Abstract
An apparatus for helping to protect an occupant of a vehicle includes an airbag configured to be mounted on a vehicle structure and to be inflatable between the vehicle structure and the vehicle occupant. The airbag includes a single sheet of airbag material configured to have a plurality of leaves that extend radially from a point on the panel, wherein each leaf comprises a tip and edges that extend on opposite sides of the tip from the tip to a root where adjacent leaves meet each other. Connections interconnect adjacent edges of adjacent leaves on opposite sides of the root between the adjacent leaves. The connections extend from the root to the tip to form a closed inflatable volume from the single sheet of airbag material.
