Abstract

It is provided a gas generator for a gas bag module of a vehicle occupant restraint system, comprising at least one chamber in which gas-generating material is arranged; a volume compensation arrangement which includes a first functional region for compensating at least a part of the volume of the chamber not occupied by the gas-generating material and a second functional region for exerting a restoring force on a component of the gas generator. The volume compensation arrangement comprises at least two compressible elements resting against each other, wherein at least one of the compressible elements in a first partial section that is associated with the first functional region of the volume compensation arrangement has another thickness than in a second partial section that is associated with the second functional region of the volume compensation arrangement.
