ABSTRACT:
A vehicle safety airbag is folded to an annular compact accordion-like configuration for placement around a conventional bag inflator. The bag folding operation involves axially stretching the bag, restraining localized areas of the stretched bag against radial expansion, and axially compressing the bag while moving the restraining devices together, such that annular accordion-like folds are formed in the bag.
