An airbag unit for a motor vehicle safety device includes an inflatable airbag and a cover. The inflatable airbag is formed of flexible material and provided in a rolled and/or folded package. The cover extends around at least part of the package. The cover includes a first cover portion and a second cover portion. The first cover portion is located on a first side of the package, and at least a region of the second cover portion being located on an opposite second side of the package. The second cover portion is substantially flexible and is connected to or formed integrally with the first cover portion, and the first cover portion has a predetermined stable shape and is relatively rigid in comparison to the second cover portion.

Airbag unit for a motor vehicle safety device

In at least one embodiment of the present invention, an airbag unit is provided. The airbag unit comprises an airbag made of fabric. The unit has fastening devices for attaching the airbag to a motor vehicle. A cover section is proximate to the fastening devices and is fastened to the airbag. The cover section is configured to not completely cover the airbag when the airbag is in an unrolled state and forms a wrapping of the airbag when the airbag is rolled-up with the cover section to define rolled-up state.

Airbag unit

An airbag having an airbag fabric skin () enclosing an interior gas space with a first edge () extending from a first end () to a second end (), whereby an accommodation area (A) for a gas generator () is located at the first edge outside the gas spaced extending parallel the first edge (), which exhibits an area () of a deflector element) which accommodates the gas generator. In order to ensure that the airbag unit consisting of gas generator and airbag halves in a thrust-neutral manner in case of a fire, deflector element () consists of a tubular, flexible element, whereby the deflector element () exhibits an upper and lower area () whose lower area () is located inside the gas space (G). The deflector element is connected with the airbag skin in an intermediate area () which is located between upper and lower areas.
