Abstract
A vehicle air bag includes a length of fabric. The length of fabric is folded at predetermined locations to form a central portion and two end portions. When folded, the end portions partially overlap the central portion. One end portion partially overlaps the other end portion. The edges of the end portions are aligned with the edges of the central portions. The partially overlapping end portions and aligned edges of the central and end portions are joined together to form an inflatable air bag adapted to form a predetermined configuration inflated with gas.
