Curtain-shield airbag clip

摘要

A clip (10) or attaching a curtain-shield airbag to a body panel of a vehicle comprises a bushing (13) and a pin (11). The bushing (13) has a flange (15) with a leg (14) extending therefrom. A bore (18) extends through the flange and into the leg for receiving the pin. Outer surfaces of the leg have engagement pieces (19) with shoulders for coupling the bushing to edge regions of a body panel hole into which the leg is inserted. The pin and the bushing are capable of being coupled in a provisionally fixed condition or a permanently fixed condition. When the pin is partially inserted into the bore, the engagement pieces are permitted to flex inwardly of the bore, but when the pin is fully inserted, such inward flexing is prevented. The flange has a wall that provides a partition between the main airbag unit and the entrance hole of the bore in the flange.
