Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improvement of an airbag device for a straddle-type vehicle.
- Patent Document 1 There is known an air bag device of a straddle type vehicle provided in front of a passenger seat and configured to expand and deploy when the vehicle receives a predetermined impact (for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).
- a seat on which a passenger is seated is attached to a vehicle body frame, a fuel tank is provided in front of the seat, and a bag in which the air bag is stored in front of the fuel tank
- the housing is arranged. From the middle part of the rear face of the airbag, a bag anchor extends to the rear of the vehicle, and the tip of the bag anchor is connected to the vehicle body frame below the seat.
- a lid covering the upper surface of the bag housing opens upward with a hinge provided at the front of the bag housing as a fulcrum.
- the airbag then deploys out of the bag housing.
- the bag anchor extends to exert a anchoring action to hold the airbag in a predetermined position.
- Patent Document 1 a bag anchor is an essential element.
- the tip of the bag anchor comes out of the bag housing and extends to the vehicle body frame 1, the appearance is affected. Therefore, the abolition of the bag anchor is desired.
- Patent Document 2 has been proposed to meet this demand.
- a seat is attached to a vehicle body frame, a bag housing for storing the air bag is disposed immediately in front of the seat, and a fuel tank is provided in front of the bag housing. It has a structure.

- the strip member 177C passes the breaking line 186, is torn off by the fastening member 181C, and separates from the fastening member 181C. That is, the direction in which the air bag 150 deploys can be directed to the direction in which the occupant is held, and the speed at which the lid 141 opens can be suppressed low when the air bag 150 opens.
- FIG. 11 On the left wall 123 and the right wall 124 constituting the left and right of the holding box 121, fastening members 181D and 181D are respectively provided, and these left and right fastening members 181D and 181D serve as lid restricting means.
- One strip member 177D (webbing) is provided.
- a plate-like stay 188 is insert-molded in the lid 141, and a plurality of friction guide members 187 having a ring shape extend from the stay 188, and the inside of the ring of these friction guide members 187 is a strip member 177D (webbing) Was allowed to pass.
- the belt-like member 177D is provided with a folding portion 184D which can be extended when the lid 141 is opened at an intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction.
- the belt-like member 177D is disposed along the back surface of the lid 141 described above and is guided by the plurality of friction guide members 187 having a ring shape.
- the belt-like member 177D restricts the lid 141 to open at an angle greater than or equal to a predetermined angle when the lid 141 reaches a predetermined opening angle.
- the longitudinal length of the belt-like member 177D is set in accordance with the preset opening angle of the lid 141.
- four friction guide members 187 are attached to the lid 141 for braking the belt member 177D and slowing the opening speed of the lid 141 until the lid 141 opens to a predetermined angle. It is done.
- belt-shaped member 177D (webbing) as this lid control means, the increase in a number of parts can be suppressed compared with the mechanism in which a several member is required, for example. Since the increase in the number of parts can be suppressed, the cost of the air bag module can be reduced.
- FIG. 12A a state in which the holding box 121 is covered by the lid 141 is shown.
- the belt-like member 177D as the lid regulating means does not extend.
- the folded portion 184D of the folded strip member 177D is gradually stretched, and the lid 141 starts to open.
- the belt-like member 177D is braked by the frictional force to lower the opening speed of the lid 141.
- FIG. 12B shows a state in which the lid 141 is opened and the belt-like member 177D is extended as the air bag 150 is deployed.
- the number of friction guide members is four, but can be set to any number such as two, three or five.
- the present invention is applied to a two-wheeled motor vehicle in the embodiment, the present invention is also applicable to a three-wheeled vehicle, and may be applied to a general straddle-type vehicle.
- the present invention is suitable for a motorcycle provided with an airbag device.
