Abstract:
1. A disposition structure for a curtain airbag system, the disposition structure comprising: an airbag in a folded state disposed along a roof side rail; a roof trim that forms a ceiling and covers a folded airbag with an end thereof; a pillar trim that covers a passenger compartment side of a pillar; an airbag guide that includes a top surface facing an under surface of the folded airbag, an end of the airbag guide being directed toward an inside of a passenger compartment; and an airbag guide support that is configured to control a movement of the airbag guide, and is formed to bend toward the passenger compartment so as to separate from the pillar, the airbag guide support being bent upward so as to approach and face the end of the airbag guide, wherein the airbag guide support retains the airbag guide in a normal position, wherein the end of the airbag guide is kept away from an upper end of the pillar trim and the top surface of the airbag guide faces the under surface of the folded airbag, wherein, when the airbag is inflated and deployed, the airbag guide receives a downward pressing force from an inflating airbag on the top surface of the airbag guide and moves to a position of action in which the airbag guide guides the inflating airbag to a non-contact state in which the airbag is kept away from the upper end of the pillar trim, and wherein, when the airbag is inflated and deployed, the airbag presses and deforms the end of the roof trim toward the inside of the passenger compartment and thereby produces a gap between the end of the roof trim and the upper end of the pillar trim through which the airbag is deployed in a vertical direction.
