This invention relates to an air bag system for accommodation behind a vehicle covering. The air bag system contains an air bag, which advances in a main inflating direction when the air bag system is triggered, and a gas generator for supplying the air bag with pressure gas during triggering of the air bag system. The gas generator and the air bag are connected by a gas distributing duct which extends at least partially at an angle with respect to the main inflating direction of the air bag. In this case, the gas distributing duct is formed of air bag material. Furthermore, the invention relates to a manufacturing process and a triggering process for such an air bag system as well as to a motor vehicle having such an air bag system, of which at least the air bag is arranged on a sliding roof frame part.
Air bag system comprising:
The combination of an air bag and a gas generator, the air bag being an enclosed integral bag with a portion of the enclose integral bag formed into a loop, the interior of the loop being separated from the interior of the remaining portion of the integral bag by a series of spaced connections, with openings defined between successive connections to enable communication between the interior of the loop and the interior of the remaining portion of the integral bag, the remaining portion of the integral bag being in a folded condition, the gas generator being coupled to the loop such that when gas is generated by the gas generator, the gas flows axially through the loop to be distributed across the integral bag while passing radially out of the loop through the openings into the interior of the remaining portion of the integral bag causing the air bag to extend from its folded condition, and
