The invention relates a method of wrapping an inflatable airbag (31) for the protection of a person, comprising the steps of: folding an airbag (31), fastening the folded airbag (31) to a module carrier, positioning the folded airbag (31) fastened to the module carrier relative to a wrapping (20) including plural surface portions (21) such that the respective outer ends (23) of the surface portions (21) project from the airbag (31), folding each of the outer ends (23) of the surface portions (21) toward the middle (M) of the wrapping (20) so that the folded airbag (31) is wrapped at least in portions, and connecting, especially welding, the outer ends (23) of the surface portions (21) in portions to the airbag (31).

An airbag base fabric having a warp direction energy absorption characteristic defined by formula (1) is 30 to 50 and a weft direction energy absorption characteristic defined by formula (2) is 30 to 50:

Warp Direction Energy Absorption Characteristic=Warp Direction Energy Absorption Amount/Warp Yarn Cover Factor(1)

wherein the warp direction energy absorption amount is a value of integral of stress applied, in measurement of the warp direction tensile strength and elongation at break, from a start of the measurement until the sample breaks; and

Weft Direction Energy Absorption Characteristic=Weft Direction Energy Absorption Amount/Weft Yarn Cover Factor(2)

wherein the weft direction energy absorption amount is a value of the integral of stress applied, in measurement of the weft direction tensile strength and elongation at break, from the start of the measurement until the sample breaks.

An airbag (1) including two opposing side walls (3) a lower wall (4) and an upper wall (5) forming an inflation opening (2) and a front wall (6). The airbag (1) is formed by sections of a one-part cut fabric (7). The upper wall (5) or the lower wall (4) is formed by two sections (8) of the cut fabric (7) along a connection (9), wherein the cut fabric (7) is folded and only the upper wall (5) or only the lower wall (4) is formed from two sections (8) and from the inflation opening (2) one connection (9) of the one-part cut fabric (7) extends toward the front wall (6). The one-part cut-fabric (7) forms a fitting section (10) for a gas generator. In a flatly extended state the fitting section (1) is adjacent to the two sections (8) forming lower wall (4) or the upper wall (5).

An airbag device for restraining an occupant even during an oblique collision and suppressing head injury values. An airbag device 100 includes: a passenger bag 112 which deploys on a front side of a passenger seat 104; a center bag 114 which deploys on an inner side in a vehicle width direction; a slit 128 which separates the passenger bag 112 and the center bag 114 from each other on a vehicle rearward side; and a tether belt 122 which which is connected to a first connecting part 124 on the center bag 114 and a second connecting part 126 on the passenger bag 112. The tether belt 122 is tensioned as the passenger bag 112 and the center bag 114 expand and deploy, and the center bag 114 restrains a side of the occupant head E1a while being supported by the tether belt 122.
