    Abstract: Coating compositions, which are used as a monolithic coating layer for airbags. The coating compositions include a combination of urethanes which are blended together. At least one of the urethane components provides gas-retaining properties and the other provides the aging stability. The gas-retaining urethane may be characterized as having high tensile strength at break, high elongation at break, and a 100% modulus less than 1,200 psi. The aging stability urethane has a polycarbonate backbone as result of a manufacturing process in which a polycarbonate diol is reacted with an isocyanate. The resulting coating compositions, when applied as a single layer to an airbag fabric, result in an airbag with good gas retention and aging stability.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to the use of specific hybrid resins as airbag coatings. Preferably, the polymers used to create these hybrid resins, as described herein, are urethanes blended with acrylates, vinyls, silicones, and combinations thereof, where at least one of the components has a glass transition temperature of 20° C. or less. The urethanes are preferably of the polycarbonate, polytetramethyleneglycol, silicon-based diol, or olefin-based diol type. The hybrid resins may be produced in an aqueous dispersion, in a solvent, or by mixing the polymers together where one polymer is dissolved directly into a second polymer to form a continuous matrix. The resulting hybrid resins exhibit a tensile strength of at least 1,000 p.s.i. and an elongation at break of at least about 200%.

    Abstract: An inflatable side protection airbag having a first panel and a second panel, in which the first panel and second panel each have an anterior portion and a posterior portion. The first panel may comprise the outboard portion of the inflated structure. The second panel may be formed in separate fabric pieces which are sewn together, reducing the overall amount of fabric required to construct the second panel. A bridging portion may be provided in the second panel. The bridging portion may be provided adjacent a void area which is positioned at least partially between the anterior portion and the posterior portion of the second panel. An anterior portion of the first panel is mated to the anterior portion of the second panel in forming a front pillow. A posterior portion of the first panel is mated to the posterior portion of the second panel to form a back pillow. The ratio of the amount of fabric actually employed in the final product to the amount of fabric blank utilized for the construction may be as much as eighty or even ninety percent or greater for some designs.

    Abstract: An airbag cushion for use in a vehicle restraint system is provided. The airbag cushion is formed from two or more body panel sections of substantially similar straight line geometry which are joined to one another by two substantially straight seams along corresponding lateral boundary edges. Each of the body panel sections is made up of one or more panels or pieces. The upper boundary edges of the body panel sections which are not joined to one another are joined around the perimeter of a rectilinear center panel by a series of substantially straight seams. A method of forming the cushion according to the present invention is also provided.

    Abstract: Airbag cushions manufactured from polyester yarn having certain levels of intrinsic viscosity (IV) and certain specific carboxyl end group (“CEG”) levels perform unexpectedly well in high temperature and high humidity environments for airbag cushion applications. This specification identifies certain polyester yarns and characteristics of such polyester yarns that are necessary to achieve unexpectedly good performance in such high humidity and high temperature applications. A polymeric polyester yarn for airbags, said yarn having a high degree of tenacity even after a long period of exposure to high temperature and high humidity conditions is disclosed. In one aspect of the invention, a polyester yarn having CEG of less than about 60 equivalents/106 gram, and more preferably less than about 30 equivalents/106 grams, is particularly useful. In another embodiment, a polyester yarn having an IV value of at least about 0.6 performs exhibits superior properties.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an airbag cushion, which simultaneously exhibits a very low amount of fabric utilized to produce the target airbag cushion in correlation to an overall high amount of available inflation airspace within the cushion itself. These two correlative elements are now combined for the first time in what is defined as an effective fabric usage index (being the quotient of the amount of fabric utilized in the construction of the airbag cushion and the available inflation airspace volume). The inventive airbag cushion must possess an effective fabric usage factor of at most 0.0330. A cushion exhibiting such low seam usage and fabric usage factors and also comprising an integrated looped pocket for the disposition of an inflator can is also provided as well as an overall vehicle restraint system comprising the inventive airbag cushion.
