ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle modularized airbag assembly adapted for facilitating an aspirating flow of ambient atmosphere through the module and into the air bag to facilitate the inflation thereof and thereafter so as to vent the contents into the surrounding atmosphere. The assembly comprises a pyrotechnic inflator device; and inflatable air cushion in contact relation thereto; a retainer member for facilitating a locking engagement between the air cushion and the inflator and a mounting plate comprising a plurality of stepped levels for receiving the inflator, the air cushion and the retainer member in operative association, as well as a plurality of projecting members formed integral with a lower surface thereof to facilitate the aspirating and venting effect. The assembly additionally comprises an elongated conduit extending rearwardly from the mounting plate, through the vehicle's steering column at least to an aperture in the firewall thereof and optionally beyond, so as to direct the contents of the air bag out of the vehicle's passenger compartment upon deflation of the bag.
