Air bag retention in inflatable restraint systems.

摘要

An attachment assembly for an air bag module and a method of attachment are provided permitting the fastenerless attachment of an inflatable cushion into a restraint system. The cushion (12) has a gas inlet opening with thickened peripheral edge portions (36) which are received and crimped in channel portions (50A, 50B) of a cushion retainer (14). The channel portions of the retainer are in turn received in attachment sleeve portions (19A, 19B) of a reaction housing member (16). <IMAGE>
