Gas bag module

摘要

A gas bag module for a vehicle occupant restraint system has a generally trough-shaped housing, a folded gas bag and an insert for insertion into the housing. The housing has a face wall with an opening. The gas bag module further comprises a tubular inflator. The tubular inflator is inserted into the housing through the opening in the face wall of the housing. The housing has an inner side with supporting faces for the insert. The insert has integral rim portions surrounded by an inflation opening in the gas bag. The insert is provided with an integral guide plate extending substantially parallel to inner surface areas of the housing and slightly spaced away therefrom. The insert comprises, opposite the opening in the face wall of the housing, a corresponding opening for passage of the inflator. The inflator protrudes outwardly from the opening in the face wall of the housing. The insert is clamped at the rim portions against the supporting faces of the housing.
