ABSTRACT:
A vehicle air bag module is designed to be simply and efficiently assembled, without the use of fasteners such as bolts or rivets. The module is formed by a housing member and a retainer member. Each of the housing member and the retainer member includes integral structure enabling them to be coupled together without the use of additional fasteners such as bolts or rivets. When coupled together, the housing member and the retainer member are adapted to (i) capture and align an inflator in the housing member and (ii) capture and retain the mouth of an air bag in the housing member. Moreover, the air bag module is designed with additional connecting structure which enables the module to be coupled with a vehicle.
