Abstract
The invention relates to a device (18) for securing a gas generator (14) in an oscillating manner as a vibration-absorbing mass inside an airbag module (10). The invention is characterized in that a securing ring is provided for securing to the gas generator (14), said ring being open at least in sections in the radial direction by a continuous, radially outwardly directed annular gap and is provided with at least one axially oriented damping member.
Claims26
A device (18) for securing a gas generator (14) in an oscillating manner as a vibration-absorbing mass inside an airbag module (10), wherein a securing ring (50) is provided for securing to the gas generator (14), the securing ring (50) being provided with at least one axially oriented damping member (78, 80, 82, 84) and being completely divided by a continuous, radially outwardly directed annular gap (56) so that the securing ring (50) has a ring end (58, 60) on each side of the annular gap (56).
A device (18) for securing a gas generator (14) in an oscillating manner as a vibration-absorbing mass inside an airbag module (10), wherein a continuous securing ring (50) is provided for securing to the gas generator (14), the securing ring (50) including a recess (106) for receiving a flange (32) of the gas generator (14) so that the securing ring (50) is stabilized by the flange (32), the securing ring (50) being provided with at least one axially oriented damping member (78, 80, 82, 84) that is arranged on an underside (76) of the securing ring (50).
A device (18) for securing a gas generator (14) in an oscillating manner as a vibration-absorbing mass inside an airbag module (10), wherein a continuous securing ring (50) is provided for securing to the gas generator (14), the securing ring (50) being provided with at least one axially oriented damping member (78, 80, 82, 84) that is arranged on an underside (76) of the securing ring (50), the securing ring (50) comprising a U-profile (103), the U-profile (103) having a first leg (104), on which a flange (32) of the gas generator (14) rests, that is longer than a second leg (105) of the U-profile (103).
A device (18) for securing a gas generator (14) in an oscillating manner as a vibration-absorbing mass inside an airbag module (10), wherein a continuous securing ring (50) is provided for securing to the gas generator (14), the securing ring (50) being provided with at least one axially oriented damping member (78, 80, 82, 84) that is arranged on an underside (76) of the securing ring (50), and with a positioning nipple (101) that is arranged on an upper side (66) of the securing ring (50) so that the positioning nipple (101) can interact with a recess (102) or an opening of the gas generator (14) for fixing a relative position between the gas generator (14) and the securing ring (50).
