ENERGY ABSORBING STRUCTURE OF BODY SIDE PART

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve support rigidity of an air bag unit by disposing the air bag unit toward a specified direction near the side part of a frame body, and fitting the air bag unit directly to a bracket frame. SOLUTION: A bracket frame 30 longitudinally extended along a left side part of a seat back 3 is fitted at its rear part to the left side of a left side part of a seat back frame 13. The bracket frame 30 is provided near the left side part of the seat back 3, almost along the left side part in such a way as to be extended vertically from the upper part of an air bag unit 21 to the lower part of the seat back 3. the air bag unit 21 is directly fitted to the upper part of the bracket frame 30 by a fitting member 26 provided at the side face of a reaction can 22 using two vertical pairs of bolts 27 and nuts 28. Support rigidity of the air bag unit 21 can thereby be improved.
