  • Patent number: 5791532
    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.
