Air bag in use for head protection air bag device
First Claim
1. An air bag in use for a head protection air bag device in which said air bag, while being folded, is stored in an upper fringe of openings on a cabin-inside side of a vehicle, said air bag comprising:
- a gas inflow part for flowing inflation gas;
a gas passage extending forwardly from said gas inflow part;
a front-seat inflation chamber located at a position near a side of a front seat for receiving the inflation gas;
a rear-seat inflation chamber located at a position near a side of a rear seat for receiving the inflation gas, said front- and rear-seat inflation chambers being disposed below said gas passage through respective inflow ports formed in upper parts of said front- and rear-seat inflation chambers to allow the inflation gas to flow into said front- and rear-seat inflation chambers; and
a partitioning part dividing said gas passage from said rear-seat inflation chamber to thereby define said inflow port of said rear-seat inflation chamber, said partitioning part comprising a beginning part and a linear part linearly slanting downwardly from said beginning part in a frontward direction and a rear-side peripheral edge of said inflow port of said rear-seat inflation chamber is positioned at a forward end of said linear part;
wherein said inflow port of said rear-seat inflation chamber is opened in a direction substantially orthogonal to an axial direction of said gas passage, and a front-side peripheral edge of said inflow port is disposed to be higher than said rear-side peripheral edge of said inflow port.

Abstract
An air bag is stored in the upper fringe of the openings on the cabin-inside side, while being folded. The air bag includes a gas inflow part for flowing inflation gas into the air bag, and a main body that inflates when receiving the inflation gas. The main body includes front- and rear-seat inflation chambers, and a gas passage extending forwardly from the gas inflow part and allowing the inflation gas to flow from inflow ports opened in the upper parts of the front- and rear-seat inflation chambers to the front- and rear-seat inflation chambers per se. The inflow port of the rear-seat inflation chamber is opened in a direction substantially orthogonal to an axial direction of the gas passage. A front-side peripheral edge is disposed to be higher than a rear-side peripheral edge.

7. An air bag in use for a head protection air bag device in which said air bag, while being folded, is stored in an upper fringe of openings on a cabin-inside side of a vehicle, said air bag comprising:
-
a gas inflow part for flowing inflation gas;
a gas passage extending forwardly from said gas inflow part;
a front-seat inflation chamber located at a position near a side of a front seat for receiving the inflation gas; and
a rear-seat inflation chamber located at a position near a side of a rear seat for receiving the inflation gas, said front- and rear-seat inflation chambers being disposed below said gas passage through respective inflow ports formed in upper parts of said front- and rear-seat inflation chambers to allow the inflation gas to flow into said front- and rear-seat inflation chambers; and
a guide formed on an upper peripheral wall of said gas passage located above an inflow port of said front-seat inflation chamber such that the upper peripheral wall is gradually projected downwardly in a frontward direction, the guide terminating at or closely adjacent to the inflow port, wherein said guide is for deflecting the inflation gas passing through said gas passage downwardly and for directing the inflation gas toward said inflow port of said front-seat inflation chamber and wherein said inflow port of said front-seat inflation chamber is located adjacent to a center pillar. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
