Abstract

An airbag module comprises a housing and an airbag that is arranged in the housing and, at least in sections, folded into a package. A deflection device is provided for the package. The deflection device, the housing and the package are coordinated with each other in such a way that the folded package emerges from the housing in a first direction and is then deflected by means of the deflection device by a predefined angle. There is also proposed a steering wheel including such an airbag module.
