Abstract: A method for constructing a lamp for radiating a warning signal within a desired polar angular range around a mean polar direction includes the steps of fixing a base body at a mounting location, arranging each of an annular support element having an annular reflector, an inner and an outer annular optical system concentrically around a lamp axis to form an optical arrangement and arranging a plurality of lighting elements on the annular support element in an annular distribution around the lamp axis. The annular reflector, inner annular optical system and outer annular optical system and portions thereof are shaped to reflect and/or direct light radiated by the plurality of lighting elements in such a manner that light emerges from the outer annular optical system in a direction within the desired polar angular range around the mean polar direction.

Abstract: A lamp comprises a base body (1), an annular support element (10) and an inner and outer drum optical system (16, 2). Lighting means (15) are arranged on the support element (10) in annular distribution. It comprises a drum reflector (17, 18). Each lighting means (15) radiates light radially outwardly with respect to the lamp axis (14) in a three-dimensional angular range which relative to the lamp axis (14) covers a polar angle (?) substantially greater than a desired polar angular range (?) in which the warning signal is to be rotated about a mean polar direction (?). The light radiated by the lighting means (15) either passes through the drum optical systems (16, 2) without prior incidence on the drum reflector (17, 18) or is reflected radially outwardly beforehand by the drum reflector (17, 18).

Abstract: The invention relates to a gas bag module for a vehicle occupant restraint system, in particular a side gas bag module extending along a roof frame of the vehicle. The gas bag module comprises a gas bag and a housing with two separate side pieces which define an ejection channel for the gas bag. One of the side pieces is to be located close to the frame and the other of the side pieces is to be located close to an interior of the vehicle. The side pieces each have upper and lower ends constituting marginal sections. The side piece close to the interior is constructed to be so elastic and to have such a shape adapted to a shape of the side piece close to the frame, that the side piece close to the interior only rests against an outside of side piece close to the frame and embraces the latter in the manner of a clip.
