<p>A novel airbag curtain fold configuration for a safety restraint system, especially well suited to protect occupants of a vehicle from lateral impact is described. One or more airbag curtains are provided to inflate between an occupant and a lateral surface, such as a door or side window. The airbag curtain (10) includes a first (46) and second (48) side. A fold portion (84) is configured adjacent the first side (46) and a rolled portion (88) is configured opposite the fold portion (84) adjacent the second side (48) of the airbag. Attachment tabs (54) may extend from an edge (50, 52) of the airbag curtain (10) beyond the rolled and fold portions to facilitate attachment of the airbag curtain to a vehicle as part of an airbag system. A method for folding an airbag curtain (19) is described. A first edge (50) of the airbag curtain is folded to a position adjacent a first side (46) of the airbag curtain (10). A second edge (52) of the airbag curtain is rolled toward the first edge (50) of the airbag curtain until the rolled portion (88) is substantially adjacent the fold portion (84) on an opposing side of the airbag curtain (10).</p> |
