ABSTRACT:
A knee protection device for vehicle occupants comprises a gas bag having a gas bag wall with opposing sections. The gas bag, in its installed and inflated state, extends in front of the knees of the occupant of the vehicle, lies against the knees in the case of restraint and is intended to largely prevent the knees from moving forward. The device further comprises means in the gas bag which connect the opposing sections of the gas bag wall. The means are fixed to the sections of the gas bag wall and are arranged in such a way that they counteract a change of shape of the gas bag on plunging in by the knees.
