ABSTRACT:
An inflator and an air bag are received in a plastic cover which comprises a pair of retainer sections which are connected to opposing edges of the cover by plastic hinges so that free ends of the retainer sections are jointly attached to a fixed part of the vehicle body. Preferably, the inflator is received in a gas-permeable and flexible retainer bag which is placed inside the air bag, and provided with a tubular section having a rod member passed through the tubular section along with holes provided in a fixed part of the vehicle body. The free ends of the retainer sections may be provided with tabs which can mutually interdigitate, and an inwardly concave semi-cylindrical profile positioned centrally of the cover adapted to be placed against the rod member. Thus, the inflator can be secured to the fixed part of the vehicle body in a reliable manner without requiring any mechanical fasteners. To securely join the air bag to the inflator, an open end of the air bag may be sewn or otherwise attached to a part of the retainer bag adjacent to the tubular section.
