ABSTRACT:
In an air-bag arrangement in a motor vehicle a gas generator (5) has a flange (8) which is spaced from a flange member (3) by elongate spacer elements (9). The spacer elements pass through apertures (20, 21) formed in an air-bag adjacent a central aperture (19). On inflation of the air-bag, the part of the air-bag surrounding the aperture will be drawn into an engagement with the flange (8). Should a very high pressure exist within the air-bag, the part of the air-bag surrounding the aperture will be driven away from the flange (8), with part of the aperture sliding along the elongate elements (9), thus permitting excess pressure to be relieved.
