Abstract

A gas bag arrangement for a motor vehicle is provided. The gas bag arrangement contains a gas bag which can be deployed for the protection of a person present outside the motor vehicle along at least a section of the outside of the windshield or another portion of an outside of the motor vehicle, at least one pressure reducing device for reducing the internal pressure at least of a partial region of the at least partly inflated gas bag, and a means for moving at least a section of the at least partly inflated gas bag out of the field of view of a vehicle occupant of the vehicle.

Claims (6)

1. A gas bag arrangement for a motor vehicle, comprising: a gas bag which can be deployed for the protection of a person present outside the motor vehicle along at least a section of the outside of the windshield or another portion of an outside of the motor vehicle; at least one pressure reducing device for reducing the internal pressure at least of a partial region of the at least partly inflated gas bag; and a means for moving at least a section of the at least partly inflated gas bag out of the field of view of a vehicle occupant of the vehicle, wherein the pressure reducing device can be activated at a specifiable point in time via a control means of the vehicle, wherein the means for moving is formed to be self-controlling, so that it exerts a force on the gas bag which moves at least a section of the inflated gas bag out of the field of view of a vehicle occupant, as soon as the gas bag internal pressure falls below a specifiable value.
