Abstract

A bracket for securing a side airbag for an automotive vehicle is provided. The bracket includes a mounting plate formed of a synthetic resin material, and including a main body and a coupling part projecting from an upper surface of the main body and having a hole, and a bracket clip including two support plates in contact with front and rear surfaces of the coupling part and having through-holes in communication with the hole, and a bent part connecting the two support plates at each one side. Therefore, it is possible to protect the bracket to prevent damage to or deformation of the bracket when a bolt is screwed, thereby maintaining the side airbag in an optimal state.

Claims (20)

1. A bracket for securing a side airbag for an automotive vehicle, comprising:

a mounting plate formed of a synthetic resin material, and including a main body and a coupling part projecting from an upper surface of the main body, said coupling part having a front surface, a rear surface, sides intersecting the main body and a hole, said coupling part comprising projection thresholds along the sides bent relative to the front surface; and

a bracket clip including a front support plate in contact with the front surface intermediate the projection thresholds and a rear support plate in contact with the rear surface, said front and rear support plates having through-holes in communication with the hole, and a bent part connecting the front and rear support plates.

2. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the front and rear support plates of the bracket clip are formed about the bent part to be freely folded or unfolded.

3. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the main body has a coupling hole passing therethrough.

4. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein an annular threshold is formed at an inner surface of any one support plate such that the annular threshold is inserted through the hole of the coupling part and the through-hole of the other support plate upon assembly.

5. The bracket according to claim 4 , wherein the annular threshold formed at the support plate is formed around the through-hold of the support plate.

6. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the bracket clip has a hooking threshold projecting toward a vehicle body.

7. A bracket for securing a side airbag for an automotive vehicle, comprising:

a mounting plate formed of a synthetic resin material, and including a main body and a coupling part projecting from an upper surface of the main body, said coupling part having a front surface, a rear surface, sides intersecting the main body and a hole, said coupling part comprising projection thresholds along the sides bent relative to the front surface; and

a bracket clip including a front support plate in contact with the front surface intermediate the projection thresholds and a rear support plate in contact with the rear surface, said front and rear support plates having through-holes in communication with the hole, and a bent part connecting the front and rear support plates, wherein the coupling part has a securing hook, and

a restraint member is fixed to the main body to be at least partially bent, and a hook fastening part is formed at one end of the restraint member to be coupled to the securing hook.

8. The bracket according to claim 7 , wherein stopper projections are formed at both ends of the hook fastening part disposed at outer sides of the securing hooks to restrain lateral shaking of the hook fastening part.

9. The bracket according to claim 7 , wherein a cut-out part is formed at the bent part disposed inside the vehicle, among the bent parts of the restraint member.

10. The bracket according to claim 7 , wherein the restraint member is formed of synthetic resin.

11. The bracket according to claim 7 , wherein the front and rear support plates of the bracket clip are formed about the bent part to be freely folded or unfolded.

12. The bracket according to claim 7 , wherein an annular threshold is formed at an inner surface of any one support plate such that the annular threshold is inserted through the hold of the coupling part and the through-hole of the other support plate upon assembly.

13. The bracket according to claim 12 , wherein the annular threshold formed at the support plate is formed around the through-hole of the support plate.

14. The bracket according to claim 7 , wherein the bracket clip has a hooking threshold projecting toward a vehicle body.

15. The bracket according to claim 7 wherein a securing hook is formed at the projection thresholds, respectively.
