A dual-stage air bag module for a passenger seat capable of easily controlling
and changing gas pressures to be provided into an air cushion, and also implementing
a miniaturization and a lightweight of the air bag module. The first and second
inflators, which are controlled by a control unit, are arranged in a diagonal direction
to each other within a housing. The first and second inflators are generally inflators
for a driver seat air bag modules mounted in a steering wheel. The retainer is
fixed in the state that a portion thereof is received in the upper portion of the
housing in order to fix the cushion holder assembled with the air cushion within
the housing. The retainer is coupled through a predetermined coupling member to
the housing with the first and second inflators. Therefore, in accordance with
the present invention, it is possible to properly change capacities of the first
and second inflators and use various specifications of the first and second inflators,
thereby facilitating control of gas pressures provided into the air cushion by
the inflators and decreasing an air bag module in its size and weight, by adopting
the inflator for a driver seat air bag having a relatively small capability as
an inflator for a passenger seat air bag.
