ABSTRACT:
An air bag module has a base structure including a plurality of hook portions. The module further includes an inflator for discharging inflator gas, and the inflator is coupled to the base structure. The module also includes an air bag made of flexible fabric air bag material. The flexible fabric air bag material of the air bag includes a plurality of air bag apertures therethrough. The hook portions of the base structure extend through the air bag apertures such that the air bag is captured on the hook portions. Upon air bag deployment, the air bag is securely anchored to the base structure by engagement of the air bag with the hook portions of the base structure. Preferably, the air bag includes a mouth portion having an air bag opening therein through which inflator gas is received. Preferably, the air bag apertures are located on the mouth portion of the air bag and the air bag opening is sized larger than the base structure so that the base structure is positioned substantially within the air bag opening.
