Abstract
An attachment device for securing a gas bag module to a vehicle part is provided. The gas bag module has a housing with at least one receiving opening in the housing. The attached device includes at least one nut which is received in the receiving opening. The nut is fixed to the housing so as to be non-rotatable but substantially linearly displaceable with respect to the housing so that a guide for the housing is formed. The gas bag module further includes at least one bolt screwed into the nut for attaching the gas bag module to the vehicle part. The bolt, in cooperation with the nut and the opening, serves for connecting the gas bag module to the vehicle part.
