[0055] The base may include a distal end. The base may include a channel extending from the distal end along the channel to the first end. The channel may be open to the channel.

[0056] The width of the channel may be greater than the width of the trench.

[0057] The extension portion may be disposed within the extension receiving portion.

[0058] The airbag strap anchoring arrangement may include a pin that releasably mounts the bracket to the base.

[0059] The pin may be designed to break when the draw strap is pulled by the inflating air bag.

[0060] The base may include a distal end. The base may include a channel extending from the distal end to the first end. The drawstring may be disposed in the channel and extend through the distal end.

[0061] The bracket may be configured to slide along the track to a compressed position when the bracket is released from being mounted to the base. The spring may be compressed between the base and the bracket in the compressed position.

[0062] The bracket may include a distal end that abuts the base when in the compressed position.

[0063] The bracket may include an extension portion. The base may include an extension receiving portion defining a channel. The extension portion may be disposed in the channel when in the compressed position.

[0064] Referring to the drawings, the airbag system 20 includes an airbag 22 and a base 24. The base 24 defines a track 26 extending from a first end 28 to a second end 30. The airbag system 20 includes a bracket 32 ​​releasably mounted to the base 24 and removable from the base 24 at the second end 30. The airbag system 20 includes a drawstring 34 extending from the bracket 32 ​​and secured to the airbag 22. The airbag system 20 includes a spring 36 disposed at the first end 28 and between the bracket 32 ​​and the base 24. Specifically, the airbag system 20 includes an airbag drawstring anchoring device. The base 24, the bracket 32, the drawstring 34, and the spring 36 are components of an airbag drawstring anchoring device 37. The airbag system 20 may include any suitable number of airbag drawstring anchoring devices 37. For example, the airbag system 20 shown in the drawings includes two airbag drawstring anchoring devices 37. Each draw strap anchoring device 37 may be identical, and common numbers are used to identify common features.

[0065] Once inflated, the airbag 22 applies a force to the drawstring 34. The drawstring 34 applies this force to the bracket 32. The action of the force on the bracket 32 ​​releases the bracket 32 ​​from being releasably mounted to the base 24. The bracket 32 ​​slides along the track 26 toward the first end 28 and compresses the spring 36. When the force is removed—for example, when the airbag 22 deflates—the spring 36 pushes the bracket 32 ​​toward the second end 30, where the bracket 32 ​​pops out of the base 24.

[0066] The airbag system 20 may include a seat 38 . The seat 38 supports the airbag 22 and the base 24 .

[0067] Figure 1 and Figure 2The seat 38 shown in FIG. 5 is a bucket seat 38 , but alternatively the seat 38 may be a bench seat or other type of seat.

[0068] The seat 38 may include a seat back 40, a seat bottom 42, and a headrest 44. The headrest 44 may be supported by the seat back 40 and may be fixed or movable relative to the seat back 40. The seat back 40 may be supported by the seat bottom 42 and may be fixed or movable relative to the seat bottom 42. The seat back 40, the seat bottom 42, and / or the headrest 44 may be adjustable in multiple degrees of freedom. Specifically, the seat back 40, the seat bottom 42, and / or the headrest 44 may themselves be adjustable, in other words, adjustable components within the seat back 40, the seat bottom 42, and / or the headrest 44 may be adjusted relative to each other.

[0069] The seat bottom 42 and / or the seat back 40 may include a frame 46 and a cover supported on the frame 46. The frame 46 may include a tube, a beam, etc. The frame 46 may be formed of any suitable plastic material, such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), glass fiber reinforced semi-finished thermoplastic composite material (organic board), etc. As another example, some or all components of the frame 46 may be formed of a suitable metal, such as steel, aluminum, etc.

[0070] The covering may include an upholstery and padding. The upholstery may be formed of cloth, leather, artificial leather, or any other suitable material. The padding may be sewn into the panel around the frame 46. The padding may be located between the covering and the frame 46 and may be foam or any other suitable material.

[0071] The seat 38 may be included in a vehicle 47. The vehicle 47 may be any passenger or commercial vehicle, such as a car, truck, sport utility vehicle, crossover, van, minivan, taxi, bus, etc. The vehicle 47 may include a passenger cabin. The vehicle 47 may include a floor, a roof, a dashboard, etc.

