  • Patent number: 6840535
    Abstract: Disclosed is an airbag for a vehicle capable of minimizing gas leakage in an early stage through gas discharge holes in a housing when spreading an air cushion. In both sides opposite to a first housing, the gas discharge holes are formed for emitting gas. A retainer on whose upper surface is fixed the air cushion, and in whose both sides are formed a coupling having coupling holes corresponding to the gas discharge holes, is provided. This coupling part is coupled to the first housing through the coupling device. The gas discharge holes are made lengthwise to make it possible to move the retainer up and down. As a result, when reading the air cushion, some of the holes are opened by movement of the coupling part. Besides, the coupling holes reformed in the lower side of the coupling part, so when not spreading the air cushion, the gas discharge holes are kept closed by the coupling part.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a variable cover of a curtain airbag for a vehicle, comprising a plurality of bellows, which can control the angle and length of the cover which has a circular or polygonal shape, and an exploding part, which guides the spreading direction by being exploded by an exploding pressure of an airbag cushion, by a hook or a scoring process. This can guide the standardization of a cover which can be applied to the roof side rail of different vehicles. Thereby, it contributes to reduce the manufacturing cost by preventing manufacturing the cover individually in accordance with the existing vehicles and enhance a worker's convenience by aiming at an uniformity of the working process.
