Abstract
An air bag module includes a gas bag with an inlet opening, an inflator having a pyrotechnic propellant and a flame protection. To provide an effective flame protection which is simply and cost-efficiently achievable and applicable to the various methods of folding the gas bag, the flame protection consists of a pot-shaped textile part of a heat-proof material, the bottom of which comprises a central recess corresponding to the inlet opening of the gas bag, and the rim of the central recess surrounds the inlet opening.
