Airbag module
First Claim
1. An airbag module comprising a housing and an inflator, the housing including a housing base, two longitudinal sidewalls, a first longitudinal end, a second longitudinal end, and a securing device extending from the housing base internal of the housing for surrounding an outer periphery of the inflator in the vicinity of the second longitudinal end of the housing in which the inflator is pushed into the securing device in the housing in a longitudinal direction of the inflator, the inflator having a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end, with the first longitudinal end of the inflator abutting against an abutment on the housing at the first on longitudinal end of the housing, and a securing element being inserted into the housing between the opposing second longitudinal end of the inflator and the second longitudinal end of the housing abutting against the second longitudinal end of the inflator securing the inflator to the housing.

Abstract
An airbag module has at least a housing and an inflator. The inflator is pushed into a securing device on the housing in a longitudinal direction of the inflator. A first longitudinal end of the inflator abuts against an abutment on the housing. A securing element is inserted into the housing behind a second longitudinal end of the inflator and abuts against the second longitudinal end.

14. A method of assembling an airbag module having at least a housing and an inflator, the housing including a housing base, two longitudinal sidewalls, a first longitudinal end, a second longitudinal end, and a securing a device extending from the housing base internal of the housing for surrounding an outer periphery of the inflator in the vicinity of the second longitudinal end of the housing comprising the steps of:
-
pushing the inflator into a securing device in the housing in a longitudinal direction of the inflator, encircling an outer periphery of the inflator;
bringing a first longitudinal end of the inflator into contact with an abutment on the housing at the first longitudinal end of the housing;
inserting a securing element into the housing between a second, longitudinal end of the inflator; and
the second longitudinal end of the housing;
thereby fixing the inflator in both the radial and longitudinal direction with a form fit. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
