Abstract
The invention relates to a gas bag having at least one chamber. The gas bag comprises at least two fabric layers arranged opposite one another and delimiting the at least one chamber which can be filled with gas. The fabric layers each form a surface area and consist of threads which comprise warp and weft threads. The gas bag further comprises at least one spacer which is joined to the fabric layers and, in an inflated state of the gas bag, limits a distance between the fabric layers. The spacer is made up of some of the threads which, related to the inflated state of the gas bag, depart from the surface area formed by their associated fabric layer and extend towards the opposite fabric layer to be joined to threads of the opposite fabric layer.