[0072] The airbag 22 may be moved from an uninflated position ( Figure 1 ) to the inflated position ( Figure 2 ). For example, the airbag 22 can be inflated to transition from an uninflated position to an inflated position. The airbag 22 can be supported by a seat 38, a floor, a roof, a dashboard, etc.

[0073] The airbag 22 may be formed from a braided polymer or any other material. As an example, the airbag 22 may be formed from braided nylon yarn, such as nylon 6-6. Other examples include polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyetherketoneketone (PEKK), polyester, etc. The braided polymer may include a coating, such as silicone, neoprene, polyurethane, etc. For example, the coating may be a polyorganosiloxane.

[0074] The airbag 22 is a component of an airbag module 48. The airbag module 48 may include a housing 50, a gas generator 52, and the airbag 22. The gas generator 52 and the airbag 22 may be disposed in the housing 50 in an uninflated position. The housing 50 provides a reaction surface for the airbag 22 in an inflated position. The housing 50 may be supported by the seat 38, a floor, a roof, an instrument panel, etc. The housing 50 may be formed of any material, such as a rigid polymer, a metal, a composite material, etc.

[0075] The drawstring 34 extends from the bracket 32. The drawstring 34 is fixed to the airbag 22. The drawstring 34 may be fixed to the airbag 22 with a stitch, an adhesive, or the like. The drawstring 34 may be fixed to the bracket 32 ​​with a fastener 66, an adhesive, or the like. The drawstring 34 defines a deployment direction DD of the airbag 22. The deployment direction DD is the direction of the force applied to the bracket 32 ​​by the drawstring 34 during inflation of the airbag 22, i.e., the extending direction of the drawstring 34 between the bracket 32 ​​and the point P where the drawstring 34 is fixed to the airbag 22.

[0076] The draw strap 34 may extend from the first end 28 of the track 26 of the base 24. The draw strap 34 may be disposed within a channel 54 (described below) of the base 24. The draw strap 34 may extend through a distal end 56 of the base 24.

[0077] The base 24 defines the track 26. For example, the base 24 may include a planar portion 58 and a pair of side walls 60. The side walls 60 are spaced apart from each other by a distance D1. The side walls 60 extend perpendicular to the planar portion 58. The side walls 60 extend parallel to each other. Each side wall 60 may include a hole 62. The track 26 may be defined by the planar portion 58 and the side walls 60. The track 26 may have other designs, such as a T-slot, a groove, etc.

[0078] The track 26 extends from the first end 28 to the second end 30. The first end 28 is spaced apart from the second end 30. The track 26 may define a longitudinal direction LD. The longitudinal direction LD extends between the first end 28 and the second end 30. The longitudinal direction LD may be parallel to the sidewall 60.

[0079] The base 24 may include a hole 64. The hole 64 may be configured to receive a fastener 66. For example, the fastener 66 may be a bolt, and the hole 62 may be sized to receive the shaft of the bolt. The fastener 66 may secure the base 24 to the seat 38, such as to the frame 46.

[0080] The base 24 can include a distal end 56. The distal end 56 can be spaced apart from the first end 28.

[0081] The base 24 may include an extended receiving portion 68. The extended receiving portion 68 defines a channel 70. The channel 70 may be cylindrical. The channel 70 may extend along the longitudinal direction LD. The channel 70 may be open to the track 26. The channel 70 may extend from the first end 28 toward the distal end 56. The channel 70 may terminate before reaching the distal end 56. For example, the channel 70 may terminate at an abutment surface 72 of the base 24. The abutment surface 72 may be spaced from the distal end 56. The channel 70 may be located at the first end 28. The channel 70 defines a width W1. The width W1 may be a diameter of the cylindrical shape of the channel 70.

[0082] The channel 70 may be designed to allow an extension portion 74 (described below) to be slidably received therein. For example, the channel 70 may be larger than the extension portion 74 , that is, the width W1 of the channel 70 may be larger than the diameter D2 of the extension portion 74 .

