Textile gas bag material, a protective cushion for an occupant restraint system and a method for producing the textile gas bag material

A protective cushion for an occupant restraint system, said cushion being a side curtain, said side curtain comprising:

• at least one fabric layer having two superimposed wall portions interwoven with each other at their peripheries,
• the wall portions having a first side with a surface area on which at least one continuous foil of an air-tight material is applied over the entire surface area,
• the foil bonding with the wall portions of the fabric layer by a separate low-viscous substance applied between the fabric layer and the foil, the low-viscous substance being applied in a quantity of no more than 100 g/m2,
• the low-viscous substance having a melting point temperature lower than the melting point temperature of the foil so that the low-viscous substance bonds to the fabric and foil without melting the foil.

A method for producing a textile gas bag material, said method comprising the steps of:

• interweaving at least two fabric wall portions of a fabric layer at their peripheries;
• and
• bonding at least one continuous foil of an air-tight material over the entire surface area of the first side of the wall portions,
• wherein the foil is bonded to the fabric wall portions by a separate low-viscous substance comprising a bonding agent, the low-viscous substance being used in a quantity of no more than 100 g/m2,
• the low-viscous substance having a melting point temperature lower than the melting point temperature of the foil so that the low-viscous substance bonds to the fabric wall portions without melting the foil.
