摘要: An inflatable vehicle occupant protection device (12) is located on a steering wheel (14) and includes a lower portion (28) and an upper portion (26). The upper portion (26) is rolled folded and the lower portion (28) is folded in a star pattern. The roll folded portion (26) has an outside surface formed by a front panel (30) of the inflatable vehicle occupant protection device (12) that is intended to face the occupant when the inflatable vehicle occupant protection device is inflated. During inflation, the roll folded portion (26) unrolls such that at least a portion of the inflatable vehicle occupant protection device inflates forward of the steering wheel if the inflatable vehicle occupant protection device, while inflating, encounters an obstruction located too far forward relative to the steering wheel. A method of folding the inflatable vehicle occupant protection device (12) includes folding at least a lower portion (28) in a star pattern and rolling an upper portion (26) to form a roll having an outside surface formed by a front surface (30) of the inflatable vehicle occupant protection device (12).

摘要: An apparatus (10) includes an inflatable vehicle occupant protection device (20), an inflator (30), and a cover (40). The inflator (30) inflates the protection device (20). The cover (40) includes a center section (155) interposed between first and second side sections (151, 152). The cover (40) has a strong tear seam (170) and a weak tear seam (160). The weak tear seam (160) releases when subjected to a first force by the protection device (20). The strong tear seam (170) releases after the weak tear seam (160) releases. The protection device (20), while being inflated, releases the weak tear seam (160) and moves at least one of the side sections (151, 152) away from the center section (155). The protection device (20) deploys through a first area provided by moving the side section (151, 152). The protection device (20) urges a vehicle occupant (15) away from the center section (155). Thereafter, the strong tear seam (170) releases, and the protection device (20) moves the center section (155) away from the first area. The protection device (20) then deploys through a second area provided by moving the center section (155).

摘要: A method of folding an air bag (10) includes locating the air bag in a first configuration with front and back parts (140, 142) overlying each other and with a side part (70) folded and extending outwardly from the front and back parts. First and second portions (150, 152) of the air bag (10) are on opposite sides of a top to bottom centerline (154). A retainer (114) is located adjacent the top edge (144) of the configuration. The air bag (10) is folded from bottom to top to a second configuration in which it overlies and has a height corresponding to the height of the retainer (114). The first and second portions (150, 152) of the air bag (10) have portions (151, 153) that project laterally beyond the sides (124, 126) of the retainer (114). The laterally projecting portions (151, 153) are moved laterally inward to overlie the retainer (114), and the air bag (10) has a width corresponding to the width of the retainer. The first portion (150) of the air bag (10) as thus folded is a mirror image, about the centerline (154), of the second portion (152).

摘要: An inflatable device (10) has a vent (42) for enabling venting of inflation fluid. A patch (50) covers the vent (42). A release thread (70) releasably secures the patch (50) to the device to close the vent (42). A holding mechanism (82) has a first condition in response to a sensor (30) sensing a condition requiring venting of inflation fluid, and a second condition when venting is not required. The holding mechanism (82) when in the first condition holds the release thread (70) so that at least a portion of it pulls away from the patch (50) and the device (10), when the device inflates, thereby releasing the patch to open the vent (42). The holding mechanism (82) when in the second condition releases the release thread (70) for movement with the patch (50) in a direction away from the holding mechanism, when the device (10) inflates.

摘要: An airbag inflator assembly is disclosed that includes a container containing a charge of pressurized gas and having a peripheral surface surrounding an opening in the container. A burst disc member has one side capacitive discharge welded to the peripheral surface of the container to seal the opening and thus confine the pressurized gas within the container. An ignitor assembly includes an ignitor assembly housing and ignition elements constructed and arranged to generate sufficient force to break the seal formed by the burst disc member and release the pressurized gas from the container. The ignitor elements are disposed substantially within the ignitor assembly housing. The ignitor assembly housing is an integrally formed unitary construction capacitive discharge welded to a side of the burst disc member opposite to the one side. In a preferred embodiment, the welds are formed by (1) applying a force to urge i) the first side of the burst disc member into engagement with the peripheral surface of the container and ii) the peripheral surface of the ignitor assembly housing into engagement with the second side of the burst disc member. Also, pulses of electrical discharge are applied i) in a vicinity of the forceable engagement between the first side of the burst disc member and the peripheral surface of the container until welded to one another, and ii) in a vicinity of the forceable engagement between the peripheral surface of the ignitor assembly housing and the second side of the burst disc member until welded to one another.
