[0089] Figure 1A is the first embodiment of the invention with a zipper closure, figure 2 It is the zipper 100 of the first embodiment on the position of the vehicle seat 20 .

[0090] The zipper 100 comprises two longitudinal strips 102 , the inner longitudinal edges 101 of which are fitted with several engaging members 104 .

[0091] As is well known to those skilled in the art, the joining members 104 close the zipper and join the longitudinal straps 102 together by interlocking. The engagement member 104 is engaged within the first region 106 and the second region 107 when the zipper is closed. No joining member 104 is provided between the first and second regions, but a slit 110 is provided between the first and second regions. The slit 110 is located in the center of the zipper. In the center of the split there is a linker 115 where it links the two longitudinal straps together to prevent separation of the joining members. The ends 109 of the zipper 100 are fixed t...

Abstract

A fastener for an airbag cover, the fastener comprising first and second stringer tapes which are fixed to edges of an opening in the airbag cover. The stringer tapes each have a row of coupling elements mounted thereon, and these link together to connect the stringer tapes. The connection is strong within an area of coupling elements which have been connected, but is easily disengaged from the ends of a region of connected coupling elements. The fastener comprises holding means which hold the tapes together at a predetermined position in the middle region of the fastener. The holding means will release or displace under the force of the airbag expanding. When the airbag expands, e.g. during a car crash, the holding means allows the coupling elements to open, thus opening the fastener and allowing the airbag to expand outside the airbag cover.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a zipper, in particular to a zipper for closing an air bag cover. Background technique [0002] Cars often have air bags that act as safety devices in the event of a crash. The air bag is located at the front of the car, for example, in the middle part of the steering wheel. In the event of a collision, the airbags inflate as soon as the sensors detect the collision. This relieves the occupant from rushing forward from the seat. [0003] Side airbags, which inflate in the space between the seat and the door, cushion occupants from the impact of the side of the car, are becoming more common in cars, as are frontal airbags. The usual installation location for side air bags is the back of the car seat. In a crash, the air bag inflates and squeezes through an opening, such as a cutout, in the side of the seat. Open air bags inflate along the side of the car to protect the driver from collis...
