Airbag module mounted in connection with a steering wheel includes an
inflator for generating gas and arranged on the steering wheel assembly,
a conduit between the inflator and the interior of the airbag, and an
aspirating structure arranged in connection with the conduit for enabling
air from a passenger compartment to flow into the conduit and thus into
the interior of the airbag. The airbag may be housed in a housing in a
middle of the steering wheel. The aspirating structure may include one or
more nozzles and/or one or more valves to allow for air flow from the
passenger compartment into the conduit and prevent reverse flow. The
inflator may include propellant distributed around an outer wall of the
inflator.