[0083] The base 24 may include a channel 54. The channel 54 may be defined by a pair of opposing sidewalls 76. The channel 54 may extend from the distal end 56 to the first end 28. The channel 54 may extend along the channel 70. The channel 54 may be open to the channel 70. The channel 54 may define a width W2. The width W2 may be the distance between the pair of opposing sidewalls 76. The width W2 of the channel 54 may be less than the width W1 of the channel 70. In other words, the width W1 of the channel 70 may be greater than the width W2 of the channel 54.

[0084] The base 24 may be formed from a rigid polymer, a metal, a composite material, or any other suitable material.

[0085] The bracket 32 ​​may include a main portion 78 , an extension portion 74 , and a distal end 80 .

[0086] The main portion 78 may have an elongated rectangular shape. The main portion 78 may define a width W3. The main portion 78 may include an aperture 82. The aperture 82 may extend between opposing sides of the main portion 78.

[0087] The extension portion 74 extends from the main portion 78. The extension portion 74 can be cylindrical in shape. The cylindrical shape of the extension portion 74 defines a diameter D2. The diameter D2 of the extension portion 74 can be less than the width W3 of the main portion 78. The distal end 80 can be on the extension portion 74 opposite the main portion 78. The extension portion 74 can be disposed within the extension receiving portion 68, i.e., within the passage 70.

[0088] The bracket 32 ​​may be formed from a rigid polymer, metal, composite material, or any other suitable material. The bracket 32 ​​may be formed from the same type of material as the base 24 .

[0089] The bracket 32 ​​is releasably mounted to the base 24. For example, a pin 84 can releasably mount the bracket 32 ​​to the base 24. The pin 84 can be received in the holes 62, 82 of the side wall 60 and the main portion 78. The size of the pin 84 can be designed to be press-fit into one or more holes 62, 82. The pin 84 is designed to break when the drawstring 34 is pulled when the airbag 22 is inflated to the inflated position. For example, the size, shape, material, etc. of the pin 84 can be selected to allow the pin 84 to break under the action of the force generated during the inflation of the airbag 22 to the inflated position, which is applied to the bracket 32 ​​through the drawstring 34. The pin 84 can be formed of a rigid polymer, a metal, a composite material, or any other suitable material. Additionally or alternatively, the bracket 32 ​​can be releasably mounted to the base 24 by spot welding, an adhesive, etc.

[0090] The bracket 32 ​​is configured to slide along the track 26 when the bracket 32 ​​is released from being mounted to the base 24, for example, when the pin 84, spot weld, adhesive joint, etc. are broken due to inflation of the air bag 22. For example, the width W3 of the main portion 78 and the diameter D2 of the extension portion 74 can be less than the distance D1 between the side walls 60 defining the track 26. The bracket 32 ​​can slide along the track 26 between the first end 28 and the second end 30, for example, between the side walls 60.

[0091] The bracket 32 ​​can slide to a compressed position (eg Figure 7 and 8 ). In the compressed position, the bracket 32 ​​can be located at the first end 28. In the compressed position, the distal end 80 of the bracket 32 ​​can abut the base 24. For example, the distal end 80 can abut the abutment surface 72. In the compressed position, the position of the extension 74 can be set in the channel 70.

[0092] The spring 36 can be disposed at the first end 28 and between the bracket 32 ​​and the base 24. For example, the spring 36 can be disposed between the main portion 78 of the bracket 32 ​​and the first end 28. The spring 36 can be disposed outside the channel 70. The spring 36 can surround the extension portion 74, for example, the extension portion 74 can be disposed within the spring 36. When the bracket 32 ​​is in the compressed position, the spring 36 can be compressed between the base 24 and the bracket 32. The spring 36 can push the bracket 32 ​​in a direction DO opposite to the deployment direction DD of the airbag 22. The spring 36 can push the bracket toward the second end 30. The bracket 32 ​​is removable from the base 24 at the second end 30 (e.g., Fig.10 shown).

