Air bag attachment arrangement

摘要

An attachment arrangement includes an air bag module (12) having an engagement member (14), a receiver (16), and a fastener (18). The receiver is located within a vehicle component such as a steering wheel in which the mounting of an air bag is desired. The engagement member (14) extends from the module (12) and fits within the receiver (16) such that a groove (38) in the engagement member is engageable by the fastener (18). The fastener (18) preferably includes a pair of substantially parallel wires (38) which form a first substantially annular segment (40) and a locking segment (44). The first annular segment (40) is proportioned to receive the engagement member (14). The locking segment (44) is sized to engage the groove (38). The fastener (18) slidably engages and disengages the engagement member (14) to lock and unlock the module (12) in response to sliding the fastener (18) relative to the retainer (16).
