Mounting structure for garnish

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD [Detailed description of the invention]

【0001】

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

The present invention relates to a garnish mounting structure capable of instantaneously expanding and deploying an airbag in a predetermined position.

【0002】

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, an airbag device that protects an occupant from an impact generated when an automobile collides includes a curtain airbag device that inflates the airbag on the side of the occupant when the automobile collides sideways to protect the occupant.

【0003】

The airbag of the curtain airbag device is stored in a slender folded state inside a door frame composed of a front pillar portion, a roof side portion, a center pillar portion, a rear pillar portion, etc., and is covered with a garnish or the like in the passenger compartment. It is designed not to be exposed to.

【0004】

When the sensor detects the impact generated when the car collides sideways, an operation signal is sent to the inflator, which generates high-pressure gas, and the high-pressure gas causes the airbag to cover the window of the side door. It is expanded and deployed in a shape to protect the occupants from the impact at the time of a side collision, and as an airbag device of this type, for example, those described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-52910 are known. ..

【0005】

In the airbag device of the above-mentioned publication, the garnish or roof interior material that covers the airbag folded and stored around the opening on the vehicle interior side is fixed to the vehicle body side by fixing means such as bolts and clips, and the side surface thereof. The airbag inflated at the time of a collision is configured to be deployed so as to cover the opening on the vehicle interior side while pushing open the garnish or roof interior material against the elasticity of the garnish or roof interior material.

【0006】

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

However, in the case of the airbag device of the above-mentioned publication, in which the airbag is deployed while pushing open the garnish and the roof interior material by the airbag, the garnish and the roof interior material are warped outward when the airbag is inflated. Since it is necessary to plastically deform, the physical characteristics of the synthetic resin forming the garnish or roof interior material are particularly important.

【0007】

Also, while the airbag expands and expands while pushing open the garnish and roof interior material, the elastic force that tries to return to the original state of the garnish and roof interior material always acts on the airbag, so it is commensurate with the expansion force of the airbag. Since the garnish and roof interior material only open in the gap, the garnish and roof interior material are provided in consideration of the physical characteristics of the synthetic resin so that the airbag can be expanded and deployed instantly in a predetermined position and shape. The selection range of the synthetic resin to be used is limited.

【0008】

Furthermore, when trying to decorate the garnish or roof interior material, there is a problem that the decoration is restricted because it is necessary to decorate the garnish or the roof interior material so as not to prevent the warp of the garnish or the roof interior material.

【0009】

The present invention has been made to improve the conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a garnish mounting structure having a simple structure and further improved expansion and deployment of the airbag.

【0010】

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the garnish mounting structure according to claim 1 is a garnish mounting structure in which an airbag stored in a folded state is covered with a garnish locked to a vehicle body side member by a locking means. In the structure, the locking means is fixed to the inner surface of the garnish so as to be separated from the garnish when the airbag is inflated, and the locking means is expanded from the garnish between the garnish and the locking means. When the airbag is detached, it is connected by a connecting portion set to a length that does not hinder the expansion of the airbag between the vehicle body side member and the garnish.

【0011】

According to the above configuration, when the airbag is inflated due to a side collision of an automobile or the like, the locking means is separated from the garnish, the garnish is separated from the vehicle body side member, and the airbag is expanded between the vehicle body side member and the garnish. Since an unobstructed space is formed, the garnish does not hinder the expansion of the airbag, and the elastic force of the garnish does not act on the airbag, so that the airbag is reliably inflated in a predetermined position and shape. Since it can be deployed and the vehicle body side member and the garnish are connected by a connecting portion, the garnish that has fallen off does not hit the occupant.

【0012】

In addition, since it is not necessary to plastically deform the garnish to inflate the airbag, problems such as limiting the selection range of the synthetic resin used for the garnish can be solved, and consideration is given so as not to hinder the warp of the garnish. Since it is not necessary to decorate the garnish, problems such as restrictions on the decoration of the garnish can be solved.

【0013】

In the garnish mounting structure according to claim 2, in order to achieve the above object, the locking means is formed on the mounting seat fixed to the inner surface of the garnish by the fixing means and the mounting seat protruding from the mounting seat and on the vehicle body side member. It is formed from a locking claw that can be locked in the locking hole, and a spacer rib that keeps a constant distance between the vehicle body side member and the garnish is provided on the locking claw.

【0014】

With the above configuration, the garnish can be attached to the vehicle body side member by simply locking the locking claw of the locking means fixed to the inner surface of the garnish into the locking hole of the vehicle body side member, whereby a screw or the like can be attached. Since the assembly work can be performed easily and in a short time as compared with the case of mounting by the fixing means, the work efficiency is very good, and the space between the vehicle body side member and the garnish can be kept constant by the spacer rib, so that the assembly accuracy is also improved. ..

【0015】

In order to achieve the above object, the garnish mounting structure according to claim 3 is formed by providing a retaining rib on the locking claw to prevent the tip of the locking claw from coming out of the locking hole.

【0016】

With the above configuration, since the locking claw does not come off from the locking hole, the garnish does not fall off from the vehicle body side member in normal times, and the garnish does not rattle due to vibration during traveling.

【0017】
