Abstract

A gas bag module comprises a housing, a gas bag arranged therein, a gas generator for filling the gas bag with compressed gas, and a cover formed by at least one cover part. The cover closes the housing and, after activation of the gas generator, is swiveled from a closed position into an opened position in order to allow the gas bag to emerge from the housing. The cover part, on opening, is swiveled around a swivel axis at least partially beneath a surface which is defined by an outer face of the cover part in the closed position.
