ABSTRACT:
An air bag module for a passenger-side application in a motor vehicle. The module features improvements in assembly and design which substantially reduces the number of fasteners and other components needed to fabricate the assembly. A reaction housing is provided with a series of apertures along a bottom surface and an open axial end. A pair of flexible polymeric attachment members are provided which are sewn directly to open flaps of the air bag. One of the attachment members features protruding studs which interfit within associated apertures of the other attachment member. The attachment members are assembled together and the air bag assembly is loaded into the reaction housing with the studs protruding into the reaction housing apertures. Once the inflator is inserted and mounted it traps the attachment member studs in position.
