Abstract
An airbag module featuring a reduced number of components is disclosed. The assembly of the module is simplified by the fewer number of components involved and by the use of a single fastener to hold the major components together as a module. The module comprises an inflator, an inflatable cushion, an optional cover and an optional insulator, all of which are held together by a single clamp.
