Abstract: A detent connection piece (10) includes a clip hook (18) which can be pressed into a first bore (24) while being deformed until the detent connection piece snaps in and engages behind a bearing edge framing the first bore (24). The detent connection piece (10) additionally includes an end section which is adapted to be inserted into a second bore (26). Further proposed is a gas bag module including at least one such detent connection piece (10).

Abstract: The invention relates to a gas bag (3) for an occupant restraint arrangement in vehicles, having a first and a second fabric layer (5, 6) which lie opposite each other and are permanently connected with each other in at least one fabric section (7, 21, 23, 25, 27, 37, 39) by interweaving in one piece, and having sacrificial threads (43) which are arranged close to the fabric section (7, 21, 23, 25, 27, 37, 39) and which tear in the case of restraint, characterized in that the sacrificial threads (43) are respectively formed by a thread (29, 30) which emerges from the first fabric layer (5) and enters into the second fabric layer (6) with the formation of a freely floating thread section (47) between the fabric layers (5, 6).

Abstract: A gas bag module comprises a gas generator and a rigid housing in which the gas generator is arranged. The housing has at least two gas outflow channels with one port each, the ports adjoining each other and being directed towards the gas generator and separated from each other by a wall. The gas generator has a continuous gas outflow zone with at least two sections, each of the sections of the gas outflow zone being associated with one of the ports. The housing is constructed such that gas emerging from the sections of the gas outflow zone can only flow into the one of the gas outflow channels which is associated with the respective section.

Abstract: A housing for a gas bag restraint system for the protection of a vehicle occupant in the event of a side impact has at least one end face for the emergence of components of the restraint system from the housing. The end face has at least one flap. This flap serves for fixing the components emerging from the housing.

Abstract: A gas bag module for a vehicle occupant restraint system, comprising a gas bag (40) provided for being translated from a space-saving folded condition into a deployed condition in which it extends along the inner side of at least part of the side structure of the vehicle, at least one tensioning means (56) provided to connect the gas bag (40) to the side structure of the vehicle in the region of its C-column (48), is characterized in that said tensioning means (56) is connected to said gas bag (40) spaced away from its end assigned to said C-column (48).

Abstract: A hand grip bracket for the attachment of a hand grip in the vehicle also serves to hold a head side gas bag module (50). For this purpose, the hand grip bracket has a bow-shaped holder (22) in which the housing (52) of the side gas bag module (50) has been inserted and to which it is attached.

Abstract: A restraint device for vehicle occupants, in particular for the lateral restraining of the occupant, comprising an inflatable gas bag (10) and a tensioning device which is connected with the vehicle, engages the gas bag, pulls the gas bag into an intended position on inflation, and holds the gas bag in this position, is characterized in that the tensioning device has at least one inflatable tightening means (20) which shortens in the pulling direction by the inflation and thereby exerts a tensile force on the gas bag.

Abstract: A head side gas bag restraint system for occupants of a vehicle having a vehicle compartment includes a gas bag, a receiving container for the gas bag, which container is to be secured to the vehicle, and an ejection channel for gas bag unfolding in the case of restraint. The receiving container has an outer wall, an inner wall facing the passenger compartment in an installed state of the system, and at least one flap which closes the container in a non-activated state of the system and which swings open in the case of restraint. The channel is formed between the outer and inner walls, the flap having structures arranged thereon. The structures have recesses or cavities and are plastically deformed by the impact of the head of the occupant.

Abstract: A mounting assembly for a lateral impact gas bag module comprises a fastening section and a mounting section. The fastening section is provided with at least one opening for a fastener stud. The mounting section comprises two side walls facing each other, and a transition section connecting the side walls to each other. At least one locking edge is provided in at least one of the side walls. This locking edge serves to lock a gas bag module in place in the mounting section.
