  • Publication number: 20130040522
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polyester fiber applicable to an airbag fabric, and more particularly to a polyester fiber, a preparation method for the polyester fiber, and an airbag fabric prepared from the polyester fiber, where the polyester fiber has an elongation of 0.8 to 2.0% under a tensile strength of 1.0 g/d at the room temperature, and an additional elongation of 1.5 to 5% under a tensile strength of 8.8 g/d to the maximum. The polyester fiber of the present invention which secures low initial Young's modulus and good mechanical properties can be used in an airbag fabric not only to provide excellences in air sealing effect as well as packing property and dimensional stability but also to minimize collision impacts on occupants, thereby protecting the occupants with safety.

  • Publication number: 20110012331
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a side curtain airbag and an airbag system comprising the same. The side curtain airbag according to the present invention comprises an inflating part having gas inflatability, a non-inflating part supporting the inflating part, and an adhered part constituting a boundary between the inflating part and the non-inflating part. The adhered part is coated with a seam sealant and sewed. The initial maximum pressure of the inflating part is 40 KPa or more when injecting a gas therein with an instant pressure of at least 10 bar, and the pressure after 6 seconds is 25 KPa or more. The side curtain airbag according to the present invention optimizes to apply the method of seam sealant coating and sewing on the adhered part constituting a boundary between the inflating part and the non-inflating part. Thus, it can keep the internal gas pressure of the airbag to the extent of protecting passengers safely at rollover.

  • Publication number: 20080231025
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an inflatable fabric, and more particularly to an inflatable fabric comprising two separated fabric layers which are woven at the same time using a weaving machine, and at least one an attachment area where a single layer of fabric is formed, wherein said attachment area is formed from at least a weave pattern of at least 13 yarns selected from the group consisting of a 2/2 basket weave pattern, a satin weave pattern, a partial attaching weave of a double layer weave pattern, and a combination thereof Since the attachment area of the inflatable fabric of the present invention comprises at least 13 yarns, air leakage can be minimized during inflation. Also, because sewing is unnecessary, manufacture cost of shock-absorbing products including an airbag can be reduced. Further, with a superior weaving property and surface smoothness, the fabric of the present invention can be utilized for shock-absorbing products when coated with synthetic resins.
