Airbag deflation device, and vehicle seat

Abstract

An airbag venting device (10) for controlling an internal pressure of an airbag (12) of a vehicle occupant safety system (5) comprises a housing (24) which includes a first flow orifice (18) facing away from the airbag (12) and a second flow orifice (20) facing the airbag (12), wherein the housing (24) has an axial total length (26), the first flow orifice (18) has a first axial opening length (34) and the second flow orifice (20) has a second axial opening length (34). Moreover, the airbag venting device (10) includes an adjustable closure element (22) assigned to the housing (24) which, in a closing position, closes and, in an open position, releases at least one of the two flow orifices (18, 20), and an actuator device (30) provided at a front end (28) of the housing (24). The actuator device (30) interacts with the closure element (22) to release and/or to close the flow orifice (18, 20), and, in doing so, the axial total length (26) of the housing (24) is less than 3 times the length of the longer axial opening length (34) of the two flow orifices (18, 20).
