Abstract
A gas bag module for a motor vehicle steering wheel includes a gas bag (), a gas generator () mounted so as to be capable of swinging, a generator carrier (), means () for bracing the gas bag () on the generator carrier (), and an elastically deformable, in relation to the central axis (A) of the gas bag module encircling sealing element (). The sealing element () is fastened by its free edges directly or indirectly to the gas generator () and to the generator carrier (), respectively. A section () of the sealing element (), which is free before a filling of the gas bag (), is deflected by the pressure occurring in the interior of the gas bag on filling of the gas bag (), so that it comes directly or indirectly in abutment with a support surface ().
