Abstract
The present disclosure provides a fastening strap clamp assembly configured to fasten a first component and a second component of a vehicle together before and during deployment of a safety airbag of the vehicle. The fastening strap clamp assembly comprises a fastening strap housing and a fixing pin. The fastening strap housing comprises a fixing seat, a holder, and a fastening strap that connects the tightening seat to the holder. The fixing seat is configured to be fixed to the first component. The fixing pin locks the holder in a hole of the second component at a locked position. The fixing pin comprises a torsion bar extending along an extension axis, the torsion bar being elastically deformable by twisting around the extension axis, and the torsion bar engaging with the holder at a distal end of the torsion bar. The fixing pin further comprises an actuator that comprises a cam surface and a release surface connected to the cam surface. The cam surface fits with an edge of the hole of the second component to drive the torsion bar to twist so as to lock the holder in the hole of the second component by means of the fixing pin.
