ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (10) includes a plurality of parts which are clamped together by a fastener (24). The clamped parts include a reaction canister (16), an air bag (12) inside the canister (16), a retainer frame (60) inside the air bag (12), and a retainer sleeve (102 or 116) outside the canister (16). The fastener (24) extends through the retainer sleeve (102 or 116). The apparatus (10) further includes a deployment structure (18) supported for limited movement relative to the canister (16). A panel portion (70) of the deployment structure (18) extends across a deployment opening (48) in the canister (16). A mounting portion (72 or 74) of the deployment structure (18) projects from the panel portion (70). The retainer sleeve (102 or 116) extends through an aperture (96) in the mounting portion (72 or 74) of the deployment structure (18), and is spaced fully from the deployment structure (18) within the aperture (96). In this arrangement, clearance for movement of the deployment structure (18) is provided about the periphery of the retainer sleeve (102 or 116).
