Abstract
The invention relates to a gas bag module comprising a gas bag, an outer contour of the gas bag being defined by a gas bag wall which has a front wall for the impact of an occupant with a centric opening as a transition to an indentation in the gas bag. The indentation is formed in that during inflation a center portion of the gas bag wall is prevented from freely moving and is restrained. A closure part is provided which encloses one of the indentation and the opening and engages the gas bag wall. A traction device is provided which is connected with the closure part. The traction device is attached such that due to a deployment of the gas bag a tensile force is exerted on the traction device and the tensile force is passed on to the closure part, and one of the indentation and the opening is at least partly closed.
