Title: Toshio Owari: Air-Bag Fabric Inventor
Introduction
Toshio Owari is an inventor based in Tsuruga, Japan, whose patent work focuses on woven fabrics for automotive air bags. His inventions address fabric construction and performance under pressure, with the aim of supporting reliable air-bag deployment and cushioning. Owari is associated with Toyobo Co., Ltd. His listed portfolio includes 2 patents.
Latest Patents
Owari’s listed patents concern non-coated woven fabrics designed for air-bag applications.
“Non-coated woven fabric for air bag” describes a fabric made from synthetic fiber containing at least 90% Nylon 66 by weight. The invention specifies ranges for warp and weft crimping, the Nylon 66 fiber’s relative viscosity, and its phosphorus content. It also sets a target range for biaxial elongation strain hysteresis during dynamic air-permeability testing, measured under specified pressure and environmental conditions.
“Base fabric for air bag which hardly causes ‘bottoming’ upon collision” concerns a non-coated base fabric intended to reduce bottoming during impact. The patent describes ranges for the fabric’s maximum internal pressure and biaxial strain rate during dynamic air-permeability measurement. Preferred features include Nylon 66 yarn, a controlled amount and type of residual oil component, and a specified phosphorus content.
Career Highlights
Owari’s patent work reflects a focus on the engineering properties of air-bag fabrics, including fiber composition, weave characteristics, strain behavior, and dynamic air permeability. These factors are relevant to how a fabric responds as an air bag inflates and absorbs impact.
Collaborations
Owari’s listed coworkers include Yoshihiro Matsui and Hirokazu Nishimura. His work is associated with Toyobo Co., Ltd., a company connected to the development of textile materials.
Conclusion
Toshio Owari’s two listed patents address technical approaches to improving non-coated air-bag fabrics, particularly their pressure response and behavior during impact.
