ABSTRACT:
According to the invention, an air bag module includes a frame of channel-shape cross section and a box shaped cover of molded plastic construction which encloses a folded air bag. The box-shaped cover is slid between the side walls of the frame and first and second interfitting slide locking features are provided respectively on the frame and the cover to interlock the cover to the frame. A cylindrical inflator is installed into the frame and cover. A retainer strap encompasses the frame and the cover to restrain the relative longitudinal movement therebetween so that the frame and cover are effectively attached together. The retainer strap also has at least one apertured end flap which overlies an end of the inflator, and a fastener is installed between the end flap aperture and the inflator to attach the inflator to the frame and the cover.
