Abstract: A roping harness includes a belt, a first and a second leg loop, and shoulder straps. The belt has an inner and an outer face. A first loop is fixed to the belt and designed for attachment of the shoulder straps. A second loop is fixed to the belt and is distinct from the first loop, the second loop being designed to form a ventral attachment point. A first strap defines a ring securely fixed to the belt and to the leg loops, the first strap being attached to the belt by a seam. The first and second loop are arranged in the ring, the first loop being outside the second loop and the second loop being outside the first loop. The first loop is arranged facing the second loop in a direction parallel to a first direction that passes through the inner and the outer face of the belt.

Abstract: Certain aspects and embodiments of the present invention provide an airbag case at least partly made from a relatively flexible material. The flexible material can be configured to provide the airbag components with the ability to connect to the vehicle and provide a channel to guide the flexible membrane upon expansion. In some embodiments, the airbag case includes a pocket formed from the folded flexible material. The pocket may receive a gas generator and a bag and attached to a cover or dashboard and the vehicle.

Abstract: Highly-deformable sealing strips integrating with fabric assemblies (principally of airbags) are detailed. The strips reduce gas leakage from occurring. They also function as mechanical reinforcements of the assemblies.

Abstract: Inflatable devices such as airbags are detailed. The bags may be formed of components well nested on linear rolls of material, reducing material wastage. The airbags additionally may, in some cases, be formed of components lacking curved surfaces; in certain cases the bag components additionally may have complementary surfaces that, although formed of straight segments, resemble convex and concave shapes.

Abstract: Systems for inflating, and venting inflation gas from, objects are detailed. The systems are especially, although not necessarily, adapted for use with vehicle air bags and allow varying amounts of gas to be evacuated from the bags. The bags may include at least one vent hole through their walls and need only one closure band or membrane per hole.
