Patent number: 7690401Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2004Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Asahi Kasei Chemicals CorporationInventors: Tokio Okuno, Miyoko Kojima

Publication number: 20040152551Abstract: A woven fabric for a toothed belt prepared by using stretchable aligned and twisted yarns as warp yarns and/or weft yarns, in which an elastic fiber and a non-elastic fiber textured yarn are twisted or mixed together, the twist multiplier of the stretchable aligned and twisted yarn is in a range from 1000 to 16000, and a breaking elongation of the woven fabric in the stretchable direction thereof is in a range from 50 to 200%. The toothed belt obtained from this woven fabric is excellent in noise-elimination ability and durability, and allows a reduction in the size of a device and a reduction in the weight thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2003Publication date: August 5, 2004Inventors: Tokio Okuno, Haruhiko Yamamoto
