Abstract
An arrangement of a supplemental inflation restraint for an automotive vehicle is provided including an elongated inflator having a main axis and also having first and second ends, and a housing for mounting within the vehicle which has a first end joined to and spaced from a second end. The housing first end has spring fingers for compliantly spheroidically mounting the first end of the inflator. The housing second end has an opening large enough for passage of the inflator first end. The housing also has a twist lock connection with the second end of the inflator to prevent the inflator from exiting the housing when the inflator is activated.
