1. Airbag module for motor vehicles, comprising a housing for an inflatable airbag and a gas generator, with the gas generator being coupled to the housing without screws via at least one oscillation damping coupling member, wherein the coupling member is clamped in between a diffuser and a base plate of the housing, and wherein the base plate and diffuser are secured together by at least one fastener. 2. Airbag module in accordance with claim 1, wherein the coupling member is elastic. 3. Airbag module in accordance with claim 1, wherein the coupling member has a closed peripheral contour and is formed in the shape of a ring. 4. Airbag module in accordance with claim 1, wherein the gas generator is hung in into the coupling member. 5. Airbag module in accordance with claim 1, wherein the gas generator is connected to the coupling member in the manner of a bayonet lock. 6. Airbag module in accordance with claim 1, wherein the coupling member has at an inner side at lest one recess by means of which a holding section of the gas generator which projects perpendicularly from an outer wall of the gas generator is in engagement. 7. Airbag module in accordance with claim 1, wherein the housing has a base plate and wherein the base plate is pushed en-onto the coupling member. 8. Airbag module in accordance with claim 1, wherein the housing includes a base plate and the coupling member has at an outer side at least one circumferential outer groove with which an edge region of the base plate is in engagement. 9. Airbag module in accordance with claim 1, wherein the coupling member is connected in a sealing manner to an edge region of a base plate of the housing base, the base plate having a base opening which is provided for the gas generator. 10. Airbag module in accordance with claim 1, wherein the gas generator and the housing are in engagement with the coupling member and at least partially overlap in the radial direction. 11. Airbag module in accordance with claim 1, wherein the coupling member acts as a seal between the gas generator and the housing. 12. Airbag module in accordance wit claim 1, wherein the coupling member is laid sealingly around the gas generator. 13. A Airbag module in accordance with claim 1, wherein the diffuser surrounds the gas generator at least region-wise with spacing, with the intermediate space forming a gas inlet chamber which is sealed off by the coupling member. 14. Airbag module in accordance with claim 1, wherein the coupling member is provided as a separate component. 15. Airbag module in accordance with claim 1, wherein a the diffuser forms an inwardly vaulted region of the housing and is formed in the shape of one of a pan or hat. 16. Airbag module in accordance with claim 1, wherein the coupling by means of the coupling member is designed in such a manner that the gas generator can be moved relative to the housing with a radial component which extends perpendicularly to a propagation direction of the airbag.
