ABSTRACT:
In a gas bag restraining system for a vehicle a gas (12) is folded up in the inactivated state in a housing (10) on the frame of a vehicle side window (4). The gas bag is adapted, when there is a collision, to be automatically inflated to unfold over at least a part of the area of the side window to afford lateral protection against impact for a vehicle occupant. The housing (10) of the gas bag (12) is located at one corner of the lateral window, which is constituted by two frame sections (6, 8), converging together at an angle, of the lateral window (4). Two elongated guide elements (16, 18) fixed to the vehicle extend respectively along the said frame sections (6, 8). A number of holding elements (20) for the gas bag (12) are adapted to run on each guide element (16, 18) for longitudinal sliding movement. The holding elements (20) are secured to the gas bag (12) along two lateral edges of the gas bag corresponding to the frame sections (6, 8).
