Air-bag module with floating gas generator diffuser

An airbag module having a gas generator mounted on a carrier using at least one vibration-damping mounting. The gas generator has radially projecting flange sections for connecting one end of the vibration-damping mounting and a diffusor, which is pot-shaped in configuration, overlaps the gas generator, including its flange sections, and wherein the surrounding side wall of the pot-shaped diffusor is bent at a right angle. One end of the vibration-dampening mounting ( 16 ) is provided with a head ( 17 ), which acts as a limit stop for the gas generator ( 10 ) for lateral movements of the gas generator ( 10 ) that occur in the plane of the flange sections ( 15 ).
