Abstract
An improved airbag assembly () has an inflator (), an airbag () and a diffuser (). The diffuser () is formed from two folded inner and outer pocket panel layers of fabric and sewn to the airbag (). The folded inner pocket layer () is configured to fit inside the outer pocket layer () forming a two-layer structure. The fold () in the inner layer () is oriented in a first direction relative to the weave of the fabric and the fold of the outer layer () is oriented at a second direction relative to the weave of the fabric wherein the second direction is different from the first direction. The first direction and second direction of folds () are inclined relative to the other so upon assembly the inner pocket layer () fabric weave is directionally inclined on a bias relative to the outer pocket layer () fabric weave.
