Abstract:
1. A generator assembly for an airbag module of a motor vehicle, comprising: a gas generator for inflating an airbag of the airbag module with gas, wherein the gas generator defines with its generator housing a lateral surface that extends between a first frontal cover surface and a second frontal cover surface of the gas generator, a flexible material layer for electrically insulating the gas generator with respect adjacent parts, the flexible material layer being provided such that the flexible material layer completely covers the lateral surface of the gas generator, wherein the flexible material layer is formed by a section of the airbag, wherein a systematic defined grounding of the gas generator via a grounding conductor is carried out which is connected to an electrical connection of the gas generator that is integrated into a connector area of the gas generator, and wherein, upon inflation of the airbag, the flexible material layer retains its spatial position in front of an outer side of the gas generator facing the flexible material layer.
