ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an air bag apparatus including a cannister with a compressed gas therein, an air bag affixed to the cannister, a plate member having a piercing member extending therefrom so as to extend into an outlet of the cannister. The outlet of the cannister opens into the interior of the air bag. The piercing member serves to release the compressed gas from the cannister into the air bag when pressure is applied to the plate member above a desired magnitude. The cannister includes a fastener affixed to a surface opposite the outlet. This fastener can be an adhesive strip. The plate member is positioned within the air bag. A resilient member is interposed between the plate member and the cannister so as to be resistive of relative movement therebetween. The piercing member is a needle-like tube which is positioned generally centrally of a plate member. The cannister can be adhesively affixed to a steering wheel, to a door, or within a trunk of a vehicle.
