Abstract
An airbag venting device () comprises a housing () which includes a first flow orifice () facing away from the airbag () and a second flow orifice () facing the airbag (). The housing () has an axial total length (), the first flow orifice () has a first axial opening length () and the second flow orifice () has a second axial opening length (). An adjustable closure element () assigned to the housing (), in an open position, releases at least one of the two flow orifices (). An actuator device () interacts with the closure element () to release and/or to close the flow orifice (), and, in doing so, the axial total length () of the housing () is less than 3 times the length of the longer axial opening length () of the two flow orifices ().
