Abstract: A clamping arrangement for an inflatable restraint of a motor vehicle includes a base member and a retention member. The base member has a partially cylindrical shape. The partially cylindrical shape extends circumferentially through no more than 180°. The retention member cooperates with the base member to define a circular opening.

Abstract: A clamping arrangement for an inflatable restraint of a motor vehicle includes a base member and a retention member. The base member has a main body with an axially extending length and a partially cylindrical shape curved in a direction perpendicular to the length. The base member further has at least a first securing portion. Each securing portion includes a planar portion radially extending from the main body of the base member and disposed in a plane parallel to the axially extending length. The retention member has first and second ends connected to the main body of the base member. The first end is connected to the base member by the first securing portion.

Abstract: A throat and fill tube protection device for an inflatable airbag includes a first portion, a second portion and an overlapping region. The first portion is a generally Y-shaped portion with a first arm and a second arm connected at a base. The first arm defines an inlet for receiving an inflator. The second arm defines a first channel for directing a first portion of the inflation gases in a first direction. The second portion defines a second channel for directing a second portion of the inflation gases in a second direction. The second direction is generally opposite the first direction. The overlapping region is cooperatively defined by first and second overlapping areas of the first and second portions, respectively.

Abstract: An airbag assembly for a motor vehicle including an inflator, an inflatable airbag and a protection device for protecting the throat and fill tube of the inflatable airbag. The inflator is configured for generating inflation gases having an effective exit gas temperature (EGT) less than or equal to 300 degrees Kelvin. The inflatable airbag is formed from one or more panels and defines an interior volume including a plurality of inflatable chambers expandable upon deployment from a stowed state to a deployed state. The interior volume of the inflatable airbag is in fluid communication with the inflator such that inflation gases are passed through the throat and directed to the plurality of inflatable chambers by the fill tube. The one or more panels are constructed from at least one material selected from a group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), nylon, and combinations thereof. The protection device lines the throat and at least a portion of the fill tube proximate the throat to protect the one or more panels of the inflatable airbag from heat and pressure of the inflation gases.
