Abstract: Textile lever device including an airbag (one-piece-woven or OPW airbag) having single-layer and multi-layer areas, the airbag being woven in one piece, with inflatable chambers lying next to each other substantially in a main direction of pull, specifically a main chamber and at least one first side chamber connected to the main chamber via a single-layer area, wherein the chambers have an upper fabric layer and a lower fabric layer, and wherein pull threads running in the main direction of pull are firmly anchored in the upper or lower fabric layer of the first side chamber, are moveably looped through the single-layer area, and in the main chamber are moveably looped on alternately in the upper fabric layer and lower fabric layer at predefined distances oriented to the main direction of pull, and are anchored to at least one point in the main chamber.

Abstract: An OPW airbag having two opposing fabric layers made of warp and weft threads with at least one spacer that delimits the spacing of a chamber delimited by the fabric layers in the inflated state of the airbag. The spacer is formed by several of the warp and/or weft threads, so-called tethering threads, which, relative to the inflated state, extend from each layer in the direction of the opposing layer and are connected to warp and/or weft threads of the opposing layer. When warp tethering threads enter the opposing fabric layer, they each initially link with n weft threads and then float over at least n+1 weft threads in the interior of the chamber. When weft tethering threads enter the opposing fabric layer, they initially link with n warp threads and then float over at least n+1 warp threads in the interior of the chamber.

Abstract: A seam construction for a woven fabric for an OPW airbag, in particular for person restraint systems, which seam construction is characterized by a weaving seam having a single-layer region which is surrounded by an at least two-layer region, the individual layers of which have in each case a looser woven structure than the single-layer region.
