Energy absorbing air bag module

摘要

An energy absorbing air bag module (10) includes a housing (12) and a mounting member (24) integral with the housing (12) for attaching the housing (12) to a structural portion (22) of the vehicle. The energy absorbing air bag module (10) also includes an energy absorbing mechanism (50) integral with the mounting member (24), wherein the energy absorbing mechanism (50) deforms when a contact force strikes the energy absorbing air bag module (10) to absorb energy and move away from the contact force. <IMAGE>
