Abstract
An airbag for a vehicle has an attachment pocket with a through-opening, which extends through the layers of the attachment pocket, a first flat attachment means with a through-hole, wherein the first attachment means is arranged in the attachment pocket so that the through-hole is exposed on both sides of the attachment pocket through the opening, a second attachment means with a threaded area, a coupling area, and a head area, a spacing means, which is formed on the first attachment means and/or on the second attachment means, wherein the threaded area is designed to be connected to a corresponding vehicle-side threaded means.
Claims13
An airbag for a vehicle, comprising:
- an attachment pocket with a through-opening, which extends through the layers of the attachment pocket,
- a first flat attachment means with a through-hole, wherein the first attachment means is arranged in the attachment pocket so that the through-hole is exposed on both sides of the attachment pocket through the opening,
- a second attachment means with a threaded area, a coupling area, and a head area,
- a spacing means, which is formed on the first attachment means wherein the spacing means comprises a thickened area which is formed around the through-hole of the first attachment means and protrudes from the opening of the attachment pocket,
- wherein
- the threaded area is designed to be connected to a corresponding vehicle-side threaded means,
- the second attachment means can be introduced into the through-hole of the first attachment means, so that the coupling area is in contact with an inner surface of the through-hole,
- the head area has a larger diameter than the through-hole and comprises a drive profile, and
- the spacing means is configured in order to prevent a jamming of a portion of the attachment pocket by the first attachment means at the time of the attachment of the airbag to the vehicle.

- a second attachment means with a threaded area, a coupling area, and a head area,
- a spacing means, which is formed on the second attachment means wherein the spacing means comprises a spacing section which adjoins the coupling area of the second attachment means and is configured so as to prevent the distance between the head area and a vehicle frame from falling below a predetermined distance at the time of the screwing of the second attachment means to the vehicle-side threaded means,
- wherein
- the threaded area is designed to be connected to a corresponding vehicle-side threaded means,
- the second attachment means can be introduced into the through-hole of the first attachment means, so that the coupling area is in contact with an inner surface of the through-hole,
