Abstract

An airbag module has a base plate, an inflator and an airbag. To manufacture the airbag module in the most cost effective manner, the airbag is attached to the base plate or the inflator with a clamping connection. The inflator is attached to the base plate by a clamping connection. Alternatively, at least one through opening is located in the base plate, a through opening via which during the manufacture of the airbag module at least one bar can be inserted, to stretch the airbag fastened to the base plate prior to folding the airbag.
