DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG MODULE

摘要

An airbag module (20) has a housing (22) with a first opening (102) within a first housing portion (100). A retaining member (24) has a second opening (52) and at least one pair of opposed open faced ramps (40a,b). The airbag (26) has an inflatable cushion portion (80) and a neck portion (82). The neck portion is located between the housing and retaining member (24). A module cover (30) protects the airbag, and is opened by the airbag when it is inflated. An inflator (28) is placed within the first opening from a bottom of the first housing portion (100) and into the second opening (52). The inflator has a flange (36). An edge of the inflator flange located proximate a respective open face of a ramp and the inflator rotated, the flange engages the ramps and is drawn toward the retaining member thereby sandwiching the housing and airbag therebetween.