[0093] The airbag system 20, and in particular the drawstring anchor 37, may include a ramp 86. The ramp 86 may be supported by the base 24. The ramp 86 may be disposed at the second end 30. The ramp 86 may be disposed between the side walls 60. The ramp 86 may be disposed between the hole 64 of the base 24 and the bracket 32. The bracket 32 ​​may be disposed between the ramp 86 and the spring 36. The ramp 86 provides a reaction surface to eject the bracket 32 ​​from the base 24. For example, the spring 36 may push the bracket 32 ​​into abutment with the ramp 86, for example, to subsequently remove a force applied to the drawstring 34 during inflation of the airbag 22.

[0094] Reference Fig.11 , the vehicle 47 includes a collision sensing system 88. The collision sensing system 88 may include at least one collision sensor 90 for sensing a collision of the vehicle 47, and a computer 92 in communication with the collision sensor 90 and the gas generator 52. When the collision sensor 90 senses a collision of the vehicle 47, the computer 92 may activate the gas generator 52—for example, by providing a pulse to a pyrotechnic charge of the gas generator 52. In addition to or in addition to sensing a collision, the collision sensing system 88 may be configured to sense a collision prior to a collision—that is, pre-crash sensing.

[0095] The collision sensor 90 may communicate with the computer 92. The collision sensor 90 is configured to detect a collision with the vehicle 47. The collision sensor 90 may be of any suitable type, for example, a rear contact sensor (e.g., an accelerometer, a pressure sensor, and a contact switch), and a pre-crash sensor (e.g., a radar, a lidar, and a vision sensing system). The vision system may include one or more cameras, a CCD (charge coupled device) image sensor, a CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) image sensor, etc. The collision sensor 90 may be located at multiple points in or on the vehicle 47.

[0096] The computer 92 may be a microprocessor-based computer 92 implemented by circuits, chips or other electronic components. For example, the computer 92 may include a processor, a memory, etc. The memory of the computer 92 may include a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor and for electronically storing data and / or databases.

[0097] The gas generator 52 may inflate the air bag 22 with an inflatable fluid medium (e.g., gas) upon receiving a signal, for example, from the computer 92. The gas generator 52 may be, for example, a pyrotechnic gas generator 52 that utilizes a chemical reaction to drive an inflation medium to the air bag 22. The gas generator 52 may be of any suitable type, such as a cold air gas generator 52.

[0098] The computer 92 and the collision sensor 90 may be connected to a communication bus 94 of the vehicle 47, such as a controller area network (CAN) bus. The computer 92 may use information from the communication bus 94 to control activation of the gas generator 52. The gas generator 52 may be connected to the computer 92, such as Fig.11 As shown, the gas generator 52 may alternatively be connected directly to the communication bus 94 .

[0099] In operation, the airbag 22 of the airbag system 20 is in an uninflated position under normal operating conditions of the vehicle 47. In the event of a collision, the collision sensor 90 may detect the collision and send a signal to the computer 92 via the communication bus. The computer 92 may send a signal via the communication bus to the gas generator 52. The gas generator 52 may exhaust gas and inflate the airbag 22 from the uninflated position to the inflated position using the inflation medium.

[0100] Once inflated, the air bag 22 applies a force to the drawstring 34. The drawstring 34 applies such a force to the bracket 32. The force on the bracket 32 ​​breaks the pin 84, thereby releasing the bracket 32 ​​from being secured to the base 24. The bracket 32 ​​slides along the track 26 toward the first end 28 until the distal end of the bracket 32 ​​abuts the abutment surface 72, thereby compressing the spring 36 between the main portion 78 and the extended receiving portion of the bracket 32. In such a position, the extended portion 74 is located within the channel 70 of the extended receiving portion 68, thereby securing the bracket 32 ​​relative to the base 24 so that the drawstring 34 can assist in controlling the air bag 22.

[0101] When the air bag 22 is deflated, the force from the drawstring 34 is removed, and the spring 36 pushes the bracket 32 ​​to slide along the track 26 toward the second end 30. At the second end 30, the bracket 32 ​​collides with the ramp 86, which applies a normal force to the bracket 32. The normal force ejects the bracket 32 ​​from the second end 30 of the base 24. The drawstring 34 ejects from the base 24 together with the bracket 32 ​​through the channel 54.

[0102] The adjectives "first" and "second" are used herein as identifiers and are not intended to denote importance or order.
