  • Publication number: 20060119081
    Abstract: A device for folding a gas bag (10) comprises a positioning means for the gas bag (10) with a tubular folding device (32). The positioning means positions the gas bag (10) such that upon an axial movement of the tubular folding device (32), the gas bag (10) is turned over the tubular folding device (32). A method of folding a gas bag (10) having an inflation opening, using a device of this type comprises the following steps: positioning the tubular folding device (32) on the side of the gas bag (10) opposite the inflation opening; axially displacing the tubular folding device (32) through the inflation opening, so that the gas bag (10) is turned over the tubular folding device (32); and withdrawing the tubular folding device (32) from the inflation opening.

  • Publication number: 20060061140
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a vehicle interior paneling part, especially a gas bag cover, includes the positioning of a decorative part in one of an injection and foaming mold, the decorative part having a visible front part in the assembled state and an anchor part that extends therefrom on a rear side. A subsequent partial injection- or partial foam-molding around the decorative part takes place to generate a cover plate and to embed the anchor part at least partially in the cover plate. Thereby, a vehicle interior paneling part is produced.
