The present invention relates to an airbag module (100) for a vehicle. The airbag module comprises:
- a housing (102), forming a storage space for an airbag (108), the housing having an opening (110) arranged such that the airbag inflates through the opening if activated, the opening defining a circumferential path,
- a housing retaining member (104), attachable to the housing around at least part of the opening,
- a housing fixing member (106), fixable to a dashboard of the vehicle, and further being attachable to the housing retaining member (104). The housing fixing member (106) is arranged to surround the opening (110) when attached to the housing (102) by means of the housing retaining member (104), thereby forming an attachment between the housing fixing member (106) and the housing (102). The attachment between the housing fixing member (106) and the housing (102) is fixed in the main inflation direction of the airbag (108), such that forces in the direction occurring during airbag inflation are transferable from the housing (102) to the housing fixing member (106). The housing retaining member (104) allows relative movement between the housing (102) and the housing fixing member (106) along the circumferential path, such that substantially no sideways force and/or torsional moment is/are transferable during airbag inflation. |
