Airbag packet, production method therefor and airbag device

摘要

To provide a method for shaping an airbag into a predetermined packet by simply compressing the airbag without regularly folding the airbag. A curtain airbag 1 is placed in a case 10 so that an upper side thereof is disposed near a bottom face 17 and a lower side thereof is disposed near an opening 16. The curtain airbag 1 is inflated by the supply of air. The curtain airbag 1 is compressed from a side of the opening 16 toward the bottom face 17 by a contact member 30. In this case, air is discharged from the curtain airbag 1 through an aperture 6 for an inflator. After the curtain airbag 1 is compressed into a predetermined small packet, an airbag packet 1' is drawn out of the case 10 while sliding along the bottom face 17. After the airbag packet 1' is drawn out of the case 10, the shape of the airbag packet 1' is retained by a shape-retaining member.
