Abstract: The invention relates to a collision protection device, especially for passengers in vehicles and more especially in motor vehicles, consisting of a cushion or a cover plate, an air bag, a securing component, electronic or mechanical devices and a gas generator, in which the air bag consists of a coated or uncoated fabric, a lower section (2) with a gas inlet aperture, which may be fitted with a flame guard, an upper section (1), one or more multi-layer safety stop bands (3), where the ends of the safety stop band(s) is/are secured by sewn seams (4) to the upper section, the lower section, other components or, if there are more than one of them, together, in which the sewn seams are substantially circular or oval within the ends of the safety stop band(s).

Abstract: A process is disclosed for reversing and end shaping inflatable bodies made of coated or uncoated fabric, in particular airbags, by using a device having a reversing pipe that receives the body or airbag; a die provided with a compressed air connection and an inflating hole and which pushes the body or airbag completely into the reversing pipe when it moves downwards and at the same time reverses the body or airbag; a sealing element that makes the top edge of the reversing pipe pressure-tight once the die has finished moving; and a collecting device in the area of the reversing pipe end in which the body or airbag is end shaped after being pushed out of the reversing pipe by a compressed air blast blown through the die so as to inflate and deploy the reversed airbag.

Abstract: A collision protection device, in particular for occupants of vehicles, particularly of motor vehicles, includes a cushion of covering cap, an airbag, a fastening part (e.g. metal holding sheet), electronic or mechanical devices, and a gas generator, whereby the airbag made of fabric (e.g. polyamide fabric) with or without a coating, in turn has a fastening part on the gas inflow side. This fastening part is equipped with a fire protection, if need be; a top part (person impact side), and catch belts, whereby the ends of the catch belts are connected with other construction components or with each other (joints). The catch belts or other construction components of the airbag have a perforation namely within the zone of the respective joints.

Abstract: A collision protection device for the occupants of a motor vehicle having a fabric air bag having a top part, a bottom part and a plurality of catch belts arranged within the air bag. The catch belts are formed by the fabric segments of the reinforcing parts mounted on the inside of the top and bottom parts of the bag. The fabric segments being set in the direction of the interior space of the air bag and are sewn together in an overlapping configuration in the center zone to form a joint between the top and bottom parts of the air bag. Each of the catch belts is at least double-layered and extends into the interior space between the top and bottom parts of the air bag, each of the layers being connected with each other in the joint formed at the center zone.
