Abstract

A passenger air bag system for vehicles includes an air bag housing, an inflator disposed in the air bag housing for discharging gas when a collision of the vehicle occurs, a cushion accommodated in the air bag housing such that the cushion is expanded by means of the gas discharged from the inflator, a retainer disposed between the cushion and the inflator for supporting the cushion, and an inflator holder disposed between the retainer and the inflator. The retainer has a plurality of gas-guiding holes for guiding the gas discharged from the inflator to the cushion. The inflator holder is fixed to the air bag housing together with the retainer for securely holding the inflator by means of a fixing force of the retainer.
