Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007115519A2] The invention relates to an airbag module (1) for a motor vehicle, comprising a gas bag (S) which can be inflated by means of gas to protect a passenger, a gas generator (G) that makes it possible to release the gas required for inflating the gas bag (S), a module housing (M) which surrounds the gas generator (G) and particularly encompasses at least one through-hole (O') that can be connected in a gas-conducting manner to the gas bag (S) such that gas generated by the gas generator (G) can flow out of the through-hole (O') and reach the gas bag (S), and at least one outlet (O) which is disposed on the module housing (M) and to which a first element (E) is assigned that can be moved between at least two different positions. Said first element (E) closes the outlet (O) in a starting position while opening the outlet (O) by moving the first element (E) from the starting position into a final position such that the gas generated by the gas generator (G) is conducted at least in part into an exterior space (A) which surrounds the airbag module (1). Furthermore, a second element (E') which can be moved at least between two different positions and can be moved from a starting position into a final position to close the open outlet (O) is allocated to the at least one outlet (O). Alternatively, a second element (E') which can be moved at least between two different positions is associated with the at least one through-hole (O'), said through-hole (O') being open in a starting position of the second element (E') while being closable by moving the movable second element (E') into a final position such that gas generated by the gas generator (G) cannot reach the gas bag (S) through the through-hole (O').
