摘要:
An airbag fabric is made from multifilament yarns each comprised of a plurality of individual filaments, with each filament having a linear density in the range from about eight (8) decitex to about eleven (11) decitex per filament, and more preferably a linear density in the range from about nine (9) decitex to about eleven (11) decitex per filament. The fabric has a circular bend stiffness in the range of about four (4) Newtons to about seven (7) Newtons, as measured in accordance with ASTM method D4032-94.

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.

The present invention relates to an inflatable two-layer fabric, and provides an inflatable two-layer fabric comprising two separated fabric layers, woven at the same time using a weaving machine, and an attachment area attaching said two fabric layers. Since the inflatable fabric of the present invention requires no sewing, it can significantly reduce manufacturing costs. Particularly, since all fabric layers are formed of a plain weave, airbags having a variety of shapes can be manufactured using a jacquard weaving machine. Further, since it has superior weaving property and smoothness, it can be utilized for side curtain airbags and other shock-absorbing products.

Coated inflatable fabrics, more particularly airbags to which very low add-on amounts of coating have been applied, are provided which exhibit extremely low air permeabilities. The inventive fabrics are primarily for use in automotive restraint cushions which require low permeability characteristics (such as side curtain airbags). Traditionally, heavy, and thus expensive, coatings of compounds such as neoprene, silicones and the like, have been utilized to provide such required low permeability. The inventive fabric utilizes an inexpensive, very thin coating to provide such necessary low permeability levels. Thus, the inventive coated airbag possesses a coating of at most 3.0 ounces per square yard, most preferably about 0.8 ounces per square yard, and exhibits a leak-down time (a measurement of the time required for the entire amount of gas introduced within the airbag at peak pressure during inflation to escape the airbag at 10 psi) of at least 5 seconds as well as very low packing volumes (for more efficient use of storage space within a vehicle). All coatings, in particular elastomeric, preferably, though not necessarily, non-silicon coatings, and coated airbags meeting these criteria are intended to reside within the scope of this invention.

A base cloth for a coated airbag which has a base fabric composed of flat cross section yarns having a flatness ratio (i.e. a ratio of the major axis to the minor axis of the cross-section of a single yarn) of 1.5 to 8 and, applied thereon, a resin elastomer, characterized in that respective single yarns are arranged in a manner such that a total average horizontality index (HI) represented by the following formula is in the range of 0.75 to 1.0, and the resin elastomer is attached in an amount of 0.1 to 60 g/cm 2 . The base cloth for a coated airbag combines mechanical properties, flame resistance, non air permeability, flexibility, compactness and containability in good balance of them.

An air bag having light weight and a flexibility, capable of being stored more compactly, highly durable with respect to a load during an operation thereof and long-term aging, and formed of a bag body of two pieces of woven fabric comprising polyamide synthetic fibers containing 30-200 ppm copper compound in terms of copper, or a three-dimensionally and properly formed cut cloth, characterized in that the woven fabrics have a product of a total fineness of weft yarn or warp yarn and fabric density of not more than 1600 decitex.number of yarns/2.54 cm, a load at an elongation percentage of 15 % of 3-35 N/%/2.54 cm, and an extension breakage work volume before the occurrence of breakage of 7000-30000 N.%/2.54 cm. This air bag can be used as any one of an air bag for driver's seat of an automobile, an air bag for an assistant driver's seat thereof and a side air bag thereof.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for weaving fabrics that comprise in at least some sections multiple layers, especially one-piece woven (OPW) airbags comprising single-layer, double-layer and multi-layer sections. According to the inventive method, weaves or weave combinations are produced in the double- or multi-layer sections that are different from the plain weave.

This invention relates to airships (10), with a volume in 15 to 60 million cubic feet of Helium. More particularly, it relates to improved structural envelope/gas bags (12) or outer covers for lighter-than-air and neutral buoyancy airships (10). In detail, the material (20) is a multi-layer cloth assembly including at least two plies of fiber cloth (62), said cloth (62) comprising 56 by 56 yarns/inch with a total weight of 150 to 450 g/m2, with the fiber of the individual cloth layers having a denier generally between 180 and 280 and with the fill of the individual plies at 90 degrees to each other. Preferably, the filaments should be between 200 and 215 denier. The fibers of each layer of cloth (62) are selected from the group consisting of extended chain polyethylene polymer or a thermotropic liquid (melt spun) crystalline polymer. The extended chain polyethylene fiber is a woven modified rip stop weave architecture, while the thermotropic liquid (melt spun) crystalline polymer fiber is a 2x2 basket weave architecture.
摘要:
This disclosure describes fabric and a method for making fabric, for use in a flexible pressure vessel or other fabric structures, which has an unbalanced woven construction and has a balanced or nearly balanced modulus of elasticity for the end-use conditions of this fabric. Unbalanced woven fabrics that do not have balanced properties produce unequal stretching and are susceptible to premature failure. The present invention of unbalanced woven fabric construction with balanced mechanical properties such as modulus of elasticity can be used to optimize fabric strength, mass, volume, and performance characteristics and also reduce manufacturing costs for various fabric structure applications. Balanced mechanical properties for the fabric structure are achieved by altering the force of the fabric by increasing or decreasing the number of yarns in a particular direction of the fabric, by changing the strain during stretch of the fabric, or by alternative weaves of the fabric.
