Airbag for motor vehicles and method for manufacturing an airbag

Abstract

An airbag for a motor vehicle includes an airbag skin having two side walls which enclose a gas chamber. The airbag skin is at least partially rolled to a shaped package in the resting state of the curtain airbag, with the shaped package having a non-circular cross-section. In order to provide a cost-effective way to produce such an airbag and to ensure that the airbag shows a deployment behaviour of a rolled package, the non-circular cross-section is permanent as long as the pressure inside the gas chamber does not exceed the pressure of the environment and is obtainable by plastic conversion of a rolled package with a circular cross-section.
