ABSTRACT:
An airbag safety system has at least one airbag with inlets and a gas generator for generating a gas with which the at least one airbag is to be filled. An intermediate housing is connected between the gas generator and the at least one airbag. The gas is guided as a gas stream from the gas generator to the at least one airbag through the intermediate housing. The intermediate housing has outflow openings communicating with the inlets of the at least one airbag. A slide, positioned in the intermediate housing, is provided for controlling flow of the gas generated by the gas generator into the at least one airbag. The slide is displaceable relative to the inlets of the at least one airbag. An actuating member, mounted in the intermediate housing and positioned in the gas stream, is provided for generating a gas pressure force for displacing the slide. Controllably releasable securing elements for securing the slide at the intermediate housing in a rest position are provided. In the rest position, the cross-sectional area of the at least one outflow opening is unobstructed by the slide.
