ABSTRACT:
A method and system for folding an air bag for a supplemental inflatable restraint system for use in a vehicle wherein the air bag includes a front face, a rear face, upper and lower edges, an inflation opening located on the front face, and an upper portion defined between the upper edge and the inflation opening and a lower portion defined between the lower edge and the inflation opening. The air bag is initially placed in a flattened position and the lower portion is provided with a series of unidirectional folds to define a rolled portion of the air bag. Subsequently, the upper portion is folded over the rolled portion. During deployment, the upper portion is initially deployed and the lower portion subsequently unrolls generally downwardly and across the lap of an occupant in the vehicle.
