Fabrics for inflatable airbags including one or more aperture sections are disclosed. The aperture sections can be formed in woven fabric panels of the inflatable airbags. Methods of weaving fabric panels including aperture sections for inflatable airbags are also disclosed. The aperture sections may define vents, or the aperture sections may receive a portion of an inflator, a lead wire, and/or a mounting hardware component.

A flame resistant fabric for the use in the construction of aviation airbags comprises a polyester fiber substrate which is treated with a first flame retardant. A polyurethane coating is applied to the polyester fiber substrate, which has been treated with the first flame retardant, to impart high pressure permeability resistance to the flame resistant fabric. The polyurethane coating comprises a second flame retardant to insure that the flame resistant fabric complies with Federal Aviation Requirement 25.853. The flame resistant fabric further comprises sufficient high pressure permeability resistance which is measured as a pressure of not less than about 198 kPa after five seconds from an initial inflation and pressurization to about 200 kPa, such as may be encountered in and during an inflation of aviation airbag assemblies.

The present invention relates to a coated fabric for an air bag obtained by applying an elastomer resin onto at least one side of a woven fabric made from synthetic fiber. The applied amount of the elastomer resin is 25 to 60 g/m.sup.2. The average resin thickness on warp and weft at head top of the woven fabric surface is 8 μm to 45 μm. The number of foams having diameter of 30 μm or larger is 100 or more/cm.sup.2 on the surface of a resin layer.

A seamless filling woven tape unit, a yarn tank transportation equipment and the filling process thereof. The woven tape unit utilizes a woven tape and a filler arranged in the woven tape, wherein the woven tape utilizes several woven tape units formed by integrated weaving, the woven tape unit utilizes a hollow woven tape and a solid woven tape formed by integrally weaving the two ends of the hollow tape, and a cavity of the hollow woven tape is uniformly filled with a flexible filler injected through fiber injection equipment. The flexible filler is injected into the woven tapes by fiber injection equipment so elasticity of the woven tape is guaranteed. Since the flexible filler is directly injected into the cavity of the hollow woven tape through a pin-shaped thin pipe arranged on the fiber injection equipment, the woven tapes do not need to be sewn.

An inflatable water sports board has internal spacer threads separating upper and lower faces. The water sports board has side portions free of internal spacer threads. When the water sports board is inflated the side portions expand in a part-circular shape, forming ridges above and below the respective upper and lower faces.
