ABSTRACT:
An occupant restraint system for a vehicle occupant includes a folded occupant restraint cushion mounted to a support and a band wrapped around the cushion and having its ends secured to the support. The band includes a weakened portion located above the outer wall of the cushion. The weakened portion is ruptured by the force of the inflating cushion when the internal pressure of the cushion exceeds a predetermined limit to permit the cushion to deploy normal to or toward the occupant. The band delays the initial deployment of the cushion toward the occupant.
