ABSTRACT:
A vehicle safety apparatus (10) includes an inflatable vehicle occupant restraint (80) for, when inflated, restraining an occupant of a vehicle. A housing (12) has a chamber (32) for receiving the inflatable restraint (80) when the inflatable restraint is in an uninflated condition. The housing (12) has a plurality of openings (40, 42, 44, 50, 52, 54) extending between the interior and the exterior of the housing. A plurality of tethers (110, 112, 114, 120, 122, 124) are connected with the inflatable restraint (80). The tethers extend from the inflatable restraint (80) through the openings in the housing (12) from the interior to the exterior of the housing. The tethers (110, 112, 114, 120, 122, 124) are connected to the exterior of the housing (12) to secure the tethers to the housing and thereby to secure the inflatable restraint (80) to the housing.
