Definitions
- the invention relates to an airbag folding according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a method and a device for carrying out the folding.
- the folding up to the required packing density which is necessary for stowing the gas bag in the steering wheel or on the dashboard, takes place in such a way that in a first step the folding takes place along the above-mentioned main folding lines and that this pre-folded gas bag then over at least partially the secondary fold lines crossing the main fold lines are folded or pressed, ie gathered, to the desired final shape.
- a device for achieving this folding and gathering according to the aforementioned method preferably has a pot-like, cylindrical part which can be inserted into the inflation opening of an airbag, the axial length of the cylindrical part approximately corresponding to the height of the airbag package folded after the first step . Furthermore, a hold-down device is provided which presses and holds the area of the gas bag opposite the inflation opening on the bottom of the cylindrical receiving part. Furthermore, on the opposite sides of the gas bag axially movable, shell-like elements are provided which are arranged concentrically to one another with different radii, the radii of the opposite elements being different in each case.
- radial gathering elements are provided which can be inserted into a packing device together with the folded gas bag.
- a generator carrier with a gas generator arranged therein can also be introduced into this.
- the packing device also has a device for pressing the folded gas bag into the generator carrier.
- the invention has for its object to provide a type of folding, a method and a device for rational folding, gathering and compression of an airbag.
- the airbag folding for an airbag module used in an airbag module is characterized according to the invention in that the airbag is folded in a ring shape in the direction of an imaginary longitudinal axis, with separate folds on the inside and on the outside of the ring.
- the imaginary longitudinal axis preferably runs through the blow-in mouth of the gas bag.
- the fold according to the invention represents a double fold, in which the gas bag is additionally folded directly next to the gas generator.
- This folding has the advantage that there is an undercut-free folding, which is important for the unfolding of the gas bag, and that only a few process steps are required, which can be carried out with a device that has few parts.
- the further advantage is that the folding has an unfolding characteristic that is advantageous for the vehicle occupant.
- only the inner or outer folds are initially stretched when unfolding, so that the gas bag does not suddenly open completely in the direction of the occupant, but rather the full opening occurs with a slight time delay. This is such that on the one hand the occupant is not injured when the gas bag is opened, but on the other hand the gas bag is opened in time to protect the occupant in the event of a crash.
- a method for folding the airbag is designed according to the invention in such a way that the empty airbag is stretched in the direction of an imaginary longitudinal axis and gathered together in the direction of the longitudinal axis within a boundary, preferably in a space with an annular cross section. Due to the stretching, the airbag is preformed in such a way that it broadly receives the circumference that it must have in the folded state in order to be stowed in a housing. By the subsequent gathering, which e.g. can take place by the action of pressure, the gas bag then receives the height dimension that is required for stowing the folded gas bag. An undercut-free folding is achieved with this method without additional folding elements, this folding being a chaotic folding, i.e. the wrinkles form arbitrarily.
- the spread-out gas bag is held in the region of its blow-in mouth and is drawn into a sleeve-shaped molded body, so that an inner stamp is simultaneously introduced into the gas bag and that the gas bag is then compressed by means of an outer stamp in the sleeve-shaped molded body.
- the first essential method step is a pulling process and the second essential method step is a pressing process.
- the spread out airbag is pressed into a sleeve-shaped shaped body by means of a stamp and is then pressed in the direction of one end of the sleeve. In this embodiment, two pushing operations are carried out. In contrast to the previous embodiment of the method, the airbag which is spread out does not require a holder in this embodiment.
- the gas bag which is spread out is preferably both drawn into the molded body and pressed together from bottom to top.
- the gas bag is picked up without a pre-assembled gas generator in the spread-out empty state on the blowing mouth. If the gas generator is already installed, the gas bag is picked up on the gas generator when the gas bag is open.
- the spread out airbag is held in the area of its blow-in mouth on an inner stamp, that a sleeve-shaped molded body is placed over the airbag hanging down on the side of the stamp and that the airbag is then by means of an outer stamp is pressed together in the sleeve-shaped molded body.
- a device for folding an airbag is characterized in that a molded body is provided, that at least one device that can insert the gas bag into the molded body and at least one device for compressing the gas bag is provided in the molded body.
- the shaped body is assigned a displaceable stamp with a smaller cross section than the inner cross section of the shaped body.
- a sleeve is preferably provided as the shaped body.
- a molded body that is open on one or two sides can also be used.
- a receptacle that can be inserted into the gas bag is provided above the vertically arranged sleeve, and two coaxial stamps that can be inserted into it are provided below the sleeve.

- This sleeve is also preferably arranged in the vertical direction, so that the openings are above and below. Then the two coaxial stamps are preferably arranged above the sleeve and the other stamp below the sleeve.
- the molded body is elastically deformable.
- the molded body is elastically deformable.
- an inner stationary stamp is provided, at one end of which the gas bag can be attached in the region of its blowing mouth.
- a sleeve-shaped molded body is provided which is movable over the inner stamp and the gas bag held thereon, and a suitable outer stamp which can be introduced into the space between the inner stamp and the molded body is provided.
- the shaped body can preferably be moved from above via the inner punch and the outer punch can be moved into the shaped body from below.
- a holding stamp is provided opposite the receiving end of the inner stamp for the gas bag, which is movable in the axial direction with respect to the inner stamp.
- FIG. 1 shows the basic structure of a device according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the sleeve-shaped molded body according to FIG. 1;
- Fig. 3a, b The recording of the spread gas bag without and with a pre-assembled gas generator

Above the sleeve 1, a collet 2 which can be inserted into the sleeve is provided as a receptacle for the gas bag 6 which is spread out, and a stop 3 in the region of the collet 2. Two coaxial punches 4, 5 which can be inserted into the sleeve are arranged below the sleeve.
- the outer contour of the outer stamp 4 corresponds to the inner contour of the sleeve 1, while the outer contour of the inner stamp corresponds to the outer contour of the blow-in mouth of the gas bag or of the gas generator to be connected to it.
