ABSTRACT:
A module housing and a module cover for use as part of an airbag module. The module housing has a first sidewall and a second sidewall, and each sidewall includes an outwardly bent portion. A first apron extends downwardly from the outwardly bent portion of the first sidewall to a distal edge, and a second apron extends downwardly from the outwardly bent portion of the second sidewall to a distal edge. The first apron defines two spaced-apart slots and the second apron defines two spaced-apart slots. The module cover includes a lid, positioned over the module housing. A first and a second attachment finger each have a first segment extending downwardly from the lid to a transverse section. The transverse sections extend through, respectively, the two slots defined by the first apron. Second segments extend downwardly from the transverse sections to hooks caught on the distal edge of the first apron securing the first and the second attachment fingers to the first sidewall of the module housing. A third and a fourth attachment finger each have a first segment extending downwardly from the lid to a transverse section. The transverse sections extend through, respectively, the two slots defined by the second apron. Second segments extend downwardly from the transverse sections to hooks caught on the distal edge of the second apron securing the third and the fourth attachment fingers to the second sidewall of the module housing, whereby the module cover is secured to the module housing.
