In an airbag module () for a vehicle steering wheel comprising an inflator () and a device () for vibration damping on which the inflator () is mounted to be oscillating as vibration damper mass the device () for vibration damping is configured at least to damp a first device-specific frequency and a second device-specific frequency, wherein different excitation directions are associated with the first and second device-specific frequencies.

Airbag module for a vehicle steering wheel

A gas bag module for a vehicle occupant restraint system includes a housing and a gas bag () accommodated in the housing. The gas bag has a gas bag wall (). The gas bag module further includes a discharge arrangement () having an energetic element () for the selective provision of a discharge opening. The energetic element () is able to be activated by a control unit (). The discharge opening is provided by material conversion of the energetic element ().

Gas bag module for a vehicle occupant restraint system

The invention relates to a gas bag for use in a vehicle occupant restraint system, having at least one wall or a wall part made of a fabric which is formed from fibres, and which is characterized in that the fibres comprise a polymer matrix with exfoliated layered silicate particles dispersed therein, the exfoliated layered silicate particles having a thickness of 0.5 to 2 nm and a surface diameter of up to 10 &#x3bc;m.

Gas bag

A gas bag module includes a gas bag, a gas generator, a first and a second fastening element, a section of the gas bag being fastened between the first and the second fastening elements, and a discharge opening for diverting gas generated by the gas generator and introduced into the gas bag. The discharge opening can be brought from a closed state into an opened state and comprises at least one opening in the first and in the second fastening elements. A section of the gas bag extends over the discharge opening in the closed state and the gas bag is exposed towards an interior of the gas bag in a region of the discharge opening. Means are provided which partially destroy the gas bag in the region of the discharge opening, in order to uncover the discharge opening.
