Abstract: A method for weaving fabrics that comprise in at least some sections multiple layers, especially one-piece woven (OPW) airbags comprising single-layer, double-layer and multi-layer sections. Weaves or weave combinations are produced in the double- or multi-layer sections that are different from the plain weave.

Abstract: A method for producing woven airbags, especially at least partially multi-layered airbags, includes the following steps: the warp threads are prepared in a warping room, warp threads which are suitable as marker threads for machine-readable markings being already placed in the warp; the airbag material is woven, weft threads which are suitable as marker threads for machine-readable markings being interlaced over at least part of the width of the cloth; and the airbag is cut out of the airbag material using a cutting device which is guided by the interlaced machine-readable markings.

Abstract: A method for weaving single-layered and/or multi-layered woven fabric, especially airbag fabric, includes interweaving warp threads delivered by at least two warp beams.

Abstract: The available fabric mass in the one-piece woven airbag as tailorized by the method, now makes it possible to reinforce the airbag fabric individually oriented. Thus, at a high stress location formerly exhibiting airbag tears, a fabric quality is now available of enhanced resistance, achieved among other things by an increase in the thermal capacity in the neuralgic locations of the airbag where namely the jet lances feature their so-called jet gill zone.

Abstract: A method for producing woven fabrics, especially airbag woven fabrics, while using a multiphase weaving machine in the following steps: weaving a fabric comprised of filament threads in warp and weft on the multiphase weaving machine, whereby a high shrinking type of yarn is used as the warp and an average to low shrinking type of yarn is used as the weft, and finishing the woven fabric by hydroshrinking and/or thermoshrinking.
