ABSTRACT:
An air bag module (14) includes an air bag (12) and an inflator structure (20) with a mounting stud (32). The air bag (12) has a compartment (63) for the inflator structure (20), and has a wrapped condition in which it retains the inflator structure (20) within the compartment (63). The air bag (12) includes first and second panels (72,74). An aperture (94) formed in the first panel (72) communicates with the compartment (63). The first panel (72) is fixed to the second panel (74) at a seam (134) located between the aperture (94) and an end (66) of the first panel (72). Another aperture (88) extends through the first panel (72) at a location between the seam (134) and the end (66) of the first panel (72). The apertures (94, 88) are aligned to receive the mounting stud (32) on the inflator structure (20) when the air bag (12) is in the wrapped condition.
