Abstract: A gas bag module for a motor vehicle steering wheel includes a gas bag (10), a gas generator (12) mounted so as to be capable of swinging, a generator carrier (16), means (18) for bracing the gas bag (10) on the generator carrier (16), and an elastically deformable, in relation to the central axis (A) of the gas bag module encircling sealing element (24). The sealing element (24) is fastened by its free edges directly or indirectly to the gas generator (12) and to the generator carrier (16), respectively. A section (26) of the sealing element (24), which is free before a filling of the gas bag (10), is deflected by the pressure occurring in the interior of the gas bag on filling of the gas bag (10), so that it comes directly or indirectly in abutment with a support surface (22; 28).

Abstract: A gas bag module has a housing, which comprises a cover part, at least one side wall that is joined to the cover part, and a base section that is joined to the side wall. The housing opens along a plurality of predetermined separation lines when the gas bag module is activated, to allow the emergence of a gas bag. The separation lines run across the cover part, the side wall and/or and the base section such that, after activation of the gas bag module, the housing becomes separated into parts along the separation lines into a plurality of segments that are not directly connected to each other. Each segment includes a section of the cover part, the side wall and the base section.

Abstract: An assembly comprises a steering wheel and a gas bag module held in a hub region of the steering wheel, the gas bag module being movable in an axial direction of the steering wheel for actuating a horn. The assembly further comprises at least one restoring element having at least one elastic section. The elastic section exerts onto the gas bag module a restoring force acting against an actuating force for the horn. The elastic section extends between a module housing and a fastening for the restoring element provided in the hub region of the steering wheel. The elastic section is securely and non-displaceably connected at one end with the module housing and at another end with the fastening in the hub region. The elastic section has between the ends a contact section which forms an electric horn contact.
