Combustion chamber unit for an airbag module
First Claim
1. A combustion chamber unit for an airbag module of a motor vehicle comprisinga combustion chamber housing enclosing a combustion chamber, anda housing receptacle in which the combustion chamber housing is to be arranged in such a way that the combustion chamber housing extends with its outer surface along an inner surface of the housing receptacle, wherein discharge regions are respectively provided on the one hand in the combustion chamber housing and on the other hand in the housing receptacle which discharge regions, by the arrangement of the combustion chamber housing in the housing receptacle in accordance with its intended purpose, are spatially associated with one another in such a way that gas generated in the combustion chamber can discharge through the discharge regions of the combustion chamber housing and of the housing receptacle in order to inflate the gas bag,wherein at least one indentation is formed on the combustion chamber housing and/or on the housing receptacle in such a way that an expansion space is defined in the area of the indentation between the outer surface of the combustion chamber housing and the inner surface of the housing receptacle which expansion space, upon arranging the combustion chamber housing in the housing receptacle in accordance with its intended purpose and by deformation of a section of the combustion chamber housing, is at least partially filled with material from said section of the combustion chamber housing.
