A front airbag comprises a front wall (20) facing an associated occupant in the inflated state which front wall serves for cushioning the vehicle occupant and is secured to a peripheral wall of the front airbag (12). The front wall (20) is composed of at least two cut parts (28a, 28b) so that it is curved toward the vehicle occupant and is not adapted to be flatly spread.

A passenger-side airbag includes a first side panel, a second side panel opposite the first side panel, a first center panel having a first side edge part toward the first side panel, a second side edge part opposite the first side edge part, and a first front face situated between the first side edge part and the second side edge part to face an occupant, and a second center panel having a third side edge part toward the second side panel, a fourth side edge part opposite the third side edge part, and a second front face situated between the third side edge part and the fourth side edge part to face an occupant, wherein the second side edge part has a flange projecting in an opposite direction from the first side edge part, and the flange is bonded to the fourth side edge part such that the second front face bulges relative to the first front face.

A restraint system includes a reaction surface and an airbag supported by the reaction surface. The airbag is inflatable along an axis away from the reaction surface to an inflated position. The airbag includes an inner portion and an outer portion concentric with the inner portion about the axis. The inner portion and the outer portion define a gap therebetween in the inflated position. The airbag includes a panel extending radially across the gap from the inner portion to the outer portion. The panel is uninflatable.

Provided is an airbag which can be easily manufactured though it is provided with a tether inside, and has a reduced fear of gas leakage from a joint region. The airbag includes a joint region of outer circumferential edges of a pair of walls. The joint region includes, between the outer circumferential edges of the pair of walls, a sealing member which has elasticity, and has adhesiveness in an unsolidified state. The joint region is formed by such a sewing that runs a sewing thread through an application area of the sealing member. A tether connects the pair of walls. The joint region includes a region in which the sealing member has a solidified, thus non-adhesive surface, and is pressed against at least one of the walls by the non-adhesive surface, and penetrated by the sewing thread in that state.

Coupling spots are properly protected upon reception of gas pressure. A seam is possessed as a partition that partitions the interior of an airbag, and the seam is a coupling spot along which a frontal-side base fabric and a backside base fabric are coupled to each other. First and second reinforcing fabrics are provided on inner sides of the frontal-side base fabric and the backside base fabric, and the first and second reinforcing fabrics have remaining margins that are oriented toward the gas supply side in the downward direction rather than toward the seam, and each of the remaining margins functions as a shield wall against a flow of gas toward the seam.

It is provided a vehicle seat for a motor vehicle, comprising a gas bag inflatable for the protection of a vehicle occupant, which in the inflated condition extends on a side of the vehicle seat facing a vehicle interior; and a retaining element via which the gas bag is connected with a backrest frame of the vehicle seat. There is further provided at least one fastening structure molded to the retaining element, via which a positive connection of the retaining element with the backrest frame exists.

The invention relates to an inflatable airbag (1) for the protection of a person comprising a flexible sheath (10) which comprises at least two fingerlike extensions (11), wherein the flexible sheath (10) delimits a closed gas expansion chamber by the fingerlike extensions (11). The invention excels by the fact that the fingerlike extensions (11) are connected by at least one of being stitched, glued or welded to each other so that in an inflated state the airbag (1) takes a three-dimensional shape. The invention further relates to an airbag module, a vehicle occupant restraint system as well as vehicle parts comprising such airbag.

It is provided a gas bag which is inflatable for the protection of a vehicle occupant, comprising: a first gas bag layer and a second gas bag layer, wherein a first fabric blank forms the first gas bag layer and a second fabric blank forms the second gas bag layer, wherein the first fabric blank and the second fabric blank each are woven from threads. The gas bag includes at least one elongate portion which extends along a longitudinal direction and which is formed by at least a part of the first gas bag layer and at least a part of the second gas bag layer.

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).

A front airbag comprises a front wall (20) facing an associated occupant in the inflated state which front wall serves for cushioning the vehicle occupant and is secured to a peripheral wall of the front airbag (12). The front wall (20) is composed of at least two cut parts (28a, 28b) so that it is curved toward the vehicle occupant and is not adapted to be flatly spread.
