Abstract
A passenger-side airbag device includes a container divided into a bag storage area and an inflator storage area. The perimeter of the inflator storage area is smaller than the perimeter of the bag storage area to create a shelf in the container to support an uninflated airbag. A rim around an opening of the airbag is attached to the container using a plurality of resiliently deformable resin clips. A shaft connecting the container to a pocket in the airbag rim is optionally added for greater support when the airbag is inflated.
