Abstract

A technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a non-coated fabric for airbags and a coated fabric for airbags that are both less likely to have yarn slippage after being sewn, and that can be compactly stored; and airbags using these fabrics. The fabric for airbags according to the present invention is a non-coated fabric for airbags or a coated fabric for airbags that both have a crimp ratio of 12% or more in the warp direction, and a crimp ratio of 61 or less in the weft direction.

Claims (21)

1. A non-coated fabric for airbags having a crimp ratio of 12% or more in the warp direction and a crimp ratio of 6% or less in the weft direction;

wherein the non-coated fabric is a base fabric of a side-curtain airbag, and the non-coated fabric has an edgecomb resistance of 1500 N or more in the warp yarn direction based on two layers of the non-coated fabric.

2. The non-coated fabric for airbags according to claim 1 , having a stiffness of 100 mm or less in the warp yarn direction as determined based on two layers of the non-coated fabric by a cantilever method.

3. The non-coated fabric for airbags according to claim 1 , having an edgecomb resistance of 1550 N or more in the warp yarn direction based on two layers of the non-coated fabric.

4. The non-coated fabric for airbags according to claim 1 , comprising a synthetic-fiber multifilament that has a total fineness of 400 dtex or more and 600 dtex or less,

the non-coated fabric for airbags having

a weaving density of 56 yarn threads/2.54 cm or more in both the warp direction and the weft direction, and

a cover factor of 2150 or more and 2600 or less.

5. An airbag comprising the non-coated fabric for airbags according to claim 1 .

6. A coated fabric for airbags having a crimp ratio of 12% or more in the warp direction and a crimp ratio of 6% or less in the weft direction;

wherein the coated fabric is a base fabric of a side-curtain airbag, and the coated fabric has an edgecomb resistance of 1600 N or more in the warp yarn direction based on two layers of the non-coated fabric.

7. The coated fabric for airbags according to claim 6 , having a stiffness of 90 mm or less in the warp yarn direction as determined based on two layers of the coated fabric by a cantilever method.

8. The coated fabric for airbags according to claim 6 , having an edgecomb resistance of 1650 N or more in the warp yarn direction based on two layers of the coated fabric.

9. The coated fabric for airbags according to claim 6 , comprising a synthetic-fiber multifilament that has a total fineness of 400 dtex or more and 600 dtex or less,

the coated fabric having

a weaving density of 56 yarn threads/2.54 cm or more in both the warp direction and the weft direction, and

a cover factor of 2150 or more and 2600 or less.

10. The coated fabric for airbags according to claim 6 , wherein the amount of a silicone resin applied is 5 g/m 2 or more and 25 g/m 2 or less.

11. An airbag comprising the coated fabric for airbags according to claim 6 .

12. A non-coated fabric for airbags having a crimp ratio of 12% or more in the warp direction and a crimp ratio of 6% or less in the weft direction;

wherein the non-coated fabric is a base fabric of a side-curtain airbag, and the non-coated fabric has a weaving density of 56 yarn threads/2.54 cm or more in both the weft direction and the warp direction.
