Airbag device
First Claim
1. An air bag device comprising;
- an inflator for generating gas in emergency situations so as to be expanded and spread out by generated gas,an air bag comprising base cloths having peripheral edges which have been joined together along a seam at said peripheral edges to form a top face side and rear face side thereof, said base cloths being further joined together along a branching line extending from said peripheral edges and defining an opening where said base cloths are not joined, to further form a first air chamber provided with the inflator and a second air chamber that is coupled to the first chamber via the opening, anda partition cloth having a pair of opposed ends, each end joined to a respective one of said base cloths proximate the opening interposed between the first and second air chambers, and having a folded portion disposed toward the second air chamber, said partition cloth forming a partition unit joined to said base cloth on the top face side and rear face side thereof at portions other than the folded side portion of the partition cloth,wherein the partition unit is provided with at least one communication hole which is closed by the partition cloth forming the partition unit owing to a difference in pressure between the first and second air chambers,wherein the first chamber is oriented to extend laterally from an aft to a fore position with respect to a vehicle and the second chamber is disposed above the first chamber and is oriented to extend longitudinally from a lower to an upper position with respect to the vehicle, andwherein an exhaust port is provided in the first air chamber.

Abstract
In an air bag device 1 against a side collision which can be expanded and spread out in a gap between an outside portion of a seat of a vehicle and a wall opposite thereto owing to gas generated by an inflator 20 in emergency situations so as to obtain the air bag device at a low cost which system is provided with plural air chambers having difference in expansion timing and pressure depending on portions of a body of a crew, an air bag 10 is structured by a lower air chamber 12 provided with the inflator and an upper air chamber 14, a partition unit 40 for partitioning the lower air chamber 12 and the upper air chamber 14 is structured by a cloth sewn to the air bag, and a communication hole 40e which introduces gas from the inflator 20 from the lower air chamber 14 into the upper air chamber and is closed when subjected to pressure of the upper chamber as the pressure of the lower air chamber is reduced is formed in the cloth.
