Problems solved by technology

[0031] However, in such side airbags, since the guide plate 34 is simply formed of a plate without sufficiently considering its strength, the guide plate 34 may be rotated with the lower wall of the case 32 when the airbag tube 36 is deployed, and because The gas pressure is damaged and comes into contact with the inner plate 26
[0032] Therefore, when the airbag tube 36 is introduced and deployed into the space between the center pillar trim 22 and the inner panel 26, it causes a problem that it is difficult to properly protect the occupant.
If the guide plate 34 is damaged, it will also cause serious problems in that it is impossible to replace the guide plate 34

[0084] A configuration of a guide plate for a side airbag according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described hereinafter with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6 .

[0085] Referring to FIG. 4, the side airbag 10a is installed in the roof side panel 20a. The side airbag 10a has a front end secured to the front pillar 50a by a buckle and a rear end having the inflator 40a and connected to the rear pillar 70a.

[0086] The guide plate 100 according to the present invention is installed on the top side plate 20a above the center pillar 60a. The side airbag housing 10 b is fitted between the holding member 120 and the supporting member 130 of the guide plate 100 .

[0087] Although not shown in the drawings, the side airbag 10a includes a sensor for sensing a collision of the vehicle and an electronic control unit for operating the inflator 40a in response to a signal from the sensor.

[0106] 7(a) to 7(c) illustrate the configuration of a guide plate according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0107] Referring to FIG. 7( a), the holding member 120 protruding from the surface of the fixing member 110 has an extended holding member 121 which is separately and integrally formed at both longitudinal ends of the holding member 120 to prevent force Expand in the upward direction.

[0108] Referring to FIG. 7(b), the support member 130 has extension members 131 which are separately and integrally formed at both longitudinal ends of the support member 130 to prevent it from interfering with the center pillar 60a when the side airbag 10a is deployed.

[0109] Referring to FIG. 7( c ), an engagement member 122 is formed on the distal end of the holding member 120 to be bent in a downward direction. The engagement member 122 securely holds the side airbag housing 10b and causes the side airbag tube 10c to expand reliably toward the head liner 80a when...

[0112] A guide plate for a side airbag according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 9 to 12 .

[0113] Referring to FIG. 11 , a side airbag 30 is installed facing a passenger space of a vehicle to protect occupants from injury. The side airbag 30 includes an airbag tube 36 folded multiple times, an airbag case 32 for receiving the airbag tube 36 , and an inflator connected to an end of the airbag tube 36 to inject high-pressure gas into the airbag tube 36 .

[0114] The airbag housing 32 has a door 32b on one side wall thereof, and has a mounting portion (not shown) at its upper end, which is bolted to the inner panel 26 . Each guide plate 200 is installed on the airbag case 32 at a predetermined position to support the lower surface of the airbag case 32 (see FIG. 12 ).

[0115] Referring to FIGS. 9 and 12 , the guide plate 200 is used for the side airbag 30 to support the lower surface of the airbag case 32 of the ...

Abstract

Provided is a guide plate used for a side air bag. The guide plate comprises a fixing element fixed on the inner surface of the vehicle body, a bearing element bending from the lower end of the fixing element and extending to the passenger space of the vehicle, and a keeping element extending from the surface of the fixing element to the passenger space of the vehicle. The guide plate prevents the side air bag from extending upwards. The force unfolding the side air bag pipe is concentrated so as to allow the side air bag pipe to unfold correctly by opening the head lining.

Description

[0001] Cross references to related applications [0002] This application claims the priority of Korean Utility Model Application No. 2006-0008880 filed on April 4, 2006, No. 2006-0010396 filed on April 18, 2006, and No. 2006-0010487 filed on April 19, 2006, which The disclosure of is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a guide plate for a side air bag, and more particularly, to a guide plate for a side air bag that prevents the side air bag from being deployed upwards, so that the side air bag is allowed to be easily deployed in the downward direction, and ensures that when the side air bag is deployed Deployment of successive side airbag tubes. Background technique [0004] As is generally known in the art, sensors are provided in air bags for automobiles to sense impact force when a collision or sudden stop occurs during high-speed driving. Therefore, when a signal is transmitted from the sensor dep...
