ABSTRACT:
Discharge valve for an airbag including a fixed member adapted to be arranged in connection with or associated with the airbag and having a pattern of openings and a movable member having a pattern of openings substantially identical to the pattern of openings of the fixed member. The movable member is movable relative to and alongside the fixed member to vary the correspondence between the openings on the movable member and the openings in the fixed member to thereby vary valve openings defined by the fixed member and the movable member. Variation in the valve openings results in control and/or regulation of the outflow of gas from the airbag through the discharge valve. The members may be plates, cylinders or cones.
