ABSTRACT:
An inflator adapter is provided for mounting a generally cylindrical inflator in an airbag module. The adapter has a hollow cylindrical shape with an inside diameter slightly larger than the outside diameter of the inflator being mounted therein. The adapter contains a plurality of internal inwardly protruding teeth located around the circumference of one end thereof. When the adapter is pressed on to the inflator, the inwardly facing teeth bite into the exterior of the inflator, thereby mechanically locking the adapter onto the inflator which is then mounted in the airbag module.
