ABSTRACT:
An airbag module assembly includes an airbag, deployment housing, manifold, and inflator. The airbag has a plurality of apertures formed therethrough adjacent the airbag opening. The apertures of the airbag cooperate with tabs on the airbag deployment housing to secure the bag to the housing. The tabs of the airbag deployment housing snap into position between a pair of ears extending from the manifold. The ears are swaged and the manifold chamfered in order to hold the airbag deployment housing in position laterally along the manifold. Accordingly, for assembly, the airbag apertures are mated with the respective airbag deployment housing tabs, and the airbag deployment housing is snapped into position between the ears of the manifold. Alternatively, the ears are spaced sufficiently apart to allow the housing tabs to be placed therebetween, and the ears are then crimped, staked or swaged over the tabs.
