20150368834 | Woven Fabric for Air Bag - The purpose of the present invention is to provide a woven fabric for an air bag, that, during high-pressure deployment at high speed, has excellent air permeability suppression as an air bag, has high tear strength, has excellent reliability under high loads, and maintains same even after exposure to a high-temperature environment. This woven fabric for an air bag comprises a synthetic fiber and is characterized by the asymmetry (R), in the front and back of the woven fabric and indicated by the following formula, of the radius of curvature (φ) of an intersecting section in which the warp thread and the weft thread come in contact in the cross section of the woven fabric, being in the range 1.05-1.50. R=φa/φb (φa indicates the larger radius of curvature out of the radii of curvature (φ) in the front and back surfaces of the woven fabric, and φb indicates the smaller radius of curvature). | 12-24-2015 |
20160075302 | PACKAGE CONFIRMATION QUALITY CHECK TOOL FOR AN AIRBAG SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF - An airbag system includes an inflatable airbag including an aperture and an indicator, the indicator viewable through the aperture when the inflatable airbag is in a packaged condition. A method of packaging an inflatable airbag includes rolling an inflatable airbag into a packaged configuration and confirming the indicator is visible through the aperture when the inflatable airbag is in the packaged condition. | 03-17-2016 |
20160185315 | AIRBAG FABRICS WOVEN FROM SLIT-FILM POLYMERIC TAPES - Disclosed herein is the preparation of woven fabrics suitable for use in manufacturing vehicle airbags. Such fabrics are woven from a plurality of polymeric, e.g., polyamide, warp and weft tapes which have preferably been slitted, preferably in the machine direction, from a thermoplastic polymer film, and preferably from such a film which has been drawn at least in the machine direction. The resulting fabrics exhibit both the relatively low basis weight, stiffness and small packing volume typical of nylon films, and the relatively high tear strength and high damage tolerance of yarn-based woven airbag fabrics. | 06-30-2016 |
