GAS BAG FOR A PASSENGER PROTECTION DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a gas bag for a passenger protection device in motor vehicles. The inventive gas bag can be inflated by means of a gas generator and the outer covering thereof, when inflated, has a surface which is allocated to a passenger to be protected. According to the invention, the outer covering (10) of the gas bag (1), when inflated, forms a gap (5) which leads into a surface (11) which is associated with the passenger (I), and, if the passenger (1) is seated in a normal position (an "oop" case), said passenger can enter into the gap (5) which is formed with part of his/her body (K) facing the gas bag (1) when (1) the gas bag is inflated (1), expanding said gap in order to avoid a collision between the passenger (I) and the surface of the outer covering (11) of the gas bag.
