ABSTRACT:
An inflatable airbag which provides for vehicle occupant restraint when inflated has a tether inside said airbag. One end of the tether is attached to the airbag wall at a point or line away from the mouth of the airbag and the opposite end of the tether is fastened to a canister by means of a retaining rod housed inside a hemmed loop at the end of the tether. The retaining rod inside the hemmed loop is retained in a slotted rail or channel on the canister. Stress in the tether is transmitted directly from the tether to the retaining rod and thence to the canister.
