Fastener for curtain airbag

摘要

A fastener for fixing a curtain airbag (1) to a body panel (34) of an automobile comprises a screw grommet (9) having a shank (11) to be inserted into mounting holes of an airbag-anchor portion (29) and a body panel (34), and a flange (13) to press the airbag-anchor portion against the body panel. The flange (13) has an opening and the shank has a shank hole continuous to the opening into which a tapping screw (37) is driven. The shank (11) has resilient fingers (23) protruding outward from sides of the shank to engage edge regions of mounting holes in a temporary fixing state. The fingers (23) are held in a permanent fixing state by screwing the tapping screw (37) into the shank hole, preventing the fingers from being bent inward. The flange (13) has an edge with an upstanding partition (19) to allow a central region of the flange (13) to be partitioned from a main body (31) of the curtain airbag (1).
