Abstract

A clamp for attaching a folded airbag constituting part of a vehicle occupant restraint system to a vehicle structure has a head for attachment to the vehicle structure and at least one arm adjoining the head for holding the airbag. To prevent an arm being broken away from a clamp, the clamp is of one-armed construction and the one arm is so shaped that the folded airbag, or a pouch containing it, is held at least partially between the single arm and the vehicle structure.
