Abstract
An airbag fabric for an airbag comprises a mounting area (22) for mounting the airbag. The mounting area (22) includes a mounting hole (24), a load portion (26) which is adjacent to the mounting hole (24) in a load direction (B), and a transition portion (28) which is adjacent to the mounting hole (24) against the load direction (B). Furthermore, the load portion (26) and the transition portion (28) include different weaves. The fabric in the load portion (26) exhibits lower resistance to displacement than in the transition portion (28) so that a fiber bead forms of the fabric fibers of the load portion (26), which fiber bead is adjacent to the mounting hole (24) in the load direction (B), if bearing stress acts upon the mounting hole (24) in the load direction (B).
Claims27
An airbag fabric for an airbag comprising a mounting area for mounting the airbag,
- wherein the mounting area includes a mounting hole, a load portion which is adjacent to the mounting hole in a load direction, and a transition portion with is adjacent to the mounting hole against the load direction,
- wherein the load portion and the transition portion include different weaves and the fabric in the load portion exhibits lower resistance to displacement than in the transition portion so that a fiber bead forms of the fabric fibers of the load portion, the fiber bead being adjacent to the mounting hole in the load direction, if bearing stress acts upon the mounting hole in the load direction, wherein the airbag fabric is a one-piece-woven fabric in which the threads of opposite walls of an inflatable chamber at the edge merge into a joint weave.
The airbag fabric for an airbag comprising a mounting area for mounting the airbag,
- wherein the mounting area includes a mounting hole which is disposed in a load portion, and a transition portion which is adjacent to the load portion toward an edge of the airbag,
- wherein the load portion and the transition portion include different weaves and the fabric in the load portion exhibits lower resistance to displacement than in the transition portion so that a fiber bead forms of the fabric fibers of the area of the load portion, which fiber bead is adjacent to the mounting hole in a load direction, if bearing stress acts upon the mounting hole in the load direction, wherein the airbag fabric is a one-piece-woven fabric in which the threads of opposite walls of an inflatable chamber at the edge merge into a joint weave.
The airbag fabric for an airbag comprising a mounting area for mounting the airbag,
- wherein the mounting area includes a mounting hole which is disposed in a load portion, and a transition portion which is adjacent to the load portion toward an edge of the airbag,
- wherein the load portion and the transition portion include different weaves and the fabric in the load portion exhibits lower resistance to displacement than in the transition portion so that a fiber bead forms of the fabric fibers of the area of the load portion, which fiber bead is adjacent to the mounting hole in a load direction, if bearing stress acts upon the mounting hole in the load direction, wherein a cushioning portion is adjacent to the load portion.
