Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, since the above-mentioned conventional bracket assembly 18 includes the main bracket 14 and the auxiliary bracket 16, a complicated process is required to produce the bracket assembly 18
Also, when the auxiliary bracket 16 breaks, the bracket assembly 18 cannot maintain proper strength and act as a buffer

Embodiment Construction

[0015] A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] Figure 3 shows a perspective view of a knee bolster device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 A side sectional view showing the knee pad device shown in FIG. 3 .

[0017] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 , bracket 34 is mounted between support frame 20 extending laterally across the interior space of instrument panel 12 and knee bolster 10 mounted to instrument panel 12 .

[0018] The brackets 34 are individually approximately "S" shaped. Specifically, the bracket 34 can be divided into several parts: a semicircular hook part 36 , a first connecting part 38 , a second connecting part 30 , and a supporting part 32 .

[0019] The semicircular hook portion 36 is secured to the support frame 20 such that the bracket 34 is supported by the support frame 20 .

[0020] The first connecting portion 38 extends downward ap...

Abstract

A knee bolster apparatus comprises a knee bolster plate mounted on a instrument panel. A supporting frame transversely extends through an inner space of the instrument panel and includes a supporting bracket secured to the supporting frame and disposed to be opposite to the instrument panel. The supporting bracket is shaped as an 'S' as a single body such that the supporting bracket is relatively light weight and improves the efficiency of production and the performance requirement regarding strength and buffering of an occupants knees.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle knee bolster device, in particular to a knee bolster device with a bracket, which improves assembly efficiency and has proper strength. Background technique [0002] Generally, a knee bolster is a part of a vehicle that is mounted near the dashboard so that in the event of a frontal collision of the vehicle, the knee bolster is placed against the passenger's knees to act as a buffer to protect the passenger's knees. [0003] Figure 1 shows the structure of a conventional knee pad device. [0004] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the knee bolster 10 is mounted on a vehicle dashboard 12 and is supported by a bracket assembly 18 that includes a primary bracket 14 and a secondary bracket 16 . The bracket assembly 18 is secured to a support frame 20 connected to the vehicle body. [0005] figure 2 A perspective view showing the scaffolding structure. [0006] Such as figure 2 As shown, the main bracket 14 is in a “...
