Multi-wrap airbags and related methods and systems

A method for packing an airbag cushion, the method comprising the steps of:

• at least one of rolling and folding a first set of opposing sides of an airbag cushion towards an inflator opening of the airbag cushion to form a first compressed airbag configuration;
• securing an inner wrap about the first compressed airbag configuration, wherein the inner wrap is configured to break upon inflation of the airbag cushion to allow the airbag cushion to expand;
• at least one of rolling and folding a second set of opposing sides of an airbag cushion towards an inflator opening of the airbag cushion to form a second compressed airbag configuration, wherein the second set of opposing sides extend in a direction at least substantially perpendicular to the first set of opposing sides;
• and
• securing an outer wrap about the second compressed airbag configuration such that the inner wrap is positioned within the second compressed airbag configuration and within the outer wrap, wherein the outer wrap is configured to break upon inflation of the airbag cushion to allow the airbag cushion to expand, and wherein the airbag is configured such that the outer wrap breaks prior to the inner wrap during inflation of the airbag cushion.

A vehicle airbag assembly, comprising:

• an airbag cushion;
• an inner wrap positioned around a first portion of the airbag cushion, wherein the inner wrap is configured to separate upon inflation of the airbag cushion;
• and
• an outer wrap positioned around a second portion of the airbag cushion, wherein the outer wrap is configured to separate upon inflation of the airbag cushion, wherein the inner wrap is positioned within the outer wrap, and wherein the inner and outer wraps are positioned and configured such that deployment of the airbag cushion with an inflator results in sequential separation of the inner and outer wraps.
