ABSTRACT:
A mounting mechanism is provided for mounting an air bag module to a support plate of a vehicle. The mounting mechanism includes a single, generally flat blank of material formed to provide a generally flat base plate and a plurality of generally flat elongated mounting members which are each bent to extend downwardly from the base plate. The mounting members are adapted for attachment to the vehicle whereby the module is attached to the vehicle. Preferably, the mounting members are bent to extend generally at 90 degrees from the base plate. Advantageously, the mounting mechanism is easily made by providing a single flat blank of material and stamping the blank to form the planar outline of a base plate and elongated mounting members which are integrally formed as a single flat piece with the base plate and then by bending each of the mounting members at approximately 90 degrees relative to the base plate such that the mounting members extend downwardly from the base plate.
