First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A catch strap mechanism for an airbag module having an airbag, comprising: at least one catch strap arrangement, wherein one end of a catch strap arrangement can be attached to the airbag, and a tightening device for the catch strap arrangement, wherein the tightening device comprises a tightening element which can be accelerated in a straight line, in particular pyrotechnically, wherein the tightening element deflects the catch strap arrangement, and two catch strap arrangements are provided, wherein the one tightening element deflects both catch strap arrangements. 2 . The catch strap mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein other ends of both catch strap arrangements are fixed to the tightening element, wherein the catch strap arrangements are guided around a deflector between the other ends and the portions deflected by the tightening element. 3 . The catch strap mechanism according to claim 1 , which comprises a holder with which the other ends of the catch strap arrangements can be fixed. 4 . The catch strap mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the tightening device comprises a tension cable by means of which the tightening element can be driven. 5 . The catch strap mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the tightening device comprises a piston connected to a tension cable, wherein the piston is arranged in a tensioner tube and can be driven by compressed gas which can be generated by a gas generator. 6 . The catch strap mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the tension cable is guided through a deflection block in which a receptacle for a gas generator is formed. 7 . An airbag device for a vehicle seat, comprising: at least two airbag modules, wherein each airbag module comprises at least one airbag and is configured for attachment to the vehicle seat, and the at least one catch strap mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the ends of the catch strap arrangements are respectively attached to an airbag. 8 .
