Abstract
An assembly for manufacturing an airbag module for the passenger seat in a motor vehicle having a tubular element that accommodates a cylindrical reservoir of compressed gas and two identically shaped frontal components in the form of segments of extruded section that can be forced like hose clips against the tubular element such as to laterally demarcate space for accommodating a folded airbag against the tubular element. The upper area of the frontal components in one embodiment is openwork. Auxiliary tubes can be tensioned between the frontal components. A web of material that wraps around the tubular element can be secured to the auxiliary tubes, laterally demarcating the space for accommodating the airbag paralleling the axis of the tubular element.
