Abstract: An airbag baffle mount for mounting an airbag cushion to an airbag module and for deflecting hot inflation gas away from a throat of the airbag cushion. The airbag baffle mount includes a generally flat retainer ring for securing the collar of the airbag cushion around an inflator of the airbag module that produces and expels the inflation gas from a plurality of inflation ports for inflating the airbag cushion upon a vehicle collision. The airbag baffle mount also includes a continuous deflection baffle extending upwardly from the retainer ring and positioned spaced-apart from the inflator, between the plurality of inflation ports of the inflator and the surrounding throat of the airbag cushion.
