Airbagsystem für Kraftfahrzeuge

摘要

The invention relates to an automobile airbag system with at least one gas bag and at least one gas generator allocated thereto. The airbag system can be moved, at least partially, away from the occupant. According to the invention, said section of the airbag system (2) which can be moved away from the occupant is secured to at least one deformation element (8, 9) or movable element (32, 33, 40), which can be influenced by means allocated to the deformation element or movable element during substantial deceleration of said automobile and ignition of the gas generator (4) in such a way that said element can be deformed or moved away by the gases emitted from the gas generator (4), requiring a smaller amount of force than during reduced deceleration of said automobile and non-ignition of the gas generator (4) caused by the impact of the occupant of the vehicle (26). The invention provides for greater protection of the occupant in the case of a crash or during reduced deceleration when the gas generator is not ignited.
