ABSTRACT:
A driver air bag module is provided that is attachable to the steering wheel of an automotive vehicle and includes dual cylindrical inflators mounted to a base plate to which an air cushion enclosing cover is attached. The inflators are retained in recesses defined between an inflator retainer and the base plate which provide means for directing gas from the inflators into the air cushion. The assembly utilizes relatively inexpensive cylindrical inflators which may be operated together for maximum pressure inflation of the air cushion or singly for a lesser pressure inflation where operation of the air cushion at a lower pressure is desired.
