Embodiment Construction

[0025]The basic components of the side airbag module according to an embodiment of the invention that will be described below are the container 11, the cushion 13 and the generator 15.

[0026]The prismatic container 11 acts as a housing for the cushion 13 and the generator 15 and has a one-piece configuration. The cushion 13, with the generator 15 coupled thereto, is folded inside the container 11.

[0027]The side airbag module is located in the automotive vehicle such that it can be deployed between the vehicle body 17 and the occupant (not shown) and for that purpose the container is fixed to the vehicle by means of suitable means 19.

[0028]The container 11 is formed by means of folding operations starting from a flat laminar part where its sides are defined with pre-cut lines. According to FIG. 2, it can be seen that the polygonal-shaped large sides 31, 33, the rectangular back side 35 and three flaps 37, 37′, 37″ corresponding to the sides forming the closing surface of the container ar

Abstract

The invention relates to an airbag module for automotive vehicles, comprising a gas generator (15) and an inflatable cushion (13) which are housed in a container (11) which is prismatic in shape and formed by folding a flat sheet of suitable material in which its large sides (31, 33), its back side (35) and, as extensions of the sides of said large sides (31), flaps (37, 37′, 37″) corresponding to the sides of the closing surface of the container (11), are defined by means of pre-cut lines, said flaps (37, 37′, 37″) and the large side (33) they are separated from including cooperating means (41, 43, 45) defined by means of pre-cut lines, which allow closing the container (11). The container (11) additionally includes means (51, 53) defined by means of pre-cut lines intended for aiding in positioning and fixing the airbag module in the vehicle.
