Definitions
- This invention relates to the field of automotive restraints. More particularly, it relates to a self-inflating restraint for protecting occupants of an automobile in the event of a vehicle roll-over.
- Airbags have been in use for a number of years to protect the front occupants of a vehicle from impacting the steering wheel, dash and/or the windshield during a front impact incident. And, airbags have recently been utilized to protect the occupants striking the side of the vehicle during side-impact and/or roll-over episodes.
- the airbag is stored, either in the seat, in the side pillar, or in proximate the conjunction of the headliner and the side panel of the vehicle in a deflated, and often folded, condition.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,529,332 issued to Wipasuramonton on June 25, 1996 and U.S. Patent No. 5,540,460 issued to Wipasuramonton on July 30, 1996, each disclose a side-impact airbag which is inflatable into a position between a vehicle occupant and the side structure of a vehicle. Due to the configuration and placement of the seat belts in certain vehicles, it may be desirable to allow the seat belt to pass through an opening in the airbag.
- the airbag upon deployment of the airbag, the airbag can bind and become ensnared by the seatbelt. Also, it is desirable to limit the displacement of the sides from each other during expansion. Further, those skilled in the art recognize that upon expansion a large amount of stress is placed upon the sealed edges of the airbag leading to potential rupture and failure of the airbag.
- a roll-over self-inflating restraint that is configured to allow a shoulder belt to pass through an opening the airbag and maintain a uniform opening to prevent the airbag from binding on the seat belt; that has a series of internal tethers specifically designed to limit the displacement of the sides from one another during expansion; and that has perimetrically reinforced sealed edges.
- a rollover airbag is provided.
- the roll-over airbag of the present invention is defined by an inflatable air bag constructed of an upper fabric panel having a perimeter of a pre-selected length and a lower fabric panel perimetrically bonded to the upper fabric panel.
- this joint is reinforced with a lap joint so as to distribute the stress of rapid inflation over a larger surface area of the fabric and thereby transform an otherwise tear stress into a shear stress.
- the fabric material is a woven nylon in which the interior has been treated, often with a neoprene coating, in order to be impermeable to the inflation fluid.
- At least one port opening is provided in the upper fabric panel for connecting the roll-over bag to an inflator to allow communication of the expansion fluid from the inflator to the roll-over airbag.
- the roll- over airbag further includes at least one tether disposed within the airbag for limiting displacement of the upper and lower fabric panels from one another.
- the tether has a first end bonded to the upper fabric panel and a second end bonded to the lower fabric panel.
- the length of the tether is preselected in order to determine the thickness and/or height of the expanded roll-over airbag.
- a passageway is disposed in the roll-over airbag. In this regard, an expandable through opening is provided in the roll-over airbag.
- Fig. 1 illustrates a top plan view of the roll-over airbag of the present invention.
- Fig. 2 illustrates a partial cross-sectional view of the roll-over airbag taken at lines 2 — 2 in Figure 1.
- Fig. 3 illustrates a partial cross-sectional view of the roll-over airbag taken at lines 3 — 3 in Figure 1.
- Fig. 4 illustrates a partial cross-sectional view of the roll-over airbag taken at lines 4 — 4 in Figure 1.
- Fig. 5 illustrates a partial cross-sectional view of an alternate embodiment of the tether utilized in the present invention.

- an inflatable airbag 12 constructed of an upper fabric panel 15 having a perimeter 18 of a pre-selected length and a lower fabric panel 20 perimetrically bonded to the upper fabric panel 15.
- both the upper and lower fabric panels 15 and 20, respectively are a woven nylon in which the interior has been treated, often with a neoprene coating, in order to be impermeable to the inflation fluid.
- other materials could be utilized so long as the result is an inflation fluid impermeable material.
- At least one port opening 25 is provided in the upper fabric panel 15 for connecting the roll-over bag 10 to an inflator (not shown) to allow communication of the expansion fluid (not shown) from the inflator to the roll-over airbag 10.
- the perimeter edges 18 and 22, respectively, of the upper and lower fabric panels 15 and 20 are bonded together.
- the upper and lower fabric panels 15 and 20 are secured by an ultrasonic or thermal weld.
- the upper and lower fabric panels 15 and 20 can also be secured by means of an adhesive which has a high degree of thermal stability.
- a lap joint 30 is utilized using an additional piece of fabric in order to distribute the stress over a larger surface area of the upper and lower fabric panels 15 and 20 and thereby transform the tear stress into a shear stress.
- at least one securement member 32 is disposed proximate the perimeter seal such that the upper portion 34 of the securement member 32 is bonded to the upper fabric panel 15 and the lower portion 36 of the securement member 32 is bonded to the lower fabric panel 20.
- the roll-over airbag 10 It is often desirable to limit the height and/or thickness of the roll-over airbag 10 by limiting the displacement of the upper and lower fabric panels 15 and 20 from one another during expansion of the rollover airbag 10.
- at least one tether member 40 is disposed within roll-over airbag 10 for limiting displacement of the upper and lower fabric panels 15 and 20 from one another.
- the tether 40 has a first end 45 bonded to the upper fabric panel 15, a center panel 50, and a second end 55 bonded to the lower fabric panel 20.
- the center panel has a preselected height selected to limit the thickness of the rollover airbag 10 to a range of approximately 2.5" to approximately 3.5".
- the ends 45 and 55 of the tether 40 can be bonded to a substrate 60 which is in turn bonded to the upper or lower fabric panel 15 or 20 in order to reduce the risk of rupture and to strengthen the bond between the tether 40 and the upper and lower fabric panels 15 and 20.
