Abstract
An air bag assembly 10 includes a reaction/coupling structure 12, an air bag subassembly 14 coupled to the reaction coupling structure 12, and an inflator 16 also coupled to the reaction/coupling structure 12. The reaction/coupling structure 12 includes a reaction device 20 and a coupling device 22 which are coupled together in a mated arrangement. The air bag subassembly 14 includes an air bag 24 having a mouth portion 26 which defines a gas inlet opening The inflator 16 is positioned to supply inflation fluid to the air bag 24 through the inlet opening. The mouth portion 26 of the air bag 24 is trapped between the reaction device 20 and the coupling device 22 thereby coupling the air bag subassembly 14 to the reaction/coupling structure 12. The inflator 16 is coupled to the reaction/coupling structure 12 in such a manner that the reaction device 20 and the coupling device 22 are locked in the mated arrangement.
