AIRBAG DEFLATION DEVICE, AND VEHICLE SEAT

An airbag venting device () for controlling an internal pressure of an airbag () of a vehicle occupant safety system () comprises a housing () which includes a first flow orifice () facing away from the airbag () and a second flow orifice () facing the airbag (), wherein the housing () has an axial total length (), the first flow orifice () has a first axial opening length () and the second flow orifice () has a second axial opening length (). Moreover, the airbag venting device () includes an adjustable closure element () assigned to the housing () which, in a closing position, closes and, in an open position, releases at least one of the two flow orifices (), and an actuator device () provided at a front end () of the housing (). The actuator device () interacts with the closure element () to release and/or to close the flow orifice (), and, in doing so, the axial total length () of the housing () is less than 3 times the length of the longer axial opening length () of the two flow orifices ().
