Airbag cushions and related assemblies configured to accept side-mounting of airbag inflators and/or otherwise accommodate narrowing of an airbag module width. In some embodiments, the assembly may comprise an inflator housing defining a plenum. An airbag cushion may be fluidly coupled with the plenum and/or inflator housing and may define a throat region. A disk inflator may be coupled to the housing in a side-mounted configuration such that inflation gases from the disk inflator are configured to enter the plenum and then be directed into the airbag cushion via the throat region.

Narrow-width and/or side-mounted disk inflator airbag assemblies

Airbag cushion modules for aspirating ambient air and related assemblies. Some embodiments may comprise an aspirating airbag cushion assembly comprising a housing comprising an inner portion and an outer portion and an inflator fluidly coupled with the inner portion of the housing. An airbag cushion may be stored in the housing, which airbag cushion may be configured to extend from the inner portion to the outer portion such that a peripheral edge of the airbag cushion, such as a portion of the throat region of the cushion, is coupled with the housing along the outer portion.
