ABSTRACT:
A packaging strap or tether for a driver side air bag cushion is integral with the material of the air bag and attached at opposite ends to a studded ring to retain the air bag in its folded condition during initial assembly and subsequent servicing of the air bag module. Made of a material similar to that of the air bag, the tether must be wide enough to control the folded cushion, but notched at a point along its length to reduce its tensile strength to such an extent that it will break on module deployment without adversely affecting module performance.
