ABSTRACT:
An airbag module including an inflator assembly and an airbag cushion. The inflator assembly has an inflator and at least one fastener for mounting the airbag module within a vehicle. The airbag cushion includes an inboard cushion sheet and an outboard cushion sheet having an outer periphery secured to an outer periphery of the inboard cushion sheet. The outboard cushion sheet defines an open mouth receiving the inflator assembly, and a first tether and a second tether extend between the outboard cushion sheet and the inboard cushion sheet on opposite sides of the open mouth. The first tether and the second tether divide the airbag cushion into a first airbag segment for cushioning a first seat occupant of a vehicle, a central segment containing the inflator assembly, and a second airbag segment for cushioning a second occupant of a vehicle seat occupant, and each of the first and second tethers define at least one inflation gas passage. Baffle flaps located adjacent the inflation gas passages defined by the tethers allow inflation gas to enter the first and second airbag segments from the central segment yet prevent inflation gas from exiting the first and second airbag segments through the inflation gas passages.
