Abstract

A housing for acceptance of an airbag module for a motor vehicle includes at least two side walls located opposite one another formed to be capable of deformation to different extents. The side walls are more easily capable of deformation and exhibit a generally flat area section which can be deformed in the direction of the housing floor if acted upon by force, and which remain stable in shape in the case of tensile force applied in a direction generally away from the housing floor.
