Provided is a knee bolster that is formed of a blow-molded body and can be easily and stably mounted on a mounting target. The blow-molded body has a back surface having a mounting protrusion to be inserted into a mounting hole formed in a mounting target. The blow-molded body includes a lower lock disposed so as to protrude from the back surface to under the mounting target and configured to suppress upward movement of the blow-molded body relative to the mounting target.

A vehicle interior panel includes a foam layer formed from a liquid foam precursor between a substrate and a visible decorative skin layer that has perforations formed therethrough. In some cases, the perforations are associated with a line of stitching sewn into and through the skin layer. A sealing film is located beneath the skin layer in the perforated region to prevent the liquid foam precursor from leaking through the perforations during foam formation. The sealing film extends beyond the perforated region and into a non-perforated region, in some cases extending substantially over the entire back side of the skin layer. In this manner, the edges of the sealing film do not cause visual blemishes on the visible surface of the decorative skin layer over time.

An integrated knee bolster device for a vehicle is configured to restrict the depth of penetration of the knees of a seat occupant which strike a lower crash pad panel when a vehicle collision occurs, thus minimizing injury to the seat occupant, and enhancing safety performance for the seat occupant.

An assembly for a motor vehicle includes an instrument panel and a restraining device which is configured to limit a relative movement between at least a panel section of the instrument panel and a vehicle component of the motor vehicle to a predefined maximum value in a movement direction towards an interior space of a passenger cell of the motor vehicle, when a force is transmitted between the instrument panel and the vehicle component as a result of an accident that causes deformation of the instrument panel.

A panel member is provided in front of a seat of a vehicle at a height such that knees of an occupant who moves forward from the seat come into contact with therewith. The panel member includes a cover member defining a surface thereof and a reinforcement member attached to a back side of the cover member over an entire region thereof. The reinforcement member includes an outer part, a central part, and an inner part in a vehicle width direction. The outer part is provided with a first grid-shaped rib unit. The inner part is provided with a second grid-shaped rib unit that expands in the vehicle width direction more easily than the first grid-shaped rib unit. The central part is provided with no rib unit, and is provided with a coupling member coupling the first and second rib units.

A panel member is provided in front of a seat in a vehicle cabin of a vehicle at a height such that knees of an occupant who moves forward from the seat come into contact with the panel member. The panel member includes a cover member and a reinforcement member. The cover member defines a surface of the panel member. The reinforcement member is provided behind the cover member. The reinforcement member includes an upper part in an up-down direction of the vehicle and a lower part other than the upper part. The upper part is provided with a grid-shaped rib unit extending over an overall width of the reinforcement member in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle. The lower part is provided with a grid-shaped rib unit in a region excluding a central part of the reinforcement member in the vehicle width direction.
