Abstract: A method for coating solid diamond materials, to solder or bond coated diamond materials into a metallic surface or a second diamond surface under ambient air. The diamond materials are at least partially coated under a noble gas atmosphere by a vapour depositing process, the coating is performed with at least one carbide-forming chemical element selected from among B, Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo and W; some diamond carbon is converted into elemental carbides, which form an elemental carbide layer; and wherein there is a stoichiometric excess of the chemical element in relation to the elemental carbides formed, so an element layer is deposited onto the surface of the elemental carbide layer or a mixed elemental carbide/element layer forms and is deposited on the element layer or mixed elemental carbide/element layer. Also, a machine component, in particular a tool, with a soldered-in solid PCD.

Abstract: It is provided a gas generator for a gas bag module of a vehicle occupant restraint system, comprising at least one chamber in which gas-generating material is arranged; a volume compensation arrangement which includes a first functional region for compensating at least a part of the volume of the chamber not occupied by the gas-generating material and a second functional region for exerting a restoring force on a component of the gas generator. The volume compensation arrangement comprises at least two compressible elements resting against each other, wherein at least one of the compressible elements in a first partial section that is associated with the first functional region of the volume compensation arrangement has another thickness than in a second partial section that is associated with the second functional region of the volume compensation arrangement.

Abstract: An airbag module for a motor vehicle is provided. The airbag module comprises a gas bag which for the protection of a person can be inflated by means of a gas generator, a module housing for accommodating the gas bag, which includes a tab which protrudes from a main chamber of the module housing accommodating the gas bag, a gas bag holder for fixing the gas bag at the module housing, an inflatable element for regulating the gas pressure in the gas bag, a triggering unit for filling the inflatable element with gas, which is arranged within the module housing in the tab of the module housing, and a fixing element by means of which the triggering unit is fixed at the module housing. The fixing element with a base body, with which it at least partly encloses the triggering unit, engages into the tab of the module housing.

Abstract: An airbag module for a motor vehicle is provided. The airbag module comprising a gas bag, which is inflatable by means of a gas generator for the protection of a person, and a vent opening through which gas originating from the airbag module can escape, and a device for controlling the outlet cross-section of the vent opening, which comprises at least one covering member with which the vent opening can be covered, in order to at least partly close the same, and which furthermore comprises an actuating mechanism which cooperates with the covering member, in order to vary the outlet cross-section of the vent opening. The actuating mechanism includes a gas source and an element inflatable by means of the gas source, which during inflation cooperates with the covering member such that it effects a change in the outlet cross-section of the vent opening.

Abstract: An airbag arrangement for a vehicle occupant restraint system is provided. The airbag arrangement comprises an airbag package which includes an airbag which can be inflated to protect a vehicle occupant as well as a sleeve in which the airbag is vacuum-packaged. The sleeve comprises a first sleeve part and a second sleeve part. The first sleeve part and the second sleeve part each include at least one flange portion. The two flange portions are connected with each other and initially protrude from the remaining airbag package, after they have been connected with each other. The two flange portions are at least partly folded such that they extend along an outer surface of the remaining airbag package.

Abstract: An air bag module for a vehicle occupant restraint system is provided. The air bag module comprising an air bag package, having an air bag which is inflatable for the protection of a vehicle occupant, as well as an envelope in which the air bag is arranged, and a module casing, in which the air bag package is arranged. Here, the envelope of the air bag package comprises a first envelope part and a second envelope part and the first envelope part and the second envelope part have at least one flange section each, which are connected to each other so that at least one envelope flange protruding from the remaining air bag package is formed. It is provided that the envelope flange is spatially fixed on the module casing and/or can be spatially fixed between the module casing and an adjacent structure.

Abstract: An airbag module with an airbag and a tubular gas generator fastened to a module housing is provided. Said tubular gas generator having gas outlet openings along the periphery thereof and can be fastened to the module housing by means of only a clamping ring that is movable over the tubular gas generator and over a section of the module housing. The clamping ring has in axial direction elongated sections being separated from each other and continuing axial in the opposite direction. The module housing has in its bottom an opening for inserting the tubular gas generator, wherein on the module housing below this opening a support for the tubular gas generator is provided. The clamping ring is designed such that said clamping ring reaches below the support after positioning the tubular gas generator with the elongated section by axial moving in direction of the center of the tubular gas generator.

Abstract: An airbag module with a gas generator, airbag, diffuser and with an airbag module housing, in particular for carrying the gas generator and the airbag is provided. The diffuser is designed as a component partially fitting tightly at the ends thereof against the gas generator, whereby the diffuser extends in the region of the gas outlet openings of the gas generator at a distance from the gas generator. The airbag module housing has in the region of the ends of the gas generator contact surfaces for the gas generator, whereby dented sections of the airbag module housing are provided as contact surfaces. The gas generator is clamped between the diffuser and the airbag module housing for arranging the gas generator on the airbag module housing, whereby the contact surfaces form first clamping points fitting against the gas generator for clamping the gas generator on the airbag module housing.

Abstract: An airbag module comprising an airbag and a tubular gas generator that can be fastened to a module housing is provided. Said gas generator having gas outlet openings along the periphery thereof. The tubular gas generator can be fastened to the module housing using two clamp rings which can move along the tubular gas generator and along sections of the module housing.
