Woven fabric for airbags having superior suppression of air permeability, high tear strength, and excellent reliability
First Claim
1. A woven fabric for an air bag composed of synthetic fibers, wherein asymmetry R, with respect to the front and back sides of the woven fabric and represented by the following equation, of the radius of curvature φ
- of an intersecting section where the warp thread and the weft thread come in contact in a cross-section of the woven fabric is within the range of 1.05 to 1.50;
R=φ
a/φ
b wherein φ
a represents the larger radius of curvature among the radii of curvature φ
on the front side and rear side of the woven fabric, and φ
b represents the smaller radius of curvature.

Abstract
A woven fabric for an air bag characterized by the asymmetry (R), in the front and back of the woven fabric and indicated by the following formula, of the radius of curvature (φof an intersecting section in which the warp thread and the weft thread come in contact in the cross section of the woven fabric, being in the range of 1.05-1,50, R=φa/φb (φa indicates the larger radius of curvature out of the radii of curvature (φ) in the front and back surfaces of the woven fabric, and φb indicates the smaller radius of curvature).
