ABSTRACT:
The internal tether of a driver's side automotive airbag is of one or two members, each having a plurality of radial straps. Central portions of the tether are sewn to the airbag front panel by a seam which includes a linear portion crossing the center line of each of the radial strips. In the case of a square seam, the square has rounded corners of a radius suitable for gradually transferring the load from the tether to the front panel to reduce stress concentrations.
