Abstract: An air bag is disclosed, which is formed from two interconnected elements 3,4 of fabric. Each element can take the form of a regular rectilinear polygon, with square or triangular elements of fabric being preferred. The two elements of fabric are arranged so that the warp and weft yarns of one element 3 of fabric are angularly offset from the warp and weft yarns of the other element 4 of fabric. A preferred embodiment comprises two substantially identical polygonal elements of fabric where the corner regions 5-8 of one said element are interdigitated with the corner regions 9-12 of the other element, and the adjacent peripheral parts of the interdigitated corner regions are interconnected by means of a seam (see figure 3). The construction of the air bag is intended to make more efficient use of the fabric, and also the offset between the yarns of the two elements is intended to provide a desirable inflation characteristic.

Said central element and the first element on the side of the connection thereof to a spindel are provided for each with its own contact segmental section, thereby forming a pair of contact segmental sections arranged therebetween. Said sections are disposed on the opposite sides with respect to the meridian plane of the spindle in the bending plane of the drill string and at a distance L between the nearest edges of the contact segmental sections along the central axis of the first element at L¥D. The contact segmental section of the first element is deviated from the meridian plane of the spindel in the bending plane of the drilling string in an opposite direction with respect to the reaction torque of a drilling bit. Said invention improves stability, increases the deviation angle of a gerotor type motor provided with a spindle and drilling bit and the drilling accuracy of a bottom hole heterogeneity.
