ABSTRACT:
An air-induction gasbag-collision-protection system for a motor car is disclosed which has a receiving housing into which a gasbag casing which is fastened to the receiving housing and is open towards the housing is folded. A gas source is provided in the receiving housing for the filling of the gasbag casing and for its unfolding in the expanded state. The receiving housing exhibits apertures in a housing wall of the receiving housing, by which apertures an intake of air surrounding the receiving housing into the receiving housing and the gasbag casing is made possible. The cross-sections of the apertures are covered by intake flaps, which can be opened by the underpressure generated in the unfolding of the gasbag casing and by virtue of which an escape of internal gases from the receiving housing through the apertures is prevented. Each intake flap is cut into the housing wall as part of the receiving housing and is pivotable about a lateral edge remaining on the receiving housing in the direction of the housing interior.
