Abstract

The strain of increased airbag snap is alleviated in a throat and mouth construction of the type employing rod pockets in opposed sides of a rectangular airbag mouth. This is achieved by forming the throat material by folding and sewing so that the layers of throat material increase by steps from the single layer adjacent the bag to multiple layers forming the rod pockets.
