[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The invention relates to the airbag bracket that enables the installation of different airbags in the suspension air equipment of trailer and semi-trailer type vehicles, with or without angle (intermodal), offset and offset.

[0004] PRIOR ART

[0005] Today, due to the use of a plurality of suspension elements (airbag) in intermodal vehicles due to the axle combination of the vehicle, the suspension element must be geometrically angled according to the axle requirements. In addition, it is necessary to weld the offset brackets used to ensure the correct driving height of the vehicle and to assemble the suspension elements (airbags) of different diameters (in order to prevent contact with the wheels and other components) in accordance with the vehicle (to prevent contact with the wheels and other components) and to assemble the suspension elements (airbags) in accordance with the vehicle at an angle, without angle, with or without offset. If the proper installation cannot be provided to the vehicle, the vehicle becomes dysfunctional. The angle of the airbags used and the distance (offset) between the connection point and the chassis vary depending on the axle options used on the vehicle. This intermediate distance is filled with a bracket defined as the offset part. In addition, in cases where the airbag needs to be angled due to the necessity of axle options, the airbag can be angled with the offset piece. In these cases, system requirements are met with combinations of angled, non-angled, offset and non-offset spacer pieces to ensure proper assembly operations.

[0006] In the current case, the suspension connection bracket is welded to the chassis for the suspension element installation. Therefore, flexibility disappears. In case of any deformation that may occur in the airbag brackets, disassembly or assembly cannot be done. The application of cutting, grinding, welding and subsequent coating and painting processes for the assembly of the new part becomes a difficult operation in the relevant region. In addition, this situation causes complaints and extra costs such as corrosion and paint problems since the chassis is physically modified. As a result of the research conducted in the literature, a Turkish patent application with the application number "2020 / 13894" and the invention title "Anti-fault brackets for mounting the seat trim cover airbag strip on a seat frame" was found. The abovementioned application comprises a seat frame including a stud hole, a first bracket, and a second bracket including a bracket hole. However, in the application mentioned, there is no indication that different airbags can be installed in the suspension air equipment of trailer and semi-trailer type vehicles, such as angled (intermodal), non-angled, offset or non-offset.

[0007] As a result, the abovementioned problems and the problems that cannot be solved in the light of the state of the art have made it necessary to make an improvement in the relevant technical field.

[0008] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] The invention relates to an airbag bracket in order to eliminate the abovementioned disadvantages and to bring new advantages to the relevant technical field.

[0010] The main purpose of the invention is to enable the installation of different airbags in the suspension air equipment of trailer and semi-trailer type vehicles, with or without angle (intermodal), offset and offset.

[0011] In order to achieve all the purposes mentioned above and which will emerge from the detailed description below, the present invention is an airbag bracket, which comprises bolt, which is a fastener that is tightened and fastened by drilling a hole on the parts to be connected to each other and attaching a nut to the end, ring-shaped washer with a hole in the center located under the head of the bolt, nut used with bolt or stud, which uses the friction force generated between the helical curves of the bolt or screw, lower bar part and mirror sheet part with holes on them to ensure the connection of the optional bracket to the subframe, airbag as a vehicle suspension element, which enables the installation of different airbags in the suspension air equipment of trailer and semi-trailer type vehicles with or without angles, offsets and offsets, characterized by comprising; optional bracket, which is connected to the airbag and the lower part of the chassis by inserting the bolt through the holes in the lower bar part and the mirror sheet part and fastening it by means of washers and nuts, which can be angled without offset, angled without offset and angled with offset.

[0032] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0033] In this detailed description, the airbag (7) bracket of the present invention is described by means of examples only for clarifying the subject matter such that no limiting effect is created

[0034] Airbag (7) bracket comprises optional bracket (1), bolt (2), washer (3), nut (4), lower bar part (5), mirror sheet part (6), airbag (7). The optional bracket (1) is a bracket that can be angled without offset, angled without offset and angled with offset, which is connected to the lower part of the chassis, which is connected to the airbag (7) by threading the bolt (2) through the holes in the lower bar part (5) and mirror sheet part (6) and fastening it by means of washer (3) and nut (4). Bolt (2) is a connecting element that is tightened by drilling a hole on the parts to be connected and attaching a nut (4) to its end. The washer (3) is a ring-shaped piece with a hole in the middle, positioned under the head of the bolt (2). It is one of the removable fasteners used with a bolt (2) or stud, using the friction force created between the helical curves of the nut (4), bolt (2) or screw. The lower bar part (5) is the part with holes on it to ensure the connection of the optional bracket (1) to the lower chassis. The mirror sheet part (6) is the part with holes on it to ensure the connection of the optional bracket (1) to the lower chassis. Airbag (7) is a vehicle suspension element.
