  • Publication number: 20090130431
    Abstract: A resin film is formed on the surface of a hot dip galvanized steel sheet by applying emulsion of a polyolefin copolymer resin molecular-associated by ion cluster to the steel sheet surface. The resin film contains, in terms of solids content, 10 to 55 mass % of silica particles, 1 to 8 mass % of a crosslinking agent, and 1 to 8 mass % of tannic acid and/or ammonium vanadate. The resin-coated hot dip galvanized steel sheet is capable of exhibiting well-balanced superior characteristics in weldability, corrosion resistance, and machinability.

  • Patent number: 6644687
    Abstract: In a head-protecting airbag apparatus where an airbag body inflated in a curtain configuration is mounted in a folded state along a roof side rail across at least a center pillar, the airbag body includes an upper portion folded in a bellows, and a lower portion subjected to one of turning-back performed toward an occupant compartment inner side and rolling-up performed towards the occupant compartment inner side. Accordingly, even when there is a vehicle occupant compartment inner side protrusion such as a slip joint in a vehicle, the airbag body is inflated and expanded so as to cover the vehicle occupant compartment inner side protrusion from the above or ride on the same. As a result, the lower portion of the airbag body is hard to be caught up by the vehicle occupant compartment inner side protrusion, thereby improving a expanding performance of the airbag body.

  • Patent number: 6361069
    Abstract: A head-protection air-bag device includes a head-protection air-bag body that can be mounted in a folded state along a roof side rail, and is deployed like a curtain so as to cover at least a center pillar from the inside of a vehicle compartment. A deployment-direction regulator (e.g., a projecting portion of a center-pillar garnish) that regulates the deployment direction of the head-protection air-bag body toward the inside of the vehicle compartment is provided at a position above and adjacent to an interior projection of the vehicle compartment such as a slip joint at the center pillar.

  • Patent number: 6254123
    Abstract: A structure for mounting a head-protecting airbag body which inflates in the form of a curtain at least along a roof side rail across a B pillar is provided with an airbag body expansion direction restricting member which is disposed on the roof side rail in the vicinity of a upper end portion of a B pillar garnish covering the B pillar and has a guide wall extending toward the upper end portion of the B pillar garnish, and moving restricting portions which are disposed on the upper end portion of the B pillar garnish and the airbag body expansion direction restricting member and engage each other when a side collision occurs so as to restrict movement of the upper end portion of the B pillar garnish. When a vehicle body is deformed upon a slide collision, the upper end portion of the B pillar garnish attempts to move in a vehicle occupant compartment inner direction.
