Abstract: A gas bag module has a gas bag whose wall, in a first state of the gas bag, has at least one pleat that is formed in that opposite sections of the wall lie against each other. The gas bag module further has a holder that holds the opposite sections together and affixes the pleat. The holder can be actively released in response to a signal, as a result of which the gas bag reaches a second state in which the pleat is opened.

Abstract: A fastening device, in particular for occupant restraint systems of motor vehicles includes a first connecting element which has tongues (24) able to be twisted in a plastic manner, each tongue (24) having a rotary lug (27), and a second connecting element which has cut-outs (29) through which the rotary lugs (27) of the tongues (24) can be passed. The second connecting element has positioning means (28) in a region of the cut-outs (29), which hold the rotary lugs (27) of the first connecting element in a twisted position after the twisting of the tongues (24).
