Patent MX-PA06011535-A (MX)
Title: Method and device for producing coated fabric parts.
Inventor: GOTTSCHALK MARKUS
IPC: B60R21/00
Filed: 2005-03-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for producing individual pieces of the airbag of an airbag system, consisting of a fabric that is coated with silicon. According to said method, the contours of the individual pieces to be produced are successively cut in a cutting station from a fabric web. Said individual pieces are selectively coated in a coating station (8), in a step of a screen printing method and the coated individual pieces are then subjected to a thermal treatment in a heating station in order to be cross-linked. The advantage of said method in comparison to prior art is that there is less wastage of the relatively expensive silicon and that the waste products are more uniform and easier to treat in waste disposal terms, as they consist only of uncoated fabric.
