ABSTRACT:
An inflatable cushion assembly is provided in which the gas inlet opening of an inflatable cushion is provided with a plurality of retention flaps for insertion into corresponding openings circumferentially disposed about the inlet opening of a housing that stores the cushion. The free ends of the flaps are folded against the exterior of the housing. Some of the flaps may be held in this position by a tab extending from the housing exterior and passing through an aperture in the flap. Others may be held by bolts similarly passing through apertures, with the bolts then securing the housing to an inflator unit, with a diffuser of the inflator extending into the cushion. The system may include a partition disposed at the inlet opening of the cushion housing for receiving the diffuser therein to shield the gas inlet opening and retention flaps of the cushion from the heat and pressure of the inflator gas, and to provide an additional surface for the collection of solid residue.
