Abstract
An air bag for a motor vehicle has catch straps which are located on the inside and by means of which an upper bag surface directed towards a vehicle occupant and a lower-lying bag surface of the unfolded air bag having an opening for a gas generator are held against one another along the length of the catch straps. By one end, the catch straps integrally adjoin a flat connecting part via which they are fixed on the upper bag surface by means of at least one connecting seam which runs around said connecting part and lies nearest to the catch straps, the connecting seam being disposed perpendicular to the pulling direction of said catch strap in the region of each catch-strap connection at least over the greatest part of the connection width.
