INFLATABLE AIRBAG FOR PROTECTING A PERSON, AIRBAG MODULE, VEHICLE OCCUPANT RESTRAINING SYSTEM COMPRISING SUCH AN AIRBAG, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN INFLATABLE AIRBAG

摘要

The invention relates to an inflatable airbag (1) for protecting a person (5), comprising a flexible shell (10) which comprises at least two finger-like extensions (11). The finger-like extensions (11) of the flexible shell (10) delimit a closed gas expansion area (12). The invention is characterized in that the finger-like extensions (11) are arranged relative to one another such that the airbag (1) assumes a three-dimensional shape in an inflated state, and the finger-like extensions (11) at least partly delimit an open area (13) in the inflated state. The shell (10) can be deformed in order to receive impact energy, thereby deforming the open area (13), in particular shrinking the open area.
