ABSTRACT:
An inflatable vehicle occupant restraint (14) has a folded condition which causes the restraint (14) to move in a sideways direction when the restraint (14) is unfolded and inflated by inflation fluid entering the restraint (14) through an inlet opening (48). The folded condition of the restraint (14) has a cross-sectional configuration extending across the inlet opening (48). The cross-sectional configuration is defined by pleats (60) having closed outer ends (66) and open inner ends (68) for receiving inflation fluid from the inlet opening (48). All of the pleats (60) extend inward across the cross-sectional configuration from their closed outer ends (66) to their open inner ends (68) in a single, common sideways direction.
