Abstract
A novel airbag module is described. The airbag module includes an inflatable cushion defining a mouth for receiving inflation fluid. A substantially cylindrical housing is configured to retain the inflatable cushion in a folded state. A disc-shaped inflation fluid source is attached to the housing and is in communication with the inflatable cushion. The inflation fluid source is positioned substantially within the housing and is configured to produce at least about 120 liters of inflation fluid volume. A flared retaining collar is positioned about the inflation fluid source adjacent an inner surface of the inflatable cushion to retain the inflatable cushion in communication with the inflation fluid source.
