Zusammenfassung:An apparatus ( 10 ) comprises an inflatable vehicle occupant protection device ( 14 ) inflatable in a first direction away from a vehicle roof ( 18 ) into a position between a side structure ( 16 ) of the vehicle ( 12 ) and a vehicle occupant. An elongated member ( 70 ) is connected to the side structure ( 16 ) and has a first end ( 72 ), an opposite second end ( 76 ) and a length measured between the first and second ends. An element ( 100 ) is connected to the protection device ( 14 ) and at least partially encircles the elongated member ( 70 ). The element ( 100 ) is slidable along the elongated member ( 70 ) in the first direction when the protection device ( 14 ) is inflated. The element ( 100 ) includes at least one portion ( 150, 212 ) that engages the elongated member ( 70 ) and blocks the element from sliding along the elongated member in a direction opposite the first direction.
