ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an improved inflatable cushion assembly and method for coupling an inflatable cushion (12) to a reaction housing (16) in an inflatable restraint system. The assembly utilizes various arrangements of a flanged strip inserted into a channel member (36) disposed about the gas inlet opening (30) of the cushion (12) to form a flanged cushion insert (7,8). The flanges of the cushion insert retain the strip (42) in the channel member (36), and are used in the assembly process to couple the flanged cushion insert, in a fastenerless manner, either to a cushion retainer member (14), which in turn is coupled with the reaction housing (16), or directly to the reaction housing (16).
