ABSTRACT:
An expansible occupant restraint cushion is provided. The restraint cushion includes a first section of material having a plurality of perimeter edges and "Z" profile lap structures disposed along selected perimeter edges. Each "Z" profile lap structure includes a first fold formed along a fold line in opposed relation to a perimeter edge and a second fold reverse in direction to the first fold formed along a fold line intermediate the fold line of the first fold and the opposing perimeter edge to yield an outboard attachment margin. The restraint cushion further includes a second section of material in opposed mating relation to the folded first section of material. This second section of material is adjoined to the first folded section of material at the outboard attachment margins of the "Z" profile lap structures. A related method for forming the cushion of the present invention is also provided.
