AIRBAG DEVICE

摘要

An airbag apparatus that prevents a reverse flow of a gas between chambers to allow internal pressures of the chambers to be maintained. The airbag apparatus includes: a cushion portion with a divided internal space including a first chamber and a second chamber; a deflector surrounds a periphery of an inflator with a first gap therebetween to cover a gas ejection port of the inflator. The deflector has a first end portion projecting in a longitudinal direction and forming a space between the first end portions of the deflector and the inflator. A cloth cylindrical member surrounds a periphery of the deflector with a second gap therebetween. The cylindrical member projects from the first end portion of the deflector by a predetermined length so as to allow the first gap and the second gap to be covered in the first end portion side of the deflector.

主权项

1. An airbag apparatus installed in a vehicle, comprising:
a cushion portion that is configured to be inflated and deployed by a gas, the cushion portion having a division portion that divides an internal space of the cushion portion into at least a first chamber and a second chamber; an inflator including, in an outer surface thereof, a gas ejection port through which the gas is ejected; a deflector surrounding a periphery of the inflator with a first gap therebetween and covering the gas ejection port, the deflector having a first end portion projecting in a longitudinal direction of the inflator such that a space is formed between the first end portion of the deflector and a first end portion of the inflator; and a cloth cylindrical member formed so as to be able to surround a periphery of the deflector and defining a second gap between the cylindrical member and the periphery of the deflector, the deflector straddling the division portion, and the first end portion of the deflector is positioned toward the first chamber, whereas a second end portion of the deflector is positioned toward the second chamber, a projection portion of the cylindrical member projecting from the first end portion of the deflector by a length sufficient to allow at least the first gap and the second gap to be covered by the projecting portion at the first end portion of the deflector, and the first gap near the first end portion of the inflator being larger than the second gap after the inflator operates.
