  • Seat back air bag deployment system
    Patent number: 6213498
    Abstract: An air bag deployment apparatus for a seat back includes a support bracket and deployment strap. The support bracket has a reaction surface which extends behind the air bag inflator. The deployment strap is sewn to the inside of a seam line, a trim cover, and extends from the front of the seat along the side to an aperture formed in a foam cushion. The strap passes through the cushion to the reaction surface of the support bracket. The support bracket may be formed with panels which parallel the alignment of the strap. The strap is supported without slack to reduce the gas force necessary for stable deployment of the air bag.
