AIRBAG ASSEMBLY MOUNTING SYSTEM

摘要

An airbag assembly mounting system includes a fastener (70) having a base plate (72). A resilient expansion element (90) extends along a rear side of the base plate (72) and is configured to extend through a passageway (204) in a structural member (510) of a vehicle and through a portion of an airbag (200) or an airbag cover. The resilient expansion element (90) has two co-acting resilient clips (90a, 90b) each having an inner leg (100) extending from the base plate (72). A resilient outer leg (106) is supported by the inner leg (100). The outer leg (106), at a distal end (120), includes extending wings that during assembly to the structural member (510) rotate and over-travel the inner leg (100) to reduce the dimension between the wings of one outer leg (106) and the wings (124) of the other outer leg (106).
