Abstract
A gas bag restraint module is disclosed. According to a first embodiment, the gas bag restraint module comprises a housing having a generally cylindrical accommodation part and two axially extending attachment strips running outwards from the accommodation part. The gas bag restraint module further comprises a bottle-shaped pressurized gas container axially inserted into the accommodation part. The pressurized gas container provides a volume of pressurized gas after activation. Still further, the gas bag restraint module comprises a folded gas bag adapted to be inflated by pressurized gas provided by the pressurized gas container. The gas bag comprises an inflation opening surrounded by an attachment section. The attachment section is provided with an attachment frame comprising at least one through opening which is in fluid communication with the inflation opening. The attachment frame is accommodated between the attachment strips and is fixed at the accommodation part. A second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the housing comprises a generally trough-shaped accommodation part, and in that the pressurized gas container is inserted into the accommodation part.
