An airbag having an airbag fabric skin () enclosing an interior gas space with a first edge () extending from a first end () to a second end (), whereby an accommodation area (A) for a gas generator () is located at the first edge outside the gas spaced extending parallel the first edge (), which exhibits an area () of a deflector element) which accommodates the gas generator. In order to ensure that the airbag unit consisting of gas generator and airbag halves in a thrust-neutral manner in case of a fire, deflector element () consists of a tubular, flexible element, whereby the deflector element () exhibits an upper and lower area () whose lower area () is located inside the gas space (G). The deflector element is connected with the airbag skin in an intermediate area () which is located between upper and lower areas.

Airbag

The present invention relates to an airbag and a process for manufacturing an airbag. The airbag includes a distribution element for the gas of a gas generator, to which at least one multi-layer chamber is fluidly connected through outflow openings of the distribution element. The distribution element includes an acceptance device for the gas generator and is cut out of an airbag material and is sewn to form a hollow body At least two connecting seams are provided to connect the layers of the chambers separately with one layer each of the distribution element.
