Curtain airbag device
First Claim
1. A curtain airbag device that is housed at a top edge portion of a side window glass placement location of a vehicle body, the curtain airbag device comprising:
- a gas supply passage that receives supplied gas and is deployed along a top portion of the side window glass placement location and towards a vehicle bottom direction;
an occupant protection portion that is deployed to a lower side of the gas supply passage by receiving supplied gas through the gas supply passage;
a gas release section that releases gas from inside the gas supply passage when an internal pressure of the gas supply passage reaches a specific pressure or higher, the specific pressure being higher than a design deployment pressure;
a plurality of attachment tabs that project out towards a vehicle top from a vehicle top end side of the gas supply passage at intervals along a vehicle front-rear direction, the plurality of attachment tabs are respectively attached to the top edge portion; and
an internal pressure regulation chamber that accepts gas released by the gas release section, the internal pressure regulation chamber is integrally provided to the gas supply passage at a vehicle top side of the gas supply passage, the internal pressure regulation chamber is disposed between the plurality of attachment tabs;
wherein the gas release section is configured such that when the internal pressure of the gas supply passage reaches the specific pressure or higher, the internal pressure causes a closed-off state between the gas supply passage and the internal pressure regulation chamber to change to a communicated state.

6. A curtain airbag device comprising:
-
a curtain airbag that is housed in a folded up state at a top edge portion of a side window glass placement location of a vehicle body, and that receives supplied gas and is deployed along the side window glass and towards a vehicle bottom direction; a gas release section that releases gas inside the curtain airbag from an upper portion of the curtain airbag when internal pressure of the curtain airbag reaches a specific pressure or higher, the specific pressure being higher than a design deployment pressure; a plurality of attachment tabs that project out towards a vehicle top from a vehicle top end side of the curtain airbag at intervals along a vehicle front-rear direction, the plurality of attachment tabs are respectively attached to the top edge portion; and an internal pressure regulation chamber that accepts gas released by the gas release section, the internal pressure regulation chamber is integrally provided to the curtain airbag at a vehicle top side of the curtain airbag, the internal pressure regulation chamber is disposed between the plurality of attachment tabs; wherein the gas release section is configured such that the internal pressure at the specific pressure of higher causes a closed-off state between the curtain airbag and the internal pressure regulation chamber to change to a communicated state.
