An assembly of a dash for a vehicle includes a first plate and a second plate movable along an axis away from the first plate. The second plate moves from an undeployed position to a deployed position. The assembly includes spring between the first plate and the second plate that biases the second plate toward the deployed position. The assembly includes a post extending along the axis from the second plate through the first plate. The assembly includes a pin releasably engaging the post with the first plate in the undeployed position. The assembly includes a release supported by the first plate and connected to the pin. The pin is disengageable from the post transverse to the axis by the release.

A vehicle interior system is provided. The vehicle interior system includes a back structure that further includes one or more display devices for a vehicle user. A transparent cover material is attached to the back structure. The vehicle interior system includes a collapsible energy-absorbing support for attaching the back structure to a frame of the vehicle. The collapsible energy-absorbing support is configured to dissipate kinetic energy via plastic deformation. In particular embodiments, the collapsible energy-absorbing support comprises a hollow tube or a formed rectangular plate.

A support apparatus includes a gas-fillable support that is connectable to a gas generator. The gas-fillable support is securable to a body of a motor vehicle and has a first operating state which exists before the gas generator is activated and which has a first volume. The gas-fillable support has a second operating state which exists after the gas generator is activated and which has a second volume which is greater than the first volume. The gas-fillable support in the second operating state is contactable against a first portion which is operationally connected to the body and is contactable against a second portion which is operationally connected to the body and which is remote from the first end portion. A first mechanical strength of the gas-fillable support in the first operating state is less than a second mechanical strength of the gas-fillable support in the second operating state.

A vehicle air bag device can include an air bag retainer that has at least one clip located adjacent an opening at an outer periphery of the air bag retainer. An air bag chute can be located adjacent the air bag retainer and configured to guide the air bag along a deployment axis during deployment from the air bag retainer. The air bag chute can include a wall including a clip aperture opening located therein. The at least one clip can have an upper surface facing an upper surface of the clip aperture opening, and the upper surface of the at least one clip can be at an acute angle with respect to the deployment axis. The acute angle upper surface can extend from an interior of the air bag chute through the clip aperture and to an exterior of the air bag chute.

Disclosed is a glass article for a vehicle interior system. The glass article includes a glass sheet, a support member, and a mounting element. The glass sheet and the mounting element are disposed on opposite sides of the support member. The support member has a first Young’s modulus (E.sub.1) in GPa and a first yield strength (Y.sub.1) in MPa in which E.sub.1 ≥ 471.288*exp(-0.0294*Y.sub.1)+10 for a first yield strength (Y.sub.1) from 39 MPa to 520 MPa and in which E.sub.1 < 1.941e5*exp(-0.0336*Y.sub.1)+48 for a first yield strength (Y.sub.1) from 223 MPa to 520. Further, the mounting element has a second Young’s modulus (E.sub.2) in GPa and a second yield strength (Y.sub.2) in MPa in which E.sub.2 > 605.1203*exp(-0.0303*.sup.y.sub.2)+3.9 for a second yield strength (Y.sub.2) from 10 MPa to 950 MPa and in which E.sub.2 ≤ 765.0928*.sub.exp(-0.0094.sub.*Y2)+85 for a second yield strength (Y.sub.2) from 78 MPa to 950 MPa.

A vehicle knee bolster to which an impact absorption structure according to the present disclosure is applied includes a blow molding body attached to an instrument panel reinforcement of a vehicle via a bracket. When the vehicle has a collision, the blow molding body deforms plastically by being compressed between the bracket and a knee of an occupant. The blow molding body has an orifice (air discharge hole) through which air inside the blow molding body is discharged to outside when an internal pressure of the blow molding body increases due to the compression.
