【従来の技術】エアバッグは、自動車の乗員保護用安全
装置として、近年その普及が著しく広がっている。2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, airbags have become extremely popular as safety devices for protecting passengers of automobiles.

である。As a requirement for the airbag base fabric, it is necessary to have low gas permeability and mechanical strength that allow it to expand smoothly upon impact. Furthermore, it is also necessary that the human body, especially the face, should not be scratched when inflated when it is inflated, that it can be stored compactly, and that there is no dimensional change during installation on the vehicle body for a long period of time.

A base cloth made of nylon yarn having a circular cross section of dtex and a base cloth further coated with a resin such as chloroprene or silicone (hereinafter referred to as a coated product) are used. However, the one coated with resin has mechanical properties maintained because it uses a thick thread of 440 dtex or more, and although it has an effect on breathability due to the coating, it is sufficiently improved in bending resistance and lightness. There is no.

Fabrics in which the surface of the fabric is not coated with a resin have been proposed in consideration of costs. However, in order to suppress gas permeability without coating the resin, it is necessary to woven the fabric at a high density, and as a result of the increased basis weight, the flexibility of the fabric is hardly improved.

It has been described to increase. However, the single yarn fineness is still as thick as 4.4d, and there is a difference in the bending resistance in the warp and weft directions, so that it cannot be said that the storability and the lightness are sufficient.

There are many methods proposed, and many have been proposed.

A woven fabric having a burst strength of 650 psi or more, a tensile strength of 300 pounds, and a trapezoidal piece tear strength of 40 pounds has been proposed.

Hereinafter, a non-coated cloth having a total fineness of 250 to 400 dtex has been proposed.

Further, these yarns are conscious of ordinary round cross-section yarns, and use of irregular cross-section yarns or hollow yarns has not been attempted yet.

原因となってくる。In addition, the method of simply reducing the single yarn fineness generally causes a problem that fluff and yarn breakage are likely to occur during spinning and weaving. Particularly in the field of airbags, from the viewpoint of cost, gluing or twisting is not performed at the time of weaving, so that the above problems cause a great deal of trouble.

Provided is a base fabric for an airbag which has excellent bending resistance, reduces the weight of the entire cloth, and reduces the difference in bending resistance in the longitudinal and longitudinal directions. As a result, the storage capacity and the collision energy at impact can be reduced. It is a thing.

The greatest feature of the present invention resides in that the single yarn cross section of the filament constituting the airbag base fabric has a specific flatness and is a hollow cross section instead of the usual round cross section. If a modified cross-section yarn having a flatness of a certain level or more is used, the major axis of the single-yarn cross section is arranged on the woven fabric plane in parallel with the woven fabric plane. As a result, the gap per unit surface area is reduced in the thickness direction of the woven fabric, and the ventilation amount is suppressed as compared with the case where the circular cross section having the same fineness is used and the weaving density is the same. In addition, if it is designed to have the same ventilation amount, the total fineness can be reduced.

場合にもその全体の外形を損ねないような楕円に近似
し、偏平度を算出すればよい。The flatness of the single yarn cross section in the present invention means the ratio of the long diameter to the short diameter when the single yarn cross section is approximated to an ellipse.
It is defined by the minor axis / major axis. The cross section does not need to be strictly elliptical, and may have a projection or a depression in a part within a range that does not affect the flatness of the whole. Even in such a case, the flatness may be calculated by approximating an ellipse that does not impair the overall outer shape.

ズルの管理も複雑なものとなる。In order to obtain the effect of the present invention, it is necessary that the flatness is 3.5 or less, more preferably 2.5 or less. In particular, the cross section is preferably elliptical. 3.
If it is 5 or more, even if it is a flat cross section, the single yarn cross section tends to be randomly positioned when it is made into a woven fabric, and the voids in the fabric thickness direction become large. In addition, the probability that the major axis and the minor axis are oriented in the same direction is reduced. Therefore, the effect of reducing the ventilation amount and reducing the weight of the present invention cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the flatness exceeds 3.5 and becomes too large, the yarn formability and weavability are deteriorated, and fluffing and the like are likely to occur, which is not preferable. Moreover, the management of nozzles in the spinning process becomes complicated.

収納性が向上する。When the flatness is less than 3.5 as in the present invention, the fiber outer circumference is larger than the flatness 1, that is, the round cross section.
The surface area increases, and even if the same coating liquid is applied, it is possible to reduce the thickness of the applied resin layer,
The softness increases while maintaining more flexibility. Even more surprisingly, the bending resistances in the warp and weft directions are almost the same, and the difference is 10% or less in the ratio of warp / latitude, and the storability is further improved.

The shape of the hollow portion may be circular or any other shape, as long as it is hollow. The hollow rate is 5 to 55%, preferably 5 to 35%, more preferably 5 to 25%. If it is 5% or less, the effect is the same as that of a normal circular cross section, and if it exceeds 55%, it becomes bulky, and the storability is rather deteriorated.

ることがわかる。As is clear from Table 1, the samples in this example have lower flexibility and gas permeability and are less rigid than fabrics using a round cross-section yarn having an equivalent fineness and an equivalent woven density. The difference in softness in the longitudinal direction is also 10% or less, which shows that the fabric is excellent as a base fabric for an airbag. Also,
This means that when designed to have the same air permeability, the base fabric using the flat cross-section yarn of the present invention reduces the total fineness and the coating amount of the coating agent,
It is also shown that it is possible to reduce the weaving density, and it can be seen that it is possible to achieve weight reduction, further softening and improvement of storability, as compared with the case of using a thread having a round cross section.

る。EFFECT OF THE INVENTION Since the airbag fabric according to the present invention uses flat yarns having a hollow section of 5 to 55% and a flatness of 3.5 or less as filaments, not to mention mechanical properties. Has low gas permeability and excellent flexibility,
In addition, the coating amount of the coating agent can be reduced, the weight of the entire fabric can be reduced, and the base fabric for an air bag that can be stored and can reduce the collision energy at the time of impact can be obtained.
