Airbag and method for folding an airbag

摘要

Two walls of the airbag(10) lying one on top of the other are laid in folds(12), the fold edges of which run in a straight line and parallel to one another. The individual folds have different heights(h). The sequence of fold heights is selected so that the fold edges of two folds following each other on one side edge(14,16) of the airbag do not lie directly one above the other. The sequence of fold heights is such that the centre of gravity of the folded airbag lies close to an imaginary centre line(24) in order to influence the exit direction of the airbag when it is inflated.
