An airbag device with an airbag module (1) for attachment to a structural part of a motor vehicle with a housing (2), an airbag (3) arranged therein, a gas generator (4), as well as a support (5) via which the airbag module (1) can be attached to a motor vehicle component, wherein a fastener (41) is positioned on a gas generator (4) via which the gas generator (4) can be attached to the housing (2) and/or the support (5). On the support (5) and/or on the housing (2) at least one spacer (21, 51) is provided between the housing (2) and the support (5), between the housing (2) and the gas generator (4), and/or between the support (5) and the gas generator (3), in the form of cavities in which a discharge channel (22, 52) is constructed in the plane of the intermediate area formed by the spacers (21, 51).
An airbag device comprising an airbag module for attachment to a structural part of a motor vehicle having a housing, an airbag arranged within the housing, a gas generator, a support outside the housing for attaching the airbag module to the structural part, wherein a flange is positioned on the gas generator via which the gas generator is attached to the housing or the support, wherein the support or the housing forms at least one spacer for creating a cavity in at least one of three locations, the three locations being between the housing and the support, between the housing and the flange, and between the support and the flange, the cavity forming a permanently unobstructed discharge channel for a flow of deployment gas produced by the gas generator.
