摘要

Inflatable knee bolster module assemblies are provided wherein a knee bolster panel (102) and an associated reaction plate (104) engage to form a bolster housing containing an inflatable knee cushion (150) and a knee cushion inflator assembly (140). Upon actuation, the knee cushion inflator assembly (140) provides an inflation fluid effective to inflate the knee cushion (150) and to deploy the knee bolster panel (102) to provide lower torso restraint for an oppositely positioned vehicle occupant while the knee bolster panel (102) remains engaged with the reaction plate (104).
