Abstract
A housing ( ) is provided for a folded together inflatable airbag and a holder element ( ) which can be locked at the housing, with the housing and the holder element bounding a reception region for a gas generator ( ) in the locked state. In addition to an airbag and a gas generator, with the housing and the holder element, only two components are required in accordance with the invention, through which the manufacture may be simplified and manufacturing cost reductions may occur. For the assembly of the airbag module, the gas generator ( ) is first arranged either at the housing ( ) or at the holder element ( ) and then the holder element is locked at the housing. The gas generator ( ) is then already located in its final position in the airbag module. Through this the subsequent attachment of the folded together airbag in the housing is simplified since more than two parts which are to be connected together need never be brought into the correct relative position.
