Curtain airbag apparatus for car
A curtain airbag apparatus for a car includes: a cushion part installed in a car body, and configured to be deployed between the car body and a passenger by a gas supplied through an inflator; a tether part formed between the cushion part and the car body, and formed to have both sides connected to the cushion part so as to guide a deployment shape of the cushion part; and a bending guide part configured to form a groove at a side surface of the cushion part such that gas is not supplied to the groove, and configured to guide the cushion part to have a concave shape toward the car body.
1. A curtain airbag apparatus for a car, comprising:
a cushion part installed in a car body, and configured to be deployed between the car body and a passenger by a gas supplied through an inflator;
a tether part formed between the cushion part and the car body, and formed to have a side and another side thereof connected to the cushion part so as to guide a deployment shape of the cushion part; and
a bending guide part configured to form a groove at a side surface of the cushion part such that the gas is not supplied to the groove, and configured to guide the cushion part to have a concave shape toward the car body;
wherein the cushion part comprises:
a cushion body configured to expand by the gas supplied through the inflator; and
a pattern part configured to form a region in the cushion body such that the gas is not supplied to the region, the pattern part being connected to both sides of the tether part, where in the pattern part is disposed away from the bending guide part;
wherein the pattern part is configured to extend in a top-to-bottom direction of the cushion body while forming a looped curve in the cushion body, and comprises a first connection part to which the top of the tether part is connected and a second connection part to which the bottom of the tether part is connected.
2. The curtain airbag apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cushion body is configured to be deployed between a front pillar and a side pillar of a car, and configured to be expanded in a shape to cover a window of a door installed at a sidewall of the car body.
3. The curtain airbag apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the length of the cushion part is more than the length of the tether part between the first and second connection parts through which the cushion part and the tether part are connected to each other by sewing, and the cushion part is configured to be folded and stored.
4. The curtain airbag apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the pattern part comprises:
a first pattern disposed in a region in the cushion body facing the bending guide part;
a second pattern disposed in a region in the cushion body next to the first pattern; and
a third pattern disposed in a region in the cushion body next to the second pattern, and configured to form a looped curve.
5. The curtain airbag apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the first connection part is located at the top of the first pattern, and the second connection part is located at the bottom of the first pattern.
6. The curtain airbag apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the tether part is formed in a string shape, and the length of the tether part connected to the first and second connection parts is less than a distance between the first and second connection parts.
7. The curtain airbag apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the cushion body is configured to be deployed in a concave shape toward the car body.
8. The curtain airbag apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the bending guide part is located at a side surface of the cushion body facing a side pillar, and the tether part is connected to the first connection part and the second connection part facing the bending guide part.
9. The curtain airbag apparatus of claim 8 , wherein a first bending boundary line is formed between the bending guide part and the first pattern, and the cushion body located at the top and bottom of the first bending boundary line is bent toward the car body.
