Abstract: A middle pillar trim and a rear pillar trim positioned to the front and rear of a side window glass are each harder than a roof trim. A curtain air bag fixed to a rear pillar is deployed in a vehicle cabin while a predetermined end edge of the front of the rear pillar trim in the widthwise direction of a vehicle is deformed toward the front. The separation distance of the curtain air bag in a stored state from the side window glass in the widthwise direction of the vehicle is L1 (L2) in the portion of the curtain air bag along the rear edge of the side window glass, and L4 in the portion of the curtain air bag at the upper edge of the side window glass near the middle pillar trim, and the separation distance L1(L2) is smaller than the separation distance L4.

Abstract: A structure of a rear portion of a vehicle furnished with a curtain airbag apparatus includes a rear pillar, a soft roof trim, a rear pillar trim harder than the roof trim, and a cover constituting part of the rear pillar trim and covering a specific area of a front face portion of the rear pillar trim. The curtain airbag apparatus includes a curtain airbag and an inflator for inflating and deploying the curtain airbag into the vehicle interior along side window glass. The cover of the rear pillar trim can easily be displaced frontward along an airbag deployment joint. When inflated, the curtain airbag fixed to a vehicle body along an upper edge and a rear edge of the side window glass in a retracted position deploys into the vehicle interior upon separating and displacing the cover of the rear pillar trim frontward from the other part thereof.

Abstract: To provide a vehicle interior member affixing member capable of improving the efficiency of attachment and removal operations.

Abstract: A vehicle rear structure with a curtain air bag device is provided which is capable of, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, effectively restraining a front upper end of a rear pillar trim from breaking and scattering, and spreading a curtain member properly.

Abstract: A middle pillar trim PT3 and a rear pillar trim PT4 positioned to the front and rear of a side window glass G3 are each harder than a roof trim RT. A curtain air bag KB fixed to a rear pillar P4 is deployed in a vehicle cabin while a predetermined end edge 26a of the front of the rear pillar trim PT4 in the widthwise direction of a vehicle is deformed toward the front. The separation distance of the curtain air bag KB in a stored state from the side window glass G3 in the widthwise direction of the vehicle is L1 (L2) in the portion of the curtain air bag KB along the rear edge of the side window glass G3, and L4 in the portion of the curtain air bag KB at the upper edge of the side window glass G3 near the middle pillar trim PT3, and L1 (L2)<L4 is satisfied.

Abstract: Disclosed is an arrangement structure for a curtain airbag, which comprises a bracket plate 20 for attaching a curtain airbag to a vehicle body inner panel 1b, and a pillar trim 30 formed with a trim engagement-plate potion 31 in the vicinity of an upper end thereof. The trim engagement-plate potion 31 has a trim engagement surface 32 oriented toward a vehicle interior space in an orthogonal direction relative thereto.
