SIDE AIR BAG MODULE

摘要

The invention relates to a side air bag module with a gas bag for the head-thorax region of the passenger's body. The invention is characterized in that the section (2) of the gas bag (4) facing away from the passenger (5) is longer in the z direction of the motor vehicle than a section (1) facing the passenger. The invention is also characterized in that the longer section (2) is placed in at least one fold (3a) perpendicular to the z direction of the motor vehicle to obtain the same coverage functions as the shorter section (1), and both sections (1, 2) are connected to each other by their edges to form a gas bag (4). Preferably, the section facing the passenger and the section facing away from the passenger consist of at least one plate-like component (1, 2). The gas bag can also comprise components which extend to differing degrees when the gas bag is inflated, wherein at least one part of the gas bag facing the passenger extends to a lesser degree than the at least one part of the gas bag facing away from the passenger.
