  • Patent number: 3990726
    Abstract: The bag has at least one rip which is normally sealed by sewing, adhesion or welding with a calculated strength so that the rip may open and relieve the bag pressure when the bag pressure exceeds a predetermined pressure due to collision of the passenger against the inflated bag. The open rip may be exposed to the atmosphere, but alternatively an inflatable auxiliary bag may be attached to the former bag in such an arrangement that the discharged gas is received in the auxiliary bag.
