OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM

摘要

An occupant restraint system includes a gas generator and a reaction plate assembly located in generally parallel relationship. The reaction plate assembly includes an elongated U-shaped member having spaced end plates, one being provided with a U-shaped flanged slot or opening. An elongated diffuser between the end plates with one open end thereof terminating within the flanged opening of the one end plate. The other closed end of the diffuser is bolted to the other end plate. The open end of the diffuser includes a generally T-shaped radially extending tab having the shank thereof received within a slot of the flange of the opening to rotatably index the diffuser with respect to the reaction plate assembly. A manifold connects to the outlet end of the gas generator and includes a tapered neck received within the open end of the diffuser. The manifold is bolted to the one end plate.
