Abstract
An airbag arrangement comprising: an airbag; a housing ( ), formed of plastics material, for containing the airbag in a deflated, folded condition; a cover ( ), formed of flexible material, and attached to the airbag housing ( ) by a seal around a substantial portion of the periphery of the housing ( ). The seal may be by heat or pressure sensitive glue, by ultrasonic or vibration welding or by deformable lugs ( ). This arrangement is cheaper to produce and quicker to assemble, and has the advantage of being generally tamper-proof, since any tampering with the package will be immediately evident from detachment of the cover or tears therein.
