Airbag arrangement
First Claim
1. An airbag arrangement, comprisinga carrier of an airbag covering,an airbag module which is arranged on a rear side of the carrier and which is fastened on the carrier at at least one location, by way of a screw connection, as well asa single-piece reinforcement part involved in the screw connection, with at least one inner thread, for screwing in a screw of the screw connection, and with which a holding force provided by the screw may be introduced into the carrierwherein the reinforcement part is supported on a front side of the carrier and wherein the airbag module is screwed to the reinforcement part through a hole in the carrier which is aligned with the at least one inner thread, characterized in that the reinforcement part is formed from a sheet-metal piece and comprises at least one rim-hole which is provided with the at least one inner thread, wherein the at least one rim-hole points away from the carrier,wherein a part of the reinforcement part which surrounds an opening formed by the at least one rim-hole, projects into the hole of the carrier which is aligned with this rim-hole, andwherein the sheet-metal piece in a vicinity of the at least one rim-hole is bent over in a direction which is away from the rim-hole such that at least one bent-over edge region of the sheet-metal piece at least partly encloses the opening formed by the rim-hole, at a side of the reinforcement part which is away from the rim-hole, wherein the at least one edge region of the sheet-metal part forms the part projecting into the at least one hole of the carrier which is aligned with the rim-hole.
