  • Patent number: 7690401
    Abstract: A high-density hollow weave fabric for an air bag is provided, wherein an inflatable double-layer hollow weave portion is encircled on the outer periphery thereof with a seam zone including a reversible figured weave pattern and a basket weave pattern. In the seam zone, the reversible figured weave pattern is closest to the boundary of the inflatable double-layer hollow weave portion, and a first weave portion including the basket weave pattern, a narrow width hollow weave portion and a second basket weave patterns continue in this order. The inventive fabric is woven without the generation of fluffs and wrinkles, and the wrinkle-free coating is provided in the boundary between the double-layer hollow weave portion and the seam zone encircling the former. By using this high-density hollow weave fabric, it is possible to make the curtain-shaped air bag deployable at a high speed while preventing gas from leaking.
