<p>The invention relates to a process for folding an inflatable airbag as a constituent part of a passenger restraint system particularly in motor vehicles, which is arranged folded in a housing or similar accommodation chamber when not in use and in the event of release can be automatically inflated into its form of use by introduction of a gas produced by a gas generator, in which before the start of its folding the airbag (11) is brought into its form of use and starting from this is folded by being acted upon by mechanical folding aids (14; 16; 18), avoiding the formation of double layers of the airbag fabric, in such a way that at least the fold surfaces of the folded airbag (11) formed in the first folding step are arranged in one layer with respect to the gas generator (10) in such a way that the outflowing gas acts directly on the fold surfaces of the folded airbag (11) formed in the first folding step without first flowing round other fold surfaces.</p> |
