Patent number: 7100943Abstract: A gas bag module comprises a gas bag with a gas bag wall having a front wall serving as an impact surface for an occupant, where, in an inflated state of said gas bag, the front wall has a centric orifice as a transition to an indentation. The indentation is formed by restraining a center section of the gas bag wall during inflation and preventing the center section from moving freely. The orifice is surrounded by a stabilizer defined by a closed ring in a region of the orifice and the stabilizer is a part separate from the gas bag wall.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2004Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: TRW Automotive Safety Systems GmbHInventors: Ralf Koch, Philipp Ritter

Patent number: 6746042Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing a vehicle interior lining, especially a dashboard having a carrier part and, attached to the carrier part, a gas bag module containing a gas bag carrier and a gas bag that has a folded package section. The gas bag, together with its package section, is placed into a gas bag receptacle that is formed on the gas bag carrier and that has an outlet opening for the gas bag. The outlet opening is at least partially closed in the area of the package section by a rigid part. An outside surface of the carrier part is foam-encapsulated with a plastic layer in a state in which the gas bag module is connected to the carrier part. Moreover, the invention relates to a vehicle interior lining.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2002Date of Patent: June 8, 2004Assignee: TRW Occupant Restraint Systems GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20020106957Abstract: Airbag fabric, method for its manufacture and its use An airbag fabric is proposed with which, in order to increase the static friction of the yarns at the intersections of the warp and the weft, crystalline and/or amorphous particles are incorporated in at least some of the openings remaining between their intersections. The airbag fabric can be manufactured on a padding machine in that a strip of the raw fabric is passed through an aqueous dispersion of colloidal silicic acid and subsequently dried. The fabric is used for the manufacture of airbags.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2002Publication date: August 8, 2002Applicant: TRW Occupant Restraint Systems GmbH & Co.
