Metal gas guiding duct for a vehicle airbag and method of making the same

The gas guiding pipe (10) of metal for airbags in motor vehicles has a bend (12) at one end, the front free section of which has a cylindrical sleeve-form socket (14) to receive the connector of especially a gas generator. Only the rear side end section (F) of the cylindrical socket is formed from an adjoining front section of the deformation bent section length (13) while the front section (K) of the cylindrical socket is formed from a deformation bend free section (E). An independent claim is included for a method for the manufacture of a gas guiding pipe of metal for airbags in motor vehicles.
