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.
