ABSTRACT:
To accommodate a gas generator of an airbag for front-seat passenger protection in a motor vehicle, a trough-like housing is proposed which has a constant U-shaped cross section on its length, and flat sidewalls at its ends, which is characterized by two half shells of substantially mirror-image configuration made by casting in a mold with integrally attached side wall halves and by joining the two half shells. The manufacturing method to be applied according to the invention permits flexible adaption of the trough-like housing both to local space requirements and to functional requirements. The housing is especially light and can be made very inexpensively.
