Problems solved by technology

Between the assembly step of suspending the airbag 304 from the roof rail 104 and the subsequent step of securely fastening the bolts 314 to the roof rail 104, the hook 316 of the roof rail hanger 308 may be easily dislodged
This conventional fastening clip 300 relies solely on gravity to hold the airbag 304 in place on the roof rail 104, and any movement may cause one or more hooks 316 to fall off.

Abstract

A roof rail airbag assembly for a vehicle includes a roof rail in a vehicle frame, a roof rail airbag including a main airbag body and an airbag retaining tab extending from the main airbag body, a roof rail airbag fastener capturing the airbag retaining tab between the fastener and the roof rail, and a bolt extending through the roof rail airbag fastener, through the airbag retaining tab and extending into the roof rail. The roof rail airbag fastener includes a bolt pass through opening and a separating tab extending from an inwardly facing surface of the fastener and positioned between the bolt pass through opening and the main airbag body.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a fastener for a roof rail airbag and a roof rail airbag assembly including the fastener. Background technique [0002] The work of the presently named inventors (to the extent described in the background), and aspects described in the specification which were not necessarily considered prior art at the time of filing, are neither expressly nor implicitly admitted to the present disclosure current technology. [0003] The use of roof rail airbag assemblies primarily for the protection of vehicle occupants is well known. Likewise, methods of attaching these airbag assemblies are well known. Although these airbag assemblies are widely used, and although they are attached to the interior of a vehicle's roof rail by many different means, typical attachment mechanisms have a number of inherent limitations. [0004] figure 1 is a perspective view of the interior of a frame 100 in a vehicle with an airbag 102 mounted to a...
