Abstract: A knee air bag apparatus having a housing (10) disposed in or adjoining a lower region of an instrument panel (I) extending from front to rear having an outlet opening (16). An inflator and a knee air bag (30) are mounted in the housing (10) in the initial state, and in an expanded state deploys in front of the instrument panel (I). The air bag outer skin has a protective section (32) and a fill and support section (36). The protective section (32) when expanded state is positioned, in front of the instrument panel (I). To improve deployment behavior, the fill and support section (36) features a vehicle-front section (38) such that with the knee air bag (30) fully expanded, the front section extends beyond the vehicle front end of the housing (10) in the direction of the vehicle front (FIG. 1).

Abstract: A knee airbag module for a motor vehicle. The airbag module has a housing which is preferably composed of plastic and has a housing base (12) and a wall extending from the housing base (12), forming an outlet opening. A receptacle is provided in a first wall section. An airbag is folded into the housing, an air generator (30) which has outflow openings located within the airbag, and a covering element which closes the outlet opening. This covering element has a main section (54) which lies substantially in one plane, at least one first end section (52) accommodated in the at least one receptacle, and a second end section (56) situated opposite the first end section (52), extends out of the plane of the main section (54) and is connected to the housing (10). The covering element (50) is produced from a blank.
