ABSTRACT:
An air bag has a cushion which is inflated by a gas which is generated in an inflator. The gas has a high velocity and temperature. An integral gas direction device or strap is incorporated in a driver side air bag. The gas direction device is formed in a retainer plate to which the inflator is secured. The gas direction device has a dome top and two upstanding side walls which partially surround the inflator. The side wall and dome top direct the high velocity heated gas generated in the inflator to control the impact of the gas on the cushion. The strap will also restrict the gas deployment of the cushion toward the vehicle operator.
