Abstract
An air bag system comprises a housing, an inflator, an air bag, a cover, and connecting and fixing members. The inflator is supported on the housing and upon occurrence of a collision accident, blows out high-pressure gas. The air bag is supported in a folded form on the housing and in the event of the collision accident, is inflated by the high-pressure gas. The cover extends over the folded air and has convex portions formed on an inner wall thereof by inwardly thickening portions of the cover. The housing has engaged portions formed on an outer wall thereof and adapted to cooperate with the convex portions, each of the engaged portions being maintained in engagement with a respective one of the convex portions when the cover is connected to the housing. The connecting and fixing members extend through the respective convex portions and the engaged portions with the engaged portions maintained in engagement with the corresponding convex portions.
