric constructions ranging from 17 to 80 per centimetre in warp and weft. A person skilled in the art would readily calculate suitable constructions and weave patterns consistent with the technical requirements including the application of coatings to create the gas sealing barrier and welding medium.
3 In the case of the coating a thermoplastic material such as polyurethane would be suitable for high frequency welding of the two or more fabrics. Moreover the coating is also suited to the output of modern inflators which in many cases have lower temperature gases and furthermore will retain it's performance characteristics over the potential range of operating temperatures and humidities.
The sealed joint as shown in figure 2 is made by placing the two layers of fabric together and high frequency welding them. A person skilled in the art will be conversant with such technology but in brief a tool which forms part or all of the seam shape required is placed on the fabrics, laid upon a special table or bed. The tool is then vibrated at high frequency and under pressure to provide energy which creates heat at the fabrics interface, melting the thermoplastic material and forming a bond. Alternatively Hot Air welding may be used. In this case a nozzle between the two fabrics heats the coating and then the fabrics pass through rollers which apply pressure and form the joint.
Examples ( specific).
One embodiment of the Inflatable Head Impact Protection Device is a device made of Polyurethane coated Polyamide ( Nylon) fabric. The two surfaces are welded together under pressure and high frequency vibration to form the sealed joint. Fabric of 235 dTex Pa 6.6 f68 yam with plain weave construction of 29 warp yarns per centimetre and 27.5 weft yarns per centimetre is coated with 45 grammes per square metre of polyurethane compound. Figure 2 shows a cross section of a high frequency welded joint where a seam of 8mm width is made spaced 15mm in from the outer edge in the case of the outside volume defining seam. In this figure 10 and 20 are two coated fabric layers, each comprising the woven substrate, 30 and 40 represented by warp ends and weft yarns, with an adhering coating, 50 and 60. The coating is joined in a homogenous form indicated by 70. In plan, the seam is discontinuous on the outer edge thereby creating a gas inlet. Additional patterns are also welded in the inside of this seem to create additional joints and also to provide attachment points to the hard structure of the vehicle.
