First Claim
1. An airbag module comprising:
- an airbag (10) comprised of two fabric layers (11, 12);
said two fabric layers (11, 12) each having a lateral offset (16);
said two fabric layers (11, 12) circumferentially connected to one another by a seam (13), wherein said seam (13) connects said lateral offsets (16) along longitudinal edges of said offsets (16) to form a receiving pocket (17), wherein said receiving pocket is closed only on one side;
a gas generator (14) inserted into said receiving pocket (17);
said gas generator (14) comprising projecting pin-shaped securing means (15);
said pocket (17) having penetrating openings (18) and at least one fabric flap (20);
said flap having an auxiliary opening (21);
said pin-shaped securing means (15) received in said penetrating openings (18) to thereby secure said gas generator (14) in said pocket (17);
said flap (20), after insertion of said gas generator into said pocket (17) and of said pin-shaped securing means (15) in said penetrating openings (18), folded over such that said auxiliary opening (21) is placed onto one of said pin-shaped securing means (15), wherein said seam (13) closes a first end of said pocket (17) and wherein a second end of said pocket (17) has a single insertion opening (19) for said gas generator (14).

Abstract
An airbag module has an airbag made of two fabric layers each having a lateral offset. The two fabric layers are circumferentially connected to one another by a seam. The lateral offsets together form a receiving pocket into which a gas generator is inserted. The gas generator has projecting pin-shaped securing elements. The pocket has penetrating openings and at least one fabric flap. The flap has an auxiliary opening. The pin-shaped securing elements are received in the penetrating openings to thereby secure the gas generator in the pocket. The flap, after insertion of the gas generator into the pocket and of pin-shaped securing elements in penetrating openings, is folded over such that the auxiliary opening is placed onto one of the pin-shaped securing elements.
