Abstract
A gas bag module for a vehicle occupant restraint system, comprising a gas bag (12) and an elongated gas generator (14), which projects by a section (18) into the gas bag (12), includes a mounting (16) for the gas generator (14), extending along a substantial portion of the axial length of the gas generator (14). A part (26) of the mounting (16) projects into the gas bag (12) and at least partly surrounds the section (18) of the gas generator (14) projecting into the gas bag (12). A part of the mounting (16) extending outside the gas bag (12) has fastening elements (30) for fastening to a vehicle part.

A gas bag module for a vehicle occupant restraint system, comprising a gas bag (12) and an elongated gas generator (14) which projects by a section (18) into the gas bag (12), characterized in that a mounting (16) extending along a substantial portion of the axial length of the gas generator (14) is provided for the gas generator (14), a part (26) of the mounting (16) projecting into the gas bag (12) and at least partly surrounding the section (18) of the gas generator (14) projecting into the gas bag (12), and a part of the mounting (16) extending outside the gas bag (12) having fastening elements (30) for fastening to a vehicle part.
The gas bag module according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the gas generator (14) is constructed so as to be neutral with respect to thrust.
The gas bag module according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that part of the outflow openings (15) of the gas generator (14) are closed off by the part (26) of the mounting (16) projecting into the gas bag (12).
The gas bag module according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the gas bag is a side gas bag covering side windows of a vehicle, and the gas generator (14) is arranged approximately in the middle of the gas bag (12) as related to a main direction of extent (R) of the gas bag (12).
The gas bag module according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the gas bag (12) has an opening through which the section (18) of the gas generator (14) projects into the gas bag (12) and that the rim (22) of the opening is fastened with a clip (24) to the mounting (16) and to the gas generator (14).
The gas bag module according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the gas bag (12) is provided with a protective layer (32) which keeps a hot gas stream (G) from direct contact with walls of the gas bag (12).
The gas bag module according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the gas bag (12) is a side gas bag which extends substantially from an A-column to a C-column of a vehicle.
