<p>A strong lightweight airbag cushion (14) for deployment in opposing relation to a vehicle occupant (20) is provided. The cushion (14) is formed from a body of wound yarn (36). The body includes an interior, a face portion for contact with the occupant (20) and a rear portion including an inlet port (70) for the introduction of an inflation medium. The body is formed by the continuous winding of yarn (36) around a mandrel (60) such that the yarn (36) is spread across the face and is disposed preferentially across the back in the area surrounding the inlet port (70) so as to provide added strength in that region.</p> |
