Abstract: The invention relates to an airbag (10), especially for a side curtain airbag system (20), comprising an airbag interior (30) which in the deployed state of the airbag (10) defines one single chamber (40), wherein the chamber (40) comprises a gas guiding device (50) by which the chamber (40) is divided into at least one primary filling zone (41) and at least one secondary filling zone (42), as well as to a vehicle safety system equipped with such airbag (10).

Abstract: The present invention provides for a mounting envelope (1) for receiving a curtain-airbag and for attaching the curtain-airbag to the interior of a vehicle, in particular to the roof frame of a vehicle. The mounting envelope (1) comprises a longitudinal tear-line (3) which is configured to break in the event of a curtain air-bag deployment and extends in a longitudinal direction (L) of the mounting envelope. The mounting envelope is characterized in that it covers at least a major part of a curtain-airbag and in that it comprises at least additional vertical tear-line (7), preferably extending in a direction (V) substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (L).

Abstract: The invention relates to an airbag (12) for an automotive vehicle (10) comprising an airbag fabric (24) forming at least one airbag wall (26, 28) and an elongate flexible tether (20) for positioning the airbag (12) in its deployed state which extends from a first tether end (30) associated with the airbag fabric (24) to an opposite second tether end (32), wherein at the first tether end (30) the tether (20) is tightly sewn to the airbag fabric (24) by a fastening seam (36) and wherein the airbag fabric (24) includes a fabric reinforcing seam (38) which encloses at least part of the fastening seam (36). The invention further relates to a method of mounting a tether (20) on the airbag fabric (24).

Abstract: The invention relates to an inflatable airbag (10) of a curtain airbag comprising an upper edge (11) and a lower edge (12), comprising a front side window portion (13) and a rear side window portion (14) as well as an inner layer (16) facing the interior compartment and an outer layer (16) facing the side windows (45). In accordance with the invention, the airbag (10) includes at least one mechanical reinforcing element (20, 20?) which in the inflated state of the airbag (10) is arranged to be spaced both from the upper edge (11) and from the lower edge (12) in a central area (17) of the height (H) of the airbag (10), the mechanical reinforcing element (20, 20?) being strip-shaped.

Abstract: A curtain airbag the top edge of which includes a plurality of fixing areas cooperating with a fixing element with clipping means for fixing the airbag to the vehicle body in openings provided for that purpose, and a U-shaped clipping lock plate for each fixing element, the fixing element and the clipping lock plate configured such that the clipping lock plate can be shifted in relation to the fixing element, its arms surpassing openings provided for that purpose on the vehicle body and assuring that the clipping means of the fixing element have also surpassed the openings.
