Pretensioner and seat belt device
View Patent ↗A pretensioner and a seat belt device are provided. A pretensioner includes a wire connected to webbing that restrains an occupant, a piston disposed to the wire, a cylinder that slidably accommodates the piston, a gas generator that applies driving force to the piston, and a housing that integrally connects the cylinder and the gas generator. The housing includes an insertion hole that guides the wire, a communication part that is communicated with the cylinder and the insertion hole, and a gas-supply port that supplies gas generated by the gas generator to the communication part. The pretensioner includes a wire guide disposed at a boundary portion of the insertion hole and the communication part, and a holding member that is inserted into the communication part and locked to the gas-supply port, thereby to position the wire guide.
1. A pretensioner comprising:
a wire connected to webbing that restrains an occupant;
a piston disposed to the wire;
a cylinder that slidably accommodates the piston;
a gas generator that applies driving force to the piston; and
a housing that integrally connects the cylinder and the gas generator, wherein
the housing comprises an insertion hole that guides the wire, a communication part that is communicated with the cylinder and the insertion hole, and a gas-supply port that supplies gas generated by the gas generator to the communication part, and
the pretensioner includes a wire guide disposed at a boundary portion of the insertion hole and the communication part, and a holding member that is inserted into the communication part and locked to the gas-supply port, thereby to position the wire guide,
wherein the holding member comprises a main body that is made of resin and in a cylindrical shape, a projection lockable to the gas-supply port, and a rib formed axially on a surface of the main body.
2. A seat belt device comprising: webbing that restrains an occupant; and a belt anchor that fixes the webbing to a vehicle body side, wherein
the belt anchor comprises a pretensioner according to claim 1 .
3. A pretensioner comprising:
a wire connected to webbing that restrains an occupant;
a piston disposed to the wire;
a cylinder that slidably accommodates the piston;
a gas generator that applies driving force to the piston; and
a housing that integrally connects the cylinder and the gas generator, wherein
the housing comprises an insertion hole that guides the wire, a communication part that is communicated with the cylinder and the insertion hole, and a gas-supply port that supplies gas generated by the gas generator to the communication part, and
the pretensioner includes a wire guide disposed at a boundary portion of the insertion hole and the communication part, and a holding member that is inserted into the communication part and locked to the gas-supply port, thereby to position the wire guide,
wherein the housing comprises a key groove formed axially on the holding member, and the holding member has a protrusion that can be inserted into the key groove.
4. A seat belt device comprising: webbing that restrains an occupant; and a belt anchor that fixes the webbing to a vehicle body side, wherein
the belt anchor comprises a pretensioner according to claim 3 .
5. A pretensioner comprising:
a wire connected to webbing that restrains an occupant;
a piston disposed to the wire;
a cylinder that slidably accommodates the piston;
a gas generator that applies driving force to the piston; and
a housing that integrally connects the cylinder and the gas generator, wherein
the housing comprises an insertion hole that guides the wire, a communication part that is communicated with the cylinder and the insertion hole, and a gas-supply port that supplies gas generated by the gas generator to the communication part, and
the pretensioner includes a wire guide disposed at a boundary portion of the insertion hole and the communication part, and a holding member that is inserted into the communication part and locked to the gas-supply port, thereby to position the wire guide,
wherein the housing comprises a key groove formed axially on the holding member, and the holding member comprises a main body that is made of resin and in a cylindrical shape, a protrusion that is formed on the main body and can be inserted into the key groove, a projection that is formed on the protrusion and lockable to the gas-supply port, and a rib formed axially on a surface of the main body.
6. A seat belt device comprising: webbing that restrains an occupant; and a belt anchor that fixes the webbing to a vehicle body side, wherein
the belt anchor comprises a pretensioner according to claim 5 .
