    摘要: An airbag device for a driver's seat is provided with a variant steering wheel, and an airbag module. The variant steering wheel has a module mounting surface and a cover member. When the cover member receives the expansion pressure of a cushion, a cover door opens. The airbag module includes a cloth member that is put on the cushion. A front end side of the cloth member is connected to an inflator, and a rear end is a free end. The airbag module is in a state in which the cushion is in a stored state, the cloth member is put over the cover member side of the cushion, and the cloth member is held between the cover member and the cushion in the stored state.

    摘要: A driver seat airbag device, provided with a steering wheel and an airbag module. The steering wheel includes a variant rim with a central upper part thereof omitted, and a cover member that covers the module installation surface at the center of the rim and the airbag module. The cover member includes a frontal region on an occupant side of the airbag module, an upper region on the upper side of the airbag module, and a tear line that enables the frontal region and the upper region to open up as cover doors. The tear line extends continuously from at least the center of the frontal region to at least the center of the upper region. The cover doors open to the left and right respectively from near the center of the frontal region and upper region.

    摘要: A steering wheel includes a steering wheel body, an airbag module, and a damper unit-4 that connects the steering wheel body and the airbag module-3. The airbag module is mounted to the steering wheel body via the damper unit facing in a Z-axis first direction that is an example of a first direction. The damper unit-4 is configured to apply a force on the airbag module in a state where the airbag module is mounted on the steering wheel body in a direction of pushing up the airbag module in a direction that intersects with the Z-axis first direction.

    摘要: An airbag for a driver seat is provided with: a steering wheel of a vehicle; an inflator stored in the steering wheel; and a cushion stored in the steering wheel along with the inflator that expands and deploys to restrain a passenger. The cushion contains: a steering side panel positioned on a steering wheel side; an occupant side panel positioned on an occupant side; and a side panel connecting an edge of the steering side panel to an edge of the occupant side panel to configure a side portion of the cushion. The occupant side panel has a larger area than the steering side panel, and an upper portion of the expanded and deployed cushion is thicker in the vehicle front-rear direction than a lower portion of the cushion.

    摘要: [Problem] To enable an airbag module to be assuredly assembled to a cored bar.[Resolution Means] The present invention is applied to a steering wheel including: a cored bar member; and an airbag module which houses an airbag cushion and an inflator and is coupled to the cored bar member via a coupling pin, wherein the steering wheel employs a configuration in which the coupling pin extends from the airbag module side to the cored bar member side. The steering wheel according to the present invention includes: a coil spring arranged outside the coupling pin; and a support member supporting the upper end of the coil spring at a peripheral part of the coupling pin. Moreover, the support member includes a hook which includes: a support surface protruding in the direction vertical to the shaft of the coupling pin in order to support the upper end part of the coil spring; and a side extending from this support surface towards the lower side of the coupling pin. In addition, the coil spring is configured so as not to interfere with the side of the hook.

    摘要: A vehicular airbag device that comprises: an inflator; and an airbag cushion that inflates and deploys between a steering wheel and an occupant. The airbag cushion includes: an occupant-side panel that deploys to the occupant side and restrains the occupant; a vehicle-side panel that is disposed on the opposite side to the occupant-side panel; and side panels that connect the occupant-side panel and the vehicle-side panel and constitute the side surfaces of the airbag cushion. The side panels comprise a plurality of subpanels. A base material weft that constitutes a central section E1 of the sub-panels extends in a virtual plane S2 that follows the occupant side of the rim of a steering wheel when the airbag cushion is inflated and deployed.
