FASTENING A GAS BAG IN AN AIRBAG MODULE BY MEANS OF A CLAMPING CONNECTION
The invention relates to a gas bag fixture in an airbag module by means of a clamping connection. The airbag module is disposed in an airbag receptacle along with a retaining ring for an injection orifice of the gas bag, the airbag receptacle surrounding both the airbag module and the retaining ring. The width of the outside of the retaining ring decreases in the main pulling direction occurring when the gas bag unfolds while the width of at least some sections of the airbag receptacle or a component that is associated therewith is smaller above the retaining ring than the largest width of the retaining ring. The lower end of the gas bag, which forms the injection orifice, is folded over the retaining ring and extends between the retaining ring and the airbag receptacle or the associated component. The cross-section of the outside of the retaining ring (3) is provided with at least one conically tapering section in the main pulling direction (Z) occurring when the gas bag unfolds. A section (7) of the interior wall of the airbag receptacle or the associated component, which runs at least approximately in the same direction as the main pulling direction (Z), is assigned to the conically tapering section.
