Patent number: 10087574Abstract: Markings visible by automatic optically guided cutting equipment are provided in a fabric such as a double layer fabric for one-piece-woven air bags by groups of black marker weft yarns which contrast with the other (white) weft yarns and warp yarns. The marker weft yarns emerge onto the upper face of the fabric only in predetermined marker areas spaced apart in the warp direction by other white weft yarns to afford optically identifiable markings spaced apart along said weft yarns and spaced apart along the direction of the warp yarns. The arrangement avoids the need for black warp yarns and thus avoids the inconveniences and loom down-time associated with required alterations to the locations of such optically detectable marker areas in the fabric web.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2007Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: AUTOLIV DEVELOPMENT ABInventors: Altay Kismir, Willhelm Heinrichs, Brian Parry, Keri Kennedy, Kevin Smith

Patent number: 8991855Abstract: A fabric for use in the manufacture of an inflatable air-bag, the fabric having interwoven warp fibers and weft fibers which are arranged substantially perpendicular to one another, one or more of the warp and weft fibers being at least partially coated with an adhesive substance to increase the friction between the warp and weft fibers at their intersections. In another embodiment, the fabric is formed from fibers having a central core and another sheath.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2012Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Autoliv Development ABInventors: Altay Kismir, David Stow, Gary Wootton, Hugh Finn, Ralf Koehnen

Patent number: 8828893Abstract: A fabric for an air-bag is woven in a pattern which comprises a plurality of fields. At least one of the fields has a first weave pattern, and at least another of the fields has a second weave pattern. The second weave pattern is relatively loosely-woven compared to the first weave pattern. The fabric may be used in the region of one or more mounts of an air-bag.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2007Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Autoliv Delevopment ABInventors: Altay Kismir, Anorin Shaker

Patent number: 8733788Abstract: A method of forming a fabric for an air-bag, the method comprising providing a plurality of yarns, each yarn being formed from a plurality of individual fibres; applying an activatable additive or coating to each yarn, the additive or coating initially not being activated and wherein, prior to activation, the additive or coating presents little or no impedance to the relative movement of the fibres within the yarn and, following activation, the additive or coating binds fibres within the yarn to one another to prevent or hinder relative movement of the fibres in the yarn with respect to one another; and passing the yarns through an activation zone including a compressing component which applies a compressive force to the yarns, the additive or coating being activated as the yarns pass through the activation zone so that the yarns each have a substantially flat configuration.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2011Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Autoliv Development ABInventors: Hugh Finn, Ralf Koehnen, David Stow, Gary Wootton, Altay Kismir, Will Winzinger, Gonzalo Alves

Patent number: 8669194Abstract: An air bag formed from a one piece woven air bag material having warp threads (10) and weft threads (20) composed of different polymeric fibers. The air bag in accordance with this invention is inexpensive to fabricate without compromises on strength by providing the weft threads (20) and the warp threads (10) have the same thread linear density.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2011Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: Autoliv Development ABInventors: Altay Kismir, Denis Jimmy Bray

Patent number: 7909358Abstract: An air-bag in the form of an air-bag is disclosed, having an upper edge provided with mounting tabs to mount the upper edge to a motor vehicle. The upper edge of the air-bag is also provided with a gas inlet throat at a position between the ends of the upper edge. The gas inlet throat is configured to receive an end part of an elongate gas generator, and the upper edge of the air-bag is provided with a gas generator retainer, in the form of a loop to engage part of the gas generator.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2004Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: Autoliv Development ABInventors: Altay Kismir, Conrad Fricke, Jonathan Moore, Paul Jeram

Publication number: 20100035499Abstract: A fabric for an air-bag is disclosed, the fabric being woven in a special pattern which comprises a plurality of fields (57-65), at least one of the fields (59) having a first weave pattern, and at least another of the fields (57) having a second weave pattern. The second weave pattern is relatively loosely-woven compared to the first weave pattern. The invention also relates to an air-bag formed using such a fabric, preferably in the region of one or more mounts of nine of the air-bag.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2007Publication date: February 11, 2010Applicant: AUTOLIV DEVELOPMENT ABInventors: Altay Kismir, Anorin Shaker
