The invention relates to an airbag for a vehicle occupant restraint system, comprising an airbag panel () defining an inflatable airbag volume as well as including a front panel portion () and a rear panel portion (), a tether () extending in the interior of the airbag () across the inflatable airbag volume, a discharge orifice () which is formed in the rear panel portion () of the airbag panel (), as well as a first closing tab () and a second closing tab () for closing the discharge orifice (), wherein the tether () extends from a first tether end () tightly connected to the front panel portion () in the direction of the discharge orifice () to an opposite second tether end (), wherein the first closing tab () extends from a first tab end () tightly connected to the rear panel portion () to a second tab end () tightly connected to the second tether end (), wherein the second closing tab () is fastened on the rear panel portion () adjacent to the discharge orifice (), and wherein the two closing tabs () are coupled by a connection releasable when a vehicle occupant () impacts on the inflated airbag ().

Airbag for vehicle occupant restraint system

A method of folding a driver airbag that has a front airbag layer connected at least in portions to a rear airbag layer includes flatly spreading the airbag onto a support surface so that the front airbag layer comes to rest on the rear airbag layer. Each of an upper airbag portion and a lower airbag portion are zigzag folded multiple times in the direction of a transverse axis of the airbag. Each of a left-hand lateral airbag portion and a right-hand lateral airbag portion are furled in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the airbag.

Method of folding an airbag, airbag, airbag module and vehicle safety system

A method of folding an airbag for a driver airbag module having a front airbag layer connected at least in portions to a rear airbag layer includes flatly spreading the airbag onto a support surface so that the front airbag layer comes to rest on the rear airbag layer. Each of a left-hand lateral airbag portion and a right-hand lateral airbag portion is zigzag folded multiple times in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the airbag. Each of an upper airbag portion and a lower airbag portion is furled in the direction of a transverse axis of the airbag.

The invention relates to a method of folding an airbag (), especially a driver airbag module, comprising a front airbag layer () which is connected at feast in portions to a rear airbag layer (), the method comprising the following steps of:

The invention relates to an assembly for esthetically designing an airbag cover () comprising an annular decoration element () for arrangement on a front side () of a front wall () of the airbag cover (), the decoration element () including at least one securing pin () adapted to penetrate the front wall (). The invention excels by a retaining plate () for being attached to a back side () of the front wall (), wherein the retaining plate () has at least one clip connector () adapted to be engaged with the securing pin () such that the decoration element () and the retaining plate () are permanently connected to each other. Furthermore the invention relates to an airbag cover, an airbag module, a vehicle steering wheel and a manufacturing method.
