ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (20) for attaching an air bag (22) and an inflator (24) to a vehicle steering wheel (26) comprises a mounting plate (28) which is connectable with the steering wheel. The air bag (22) has a mounting portion (44) which encircles an inlet opening (46) into the air bag. A bag ring (162) clamps the mounting portion (44) of the air bag (22) and a flange (104) on the inflator (24) between the bag ring and the mounting plate (28). Only three fasteners (168) substantially equally spaced about a central axis (C) of the bag ring (162) secure the mounting plate (28) and bag ring (162) together to clamp the inflator flange (104) and mounting portion (44) of the air bag (22) between the mounting plate (28) and bag ring (162).
