Abstract
An apparatus () includes an inflatable protection device () having an upper portion () and a lower portion () and an inflator () having inflation fluid outlets (). The inflator () is actuatable to inflate the protection device (). A retainer () includes a base portion () for clamping the inflator () to a support member (). The retainer () further includes a cover portion () that has a deflector portion () and a top portion (). The deflector portion () directs inflation fluid from the inflator () into the protection device () in a direction substantially parallel to a central axis () of the inflator (). The cover portion () directs inflation fluid from a first half () of the cover portion () into the upper portion () of the protection device () at a first volumetric flow rate and from a second half () of the cover portion () into the lower portion () of the protection device () at a second volumetric flow rate that is greater than the first volumetric flow rate.
