ARRANGEMENT OF AN AIRBAG MODULE

摘要

The invention describes a configuration for an airbag module behind the instrument panel of a motor vehicle. For this, a charge channel for the airb ag is mounted on the back side of the instrument panel, while the airbag module is held by a support tube of the vehicle body. In this way, the charge channel loose ly encompasses the airbag deployment opening of the airbag module. A catch on t he charge channel acts in conjunction with a hook component fastened to the support tube in such a way that the bending of the instrument panel in the direction of the passenger compartment is limited when the airbag is deployed. In this manner , an orderly unfolding of the airbag occurs. Additionally, the separate configuration of the charge channel and the airbag module is not susceptible to component tolerances.
