ABSTRACT:
An airbag baffle mount for mounting an airbag cushion to an airbag module and for deflecting hot inflation gas away from a throat of the airbag cushion. The airbag baffle mount includes a generally flat retainer ring for securing the collar of the airbag cushion around an inflator of the airbag module that produces and expels the inflation gas from a plurality of inflation ports for inflating the airbag cushion upon a vehicle collision. The airbag baffle mount also includes a continuous deflection baffle extending upwardly from the retainer ring and positioned spaced-apart from the inflator, between the plurality of inflation ports of the inflator and the surrounding throat of the airbag cushion. The deflection baffle slopes substantially inwardly for deflecting hot inflation gas and hot particles downwardly generally towards the retainer ring to thereby substantially prevent the throat of the airbag cushion from being burned by the hot inflation gas and decrease the release of hot particles into the main part of the airbag cushion.
