ABSTRACT:
An airbag module to protect an occupant in the passenger compartment in the event of a crash of the vehicle. In a most basic embodiment, the module includes an elongate housing having a length in the longitudinal direction which is substantially larger than its width or thickness in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction, an airbag situated within the housing, an inflator arranged in the housing to produce pressurized gas to inflate the airbag, mounting members for mounting the module in the passenger compartment and an initiator for initiating the inflator to produce the pressurized gas in response to the crash of the vehicle. The housing includes a cover for releasably retaining the airbag so that it can deploy upon inflation of the airbag.
