ABSTRACT:
An inflatable restraint cushion for use in transportation passive restraint systems is provided. The inflatable restraint cushion according to the invention is of a foldable construction having two panels. The first panel is of generally a pyramidal configuration while the second panel is of an elongated rectangular configuration joined to and extending from the apex of the first panel. The first panel is divided into right and left segments along a center fold line. The right and left segments each contain corresponding depressed sections. The right and left segments of the base are folded towards one another and are seamed together. The second panel is thereafter folded in loop fashion towards the first panel and a single seam is used to join the mating edges of the first and second panels. The presence of the depressed sections results in a cushion configuration having a depressed lower profile which is capable of engulfing the instrument panel of the vehicle.
