Abstract
There is provided an airbag in which there are fewer restrictions in a place for setting a tension member and a place for setting a vent hole. Airbag (10) of the present invention has bag-shaped airbag main body (20), tension member (30, 30a, 30b) disposed inside airbag main body (20), and vent hole (50) provided in airbag main body (20). In two-dimensional view in which an inner side of inflated and deployed airbag main body (20) is viewed from a direction orthogonal to vent hole (50) via vent hole (50), tension member (30, 30a, 30b) has overlapping portion (35) disposed at a position overlapping vent hole (50), and a dimension of at least a part of overlapping portion (35) in an orthogonal direction is smaller than a gap of a portion of vent hole (50), which corresponds to overlapping portion (35), in the orthogonal direction.
Claims4
An airbag that is mounted on a vehicle, the airbag comprising:
- a bag-shaped airbag main body that is inflated as a gas flows into the airbag main body;
- at least one tension member that is disposed inside the airbag main body and regulates an inflated shape of the airbag main body;
- and
- at least one vent hole that is provided in the airbag main body and through which the gas in the airbag main body is discharged,
- wherein in two-dimensional view when an inner side of the inflated and deployed airbag main body is viewed from a direction orthogonal to the vent hole via the vent hole, the tension member has an overlapping portion that is disposed at a position overlapping the vent hole, and in a case where a direction orthogonal to a length direction of the tension member is an orthogonal direction, a dimension of at least a part of the overlapping portion in the orthogonal direction is smaller than a gap of a portion of the vent hole, which corresponds to the overlapping portion, in the orthogonal direction,
- wherein the overlapping portion is included in a narrow portion that has a dimension in the orthogonal direction smaller than other portions in the tension member, and
- the tension member is formed by a belt-shaped member having flexibility, and
- the narrow portion is formed such that a part of the belt-shaped member is folded in a width direction of the belt-shaped member and both end portions of the belt-shaped member in the width direction are overlapped with and fixed to each other at a folded portion.

- wherein the overlapping portion is included in a narrow portion that has a dimension in the orthogonal direction smaller than other portions in the tension member,
- the tension member is formed by a belt-shaped member having flexibility, and
- the narrow portion is formed by providing an opening portion in a part of the belt-shaped member.
