ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an occupant restraint system for motor vehicles having a gas bag or airbag which, when not in use, is accommodated collapsed in a housing or the like. In the event of an accident to the motor vehicle, the airbag is automatically inflated by a gas generator to form an absorption cushion protecting the occupant. In order to reduce if possible the risk of injury to the occupant on inflation of the airbag, the airbag is inflated with a relatively small expansion rate towards the driver and, in the lateral direction, with a relatively high expansion rate.
