Gas bag module for a motor vehicle steering wheel

A gas bag module for a motor vehicle steering wheel, the gas bag module comprising a gas bag, a gas generator mounted so as to be capable of swinging, a generator carrier, means for bracing the gas bag on the generator carrier, and an elastically deformable, in relation to a central axis of the gas bag module encircling seating element, the sealing element being fastened by free edge portions of the sealing element directly or indirectly to the gas generator and to the generator carrier, respectively, a middle section of the sealing element, which is free before a filling of the gas bag, being deflected by the pressure occurring in an interior of the gas bag on filling of the gas bag, so that the middle section comes directly or indirectly in abutment with a support surface, wherein the support surface is formed on an intermediate element arranged on the gas generator.

A gas bag module for a motor vehicle steering wheel, the gas bag module comprising a gas bag, a gas generator mounted so as to be capable of swinging in order to amortize vibrations, a generator carrier and means for bracing the gas bag on the generator carrier, the gas generator being deflected by the pressure occurring in an interior of the gas bag on filling of the gas bag, so that the gas generator is pressed against a support surface formed on the generator carrier, a sealing element being provided between the gas generator and the support surface, the sealing element sealing the interior of the gas bag from a space between the gas generator and the generator carrier on filling of the gas bag.
