A METHOD FOR FOLDING A GAS BAG FOR A VEHICLE OCCUPANT RESTRICTION, A FOLDED GAS BAG FOR A VEHICLE OCCUPANT RESTRICTION AND A DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT THE METHOD.

摘要

The invention refers to a method for folding a gas bag (10) for a vehicle occupant restriction system comprising the following steps: In the first place, the gas bag (10) is extended along a base (16). Then, the edge (14) of the inflation opening (12) of the gas bag (10) is fixed. Then, a plate (19) is placed parallel to the base (16) and at a distance from the same in a manner that the gas bag (10) lies between the base (16) and the plate (19). Then, the interior of the gas bag (10) is operated by means of pressure in a manner that the gas bag (10) is folded between the base (16) and the plate (19). Finally, the wall of the gas bag (10) is compressed within in various sites distributed along its circumference. The invention also refers to a folded gas bag through this method and to a device for carrying out this method.
