ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, an inflator module (10) includes an air bag (16), an inflator (14), and a reaction canister (12). The reaction canister (12) includes a first member (64), which has open axial ends, and second and third members (66 and 68) which are each adapted to mate with a respective one of the open ends of the first member (64). The first member (64) has an axially extending wall portion (98) which clamps the inflator (14) to prevent movement of the inflator (14) relative to the reaction canister (12). The inflator (14) is secured relative to the reaction canister (12) only by the clamping of the axially extending wall portion (98). The inflator (14) has an elongate housing (36) with inflation fluid openings (48) at one end portion (46). The axially extending wall portion (98) has projections (102) which engage the inflator (14) to space part of the wall portion (98) away from the inflator (14) and permit flow along the length of the inflator (14). The member (68) is located away from the vent openings (48) of the inflator (14) and has projections (148) to space part of the member (68) away from the inflator (14) and permit fluid flow around an end of the inflator (14). In another embodiment, an inflator (176) has a cylindrical shape. A first member (218) of a reaction canister (174) has a semi-cylindrical wall portion (236). An inner surface (238) engages the inflator (176) and clamps the inflator (176).
