A device for holding an essentially cylindrical work piece (), in particular a jewelry ring, for machining with a laser beam (L) has at least one chuck () that is supported so that it is able to rotate around a rotation axis () and that is provided for centrally holding the work piece () by means of first clamping elements (), which automatically fix the work piece () in position through the exertion of a spring force.

Apparatus to secure a cylindrical object for laser processing

A vehicle seat has a seat frame having a pivot connection and a seat portion mounted on the seat frame. A backrest, having a head rest, is mounted on the seat frame such that the backrest is pivotable relative to the seat portion about the pivot connection. A lateral airbag system is mounted in the backrest and extends in a longitudinal direction of the backrest. The lateral airbag system has an elongate housing open at one side. The elongate housing has an elongate channel extending along a side of the backrest to an upper end of the head rest. The elongate housing is connected to the seat frame. The lateral airbag system has an airbag folded into the elongate channel such that a direction of folding is perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the elongate channel and such that the airbag is completely stretched out in the longitudinal direction. A cover covering the open side of the elongate housing is provided. The cover is adapted to open upon actuation of the airbag to release the airbag.

An air-bag comprises two super-imposed layers of fabric (2,3). A folding thread (10,11) is provided having one end thereof securely fastened to the fabric forming the bag in a region defined by a seam (4), each thread being connected loosely alternately to each of the layers of fabric. The thread (10,11) has a portion accessible from the exterior of the bag. If that portion of the thread is pulled, the region where the thread is securely fastened to the fabric of the bag is drawn towards the region where the thread is being pulled, thus folding that part of the bag between these two points with a concertina-fold.
