AIRBAG AND METHOD OF PRODUCTION OF AIRBAG
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.
SEAM-SEALED CURTAIN AIRBAG CUSHION
Provided is a seam-sealed curtain airbag cushion that makes a panel with a fabric to which a silicone coating liquid is applied and doubly couples a first panel and a second panel constituting the panel by means of a silicone sealant and a sewing yarn so as to maintain the internal pressure thereof for a period of time in the event of a side crush or vehicle overturning. The seam-sealed curtain airbag cushion has the improvements in the tensile strength and tearing strength and is not deteriorated in performance even under various external environments.
Film airbags
Inflatable airbag for a vehicle which is deployed in the event of an accident involving the vehicle to provide protection for an occupant of the vehicle includes a plurality of ribbons coupled together to define an enclosed, fluid-retaining space and a layer of film laminated on at least one of an outer side of the woven ribbons and an inner side of the ribbons. The ribbons may be made from polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester or polyamide and the layers of film may be made from polyethylene, polyurethane, polyester or polyamide. The ribbons and layers of film may be made of the same or different materials.
