Abstract: The installation includes an airbag module assembly including a reaction canister positionable behind an instrument panel, and a breakaway cover formed in the instrument panel. There is a tether having a first end secured to the cover and a second end connectable to the module assembly. There is a tether anchor secured to the second end of the tether. There are members for making a slip-fit engagement between the module assembly and the anchor while providing firm support during cover breakaway resulting from airbag deployment. The engagement member comprises a male connector on one of the anchor and module assembly and a female connector on the other of the anchor and module assembly. The female connector comprises a channel having a sidewall defining a slot through it and the male connector is insertable through an axial open end of the channel.

Abstract: The air bag module door comprises a face portion to provide closure to an opening in an interior trim structure of a vehicle through which an air bag is deployable, the face portion having an upper surface, a lower surface and a peripheral surface between the upper and lower surfaces. The module door has at least a portion of the peripheral surface supported by an underlying portion of the interior trim structure, and at least one first flexible leg joined at a first end to the face portion and joinable at a second end to a corresponding mounting section of the module unit. The flexible leg permits the face portion to be positioned about the air bag deployment opening as the module unit is secured to the vehicle. The flexible leg becomes tensioned as the module door is fixed in position relative to the air bag deployment opening.

Abstract: A relatively thin sheet is mounted between the door and the housing defining elongated corrugations spanning the open mouth of the housing and crushable against the edges of the housing to absorb energy and protect an occupant upon impact with the door. The corrugations are parallel and the sheet is attached to the door along attachment regions intermediate the corrugations. The corrugations are triangular in cross section. The door comprises a sheet metal substrate forming a rear surface facing the housing and a decorative surface forming a portion of the instrument panel and where the corrugated sheet is attached to the substrate.

Abstract: A vehicle safety airbag inflation device including an extruded U-shaped housing (10) with sidewalls (12, 14) interconnected by a web (16), an inflatable cushion (28) and an inflator (26) containing autoignition material. One or more ports, each containing a fusible plug (24) of a low melting point alloy or organic material are situated in the sidewalls (12, 14), web (16) or end caps which cover ends of the housing (10). Preferably the ports are positioned to provide ready flame access to the inflator (26) in the region of its autoignition material thereby causing early ignition in the event of exposure of the device to fire. Once opened, the ports allow venting of the housing (10).
