PROCESS FOR REVERSING AND END SHAPING INFLATABLE BODIES

摘要

A process is disclosed for reversing and end shaping inflatable bodies made of coated or uncoated fabric, in particular airbags, by using a device having a reversing pipe (2) that receives the body or airbag; a die (4) provided with a compressed air connection (5) and an inflating hole (5'') and which pushes the body or airbag completely into the reversing pipe (2) when it moves downwards and at the same time reverses the body or airbag; a sealing element (6) that makes the top edge (2') of the reversing pipe (2) pressure-tight once the die has finished moving; and a collecting device (3) in the area of the reversing pipe end in which the body or airbag is end shaped after being pushed out of the reversing pipe (2) by a compressed air blast blown through the die (4) so as to inflate and deploy the reversed airbag.
