ABSTRACT:
A one-piece molded plastic retainer is employed to hold each of two opposed edges of an airbag mouth in engagement with a reaction canister. The retainer is sewn, or otherwise secured, in the airbag mouth and includes a rod carrying a pair of integral discs which snap-fit into rails in a diffuser plate. The rails are thereafter slid into channels in the reaction canister. The rod includes a stiffening rib to resist stresses imposed during assembly and during bag deployment.
