Abstract

A vehicle air bag module includes a reaction device, an air bag and a fastener structure adapted to secure the air bag to the reaction device. The reaction device includes pairs of openings with retainer portions intermediate the openings. The air bag includes a mouth portion defining a gas inlet opening. The fastener structure includes a plurality of hook-like fasteners integrally formed with a flexible strip. The flexible strip is interconnected with the mouth portion of the air bag such that the fasteners are adapted to engage the openings in the reaction device, and thereby to couple the air bag with the reaction device.
