The method involves pushing a portion of an airbag (12) into the compartment of an apparatus (10) while the portion is pretensioned by the weight of the other portion of the airbag in front of an associated slider. An Independent claim is also included for an apparatus for folding an airbag.

The holder, knife blade and the suctioning chambers (17,18) form a single adjustable unit adjustable relative to the cylinder (4). The position of the adjustable unit is set through two adjustment screws (22a,22b) which are located outside of the ends of the cylinder in a longitudinal direction of the cylinder near the separation edge of the knife blade.

A method and apparatus for controlling the orienting of the ends of a finite length segment of tube following a bend thereof through a predefined angle. At least one straight finite length segment of tube is supplied to the tube bender for bending the tube about a bend axis. The two ends of the tube, following the bend, are measured to determine the distance between the end face of each leg to the...
