<p>An airbag assembly 10 comprising an airbag cushion 18 with a vent assembly 20, as well as a method of forming thereof. The airbag cushion is inflatable by a gas, and defines at least one opening (24, see figures 2A, 2B) having a first area. Said opening is configured to allow at least a portion of the gas to exit the airbag cushion. At least one panel (26) is positionable over the at least one opening to partially obstruct it. Preferably the panel is formed of either a permeable, or a non-permeable membrane that reduces the first area; the area reduction ranges from 30% to 50%; the at least one panel defines at least one slot (30, see figures 3A, 3B), or aperture (32) having a second area that is smaller than the first area; at least one vent cover (28) selectively covers said opening.</p> |
