Abstract

The invention concerns an airbag module for the passenger seat in a motor vehicle. The module is characterized by a cylindrical compressed-gas reservoir (1), a tube (2) that encloses the reservoir (1) and has gas-outlet openings (3) distributed along it, two lateral components (4) that are stamped out of sheetmetal and can be forced together along with the tube (2) by the compressed-gas reservoir (1), and an air sack (5) that is provided with a section enclosing the tube (2), that is secured to the tube (2) by means similar to tensioning straps, and that is folded over the tube (2).
