Airbag module for motor vehicle steering wheels

An airbag module for motor vehicle steering wheels is proposed, having a gas generator (1), a folded together airbag (2), a dish-like generator support (3), a covering (4) which is connected to the generator support (3) at the edges and has predetermined breaking points (8) and also having a retaining plate (5) for fastening the airbag (2) on the generator support (3), all the elements mentioned forming a one-part structural unit which can be connected to a steering wheel. To be able to adapt the volume inside such an airbag module to various volume requirements, without losing the abutment formed for the covering (4) by the folded together airbag (2), it is proposed that there be arranged between the gas generator (1) and the folded together airbag (2) a displacement element (6, 7) which fills a predetermined proportion of the volume available between the gas generator (1), the generator support (3) and the covering (4) for the folded together airbag (2).
