Gas bag e.g. driver's airbag, folding method for use in impact protection device of motor vehicle, involves folding edge sections against each other such that folding lines stay together in pointed angle and distance remains at end of lines

摘要

The method involves folding two lateral edge sections (7, 9) of a gas bag (1) e.g. driver's airbag, against each other, such that folding lines (11) of the edge sections stay together at a pointed angle, and a distance (a) remains at an end of the folding lines, where the pointed angle lies between 30 and 45 degrees. The edge sections run mirror-symmetrically to a vertical axis (13) of an installation position in a housing, where the folding lines of the edge sections run diagonally downward from above to the vertical axis.
