An air bag is formed of an opening formed at the rear end for receiving an inflator; a vent hole formed in the rear face; and reinforcing cloth patches sewn by threads to the peripheral edges of the opening and the vent hole. The air bag further includes a heat resisting sheet formed continuously on the inner face of the air bag over the opening and the vent hole for covering and protecting the threads.

An inflator mounting structure for a passenger's air bag system is formed of an inflator having a cylindrical body portion charged with a gas producing agent, and a retainer retaining the inflator therein and having an opening in its side for inserting the inflator thereinto. Further included is a bushing made of a resin or rubber and interposed between the inner circumference of the opening of the retainer and the outer circumference of the inflator.

An air bag device has a retainer, an air bag, a module cover and an inflator. The retainer has a flat plate portion and an erected piece projecting from the plate portion. The cover has a leg faced and fixed to the erected portion. A projection is provided at the leg which is engaged with an opening provided at the erected piece so that the module cover is held at a predetermined position during a process of fixing the leg to the erected piece.

Air bag device having a connecting arrangement to facilitate assembly

An air bag device, in which an air bag molded by one-color molding is attached to a retainer to which a module cover for covering the air bag is fixed, is characterized in that the module cover is provided with an engagement portion for the retainer.

Air bag device

A modular cover for an air bag comprises a rigid inner layer, a soft outer layer, and a tear line along which the modular cover is torn. The tear line includes a raised portion extending from the inner layer into the outer layer, and a recessed portion formed in the inner surface of the modular cover. The modular cover includes a convexed portion extending from the inner layer into the outer layer and located adjacent to the tear line so as to prevent the outer layer from suffering from depressions.
