<p>An air cushion restraint system (ARCS) incorporates an air bag (16) with a retainer ring member (50) to reinforce the inflation or mounting opening (48) which is provided to enable inflation gases to be vented into the bag and to mount the bag to the associates vehicle structure. The retainer ring (50) is sewn directly to the air bag (16) at the inflation opening (48) and is preferably made of a polymeric material. In a preferred embodiment the retainer ring (50) features projecting post members (54) which enter and engage with apertures (28, 38) in a corresponding mounting structure (12, 14) to prevent the air bag (16) from pulling away from the attachment structures during deployment. <IMAGE></p> |
