ABSTRACT:
A side impact air bag module (10) includes an air bag (12) having a body portion (330) which is inflatable into a position between a vehicle occupant and a side structure (54) of the vehicle (40). The air bag (12) and an inflator (14) are secured to a base plate (18) which supports the inflator and the air bag on the vehicle (40). A chute (24) is connected with the base plate (18) for storing the air bag (12) in the chute and for guiding the air bag to inflate into a position between the vehicle occupant and the vehicle side structure (54). A neck portion (300) of the air bag (12) is connected with the base plate (18) at a location outside of the chute (24). The neck portion (300) at least partially encloses the inflator (14) and directs inflation fluid into the body portion (330) to inflate the body portion. The neck portion (300) is impermeable to the inflation fluid.
