Abstract
An air-bag assembly for a vehicle including an air-bag unit mounted on a seat. The air-bag unit is connected to a mounting member. The mounting member is secured to or forms part of the structure of the seat. The air-bag unit has a first set of locking formations and the mounting member has a second set of locking formations. The locking formations of one of the sets are apertures and the locking formations of the other of the sets are projections. Each aperture at least partially receives a respective projection. A spring is mounted to either the mounting member or the air-bag unit so as to extend across each of the apertures to form a snap-connection between the air-bag unit and the mounting member near each aperture.
