Claims
- 1. An air bag made of a coated fabric which is prepared by coating a coating material comprising silicone rubber to a substrate fabric made of synthetic fibers by 20 g/m2 or less based on a solid content and has a bending hysteresis as measured according to KES-FB-2 of 0.55 gf•cm/cm or more as an average value of bendings in two directions perpendicular to each other within a plane of the coated fabric.
- 2. An air bag made of a coated fabric which is prepared by coating a coating material comprising silicone rubber to a substrate woven fabric made of synthetic fibers by 20 g/m2 or less based on a solid content and has a bending hysteresis as measured according to KES-FB-2 of 0.55 gf•cm/cm or more as an average value of bendings in the direction of wefts and in the direction of warps of the woven fabric.
- 3. An air bag as defined in claim 1 or 2, wherein the coating material is coated only one surface of the substrate fabric.
- 4. An air bag made of a coated fabric which is prepared by coating a coating material comprising silicone rubber on one surface of a substrate fabric made of synthetic fibers by 20 g/m2 or less based on a solid content, wherein a thickness of the coated fabric is not more than 1.04 times a thickness of the substrate fabric.
- 5. An air bag as defined in claim 1 or 4, wherein the substrate fabric is a woven fabric having a cover factor of from 1700 to 2100.
- 6. An air bag as defined in claim 1 or 4, wherein the substrate fabric comprises a woven fabric made of polyamide 66 with a fineness of 420 denier and having a number of counts of from 42 to 48 per inch each for wefts and warps.
- 7. An air bag as defined in claim 1 or 4, wherein the substrate fabric comprises a woven fabric made of polyamide 66 with a fineness of 315 denier and having a number of counts of from 51 to 56 per inch each for wefts' and warps.
- 8. An air bag as defined in claim 1 or 4, wherein the substrate fabric comprises a woven fabric made of polyamide 66 with a fineness of 210 denier and having a number of counts of from 65 to 72 per inch each for wefts and warps.
- 9. An air bag as defined in claim 1 or 4, wherein the substrate fabric comprises a woven fabric made of polyamide 66 with a fineness of 120 denier and having a number of counts of from 84 to 94 per inch each for wefts and warps.
