An air bag module uses a toroidal inflator which is clamped in the center of the module. The toroidal inflator used in the module does not have a flange for the attachment thereof to the module housing. The inflator is clamped in the module between the housing and a retaining bracket so that an inflator flange is not needed. The appearance and function of the module are not changed. Only the internal components of the module are changed.

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 4, 1994. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended July 4, 2014.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 4, 2016.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
