Abstract
A gas bag module for a vehicle occupant restraint system comprises a module housing, a gas bag having a folded region, a gas generator, an unfolding opening via which the gas bag emerges in the case of restraint, a covering for the unfolding opening, and a flexible traction transfer device to expose the unfolding opening. The traction transfer device is connected with the covering. Further, the module comprises an intermediate wall provided between the folded region of the gas bag and the gas generator and connected with the traction transfer device. The intermediate wall is shifted by gas generated on activation of the gas generator in such a manner that the traction transfer device draws the covering away from the unfolding opening.
