Abstract
A pre-assembled gas bag module comprises a generally cup-shaped carrier, a gas generator mounted on the carrier, an inflatable gas bag and a retaining plate for retaining the gas bag on the carrier. An edge of the gas bag is clamped between the carrier and the retaining plate. The carrier, retaining plate and gas bag have mutually aligned assembly openings for accommodation of the gas generator. The gas generator has a housing of a flangeless configuration and provided with mechanical interlock members for cooperation with corresponding interlock members provided on the carrier, to provide a bayonet-type or a snap mounting type connection of the gas generator to the carrier.
