The invention relates to a covering assembly over the chute channel of an airbag comprising having an airbag through-opening, which is closed by an airbag flap and an, in particular sprayed-on, covering made of plastic and secured over the airbag flap, wherein the covering has at least one target break line at the edge of the airbag flap in order to enable the unfolding of the airbag cushion, and wherein the airbag flap is connected via a joining point to a flap support wall in a moulded manner, which is in contact with the inner side of the chute channel wall in a secured manner, wherein the inner-side end of the flap support wall is bent outwards with a V-shaped or U-shaped cross-section, and with these hook-shaped bent region, same is inserted in the plastic material of the chute channel wall or engages under the lower end of the chute channel wall.

The invention relates to an airbag flap covering the mouth of an airbag receptacle, wherein an airbag outer cover overlies the airbag flap and the airbag flap is connected via a hinge element to a flap support wall in a molded manner, which is in turn secured to the airbag outer covering and/or to a wall of the receptacle, wherein the airbag flap and the flap support wall consist of the same flat plastic, in particular a composite material, wherein a direction-fin-guiding structure, in the form of numerous slits and/or openings, is provided in the flat plastic, in particular in the composite material, in the region of the hinge element and/or to one or both sides of the hinge element, in the flat plastic, in particular in the composite material, and thereby creates at least one stretch region in the material in the direction in which the airbag flap moves outward through the airbag cushion.

An airbag lid reinforcing member includes a door part, a flange part, a leg part and a hinge member. The flange part surrounds an outer periphery of the door part. The leg part is arranged on the flange part. An inside surface of the leg part defines support ribs supporting the hinge member. The support ribs are arranged with a gap in a width direction of the leg part. A portion of the hinge member is buried in the flange part. In a region of the hinge member between a tip of each of the support ribs and an end surface of the flange part, at least an upper part in a thickness direction of the hinge member is exposed from the support ribs. A portion of the hinge member positioned between adjacent ones of the support ribs is exposed from the support ribs and the flange part.

The subject matter of the invention is an airbag flap system for triggering an airbag of a vehicle dashboard in a fragment-free manner at sub-zero temperatures, having: a lid assembly which points towards a vehicle interior and which comprises a polymer, wherein the lid assembly has a frame body having at least one flap segment which has peripheral depressions; wherein the peripheral depressions generate at least one rectangular basic structure; and a deployment chute assembly which is connected to the lid assembly and comprises a polymer, wherein the deployment chute assembly has a main body and at least one flap body; wherein the main body is configured so as to cover the frame body, and wherein the at least one flap body is configured so as to cover the at least one flap segment; wherein the peripheral depressions of the rectangular basic structures of the lid assembly have at least two different material thicknesses. The present invention also relates to a lid assembly for the afore-mentioned airbag flap system. The present invention furthermore relates to a deployment chute assembly for the afore-mentioned airbag flap system.

A roof rail assembly for a motor vehicle having an open frame vehicle architecture includes a side air curtain fixedly coupled with a sports tube via a first fastener oriented at a first angle relative a horizontal transverse plane of the sports tube. A roof rail trim cover is coupled with the sports tube via a second fastener oriented at a second angle, wherein the first angle and the second angle are not parallel. A cover member depends from the roof rail trim cover and includes a plurality of parallel hinges integrally molded into the cover member. A releasable opening is disposed parallel to the plurality of parallel hinges. Activation of the side air curtain rotates the cover member about the plurality of parallel hinges to open the releasable opening to allow passage of side air curtain through an opening.

A roof rail assembly for a motor vehicle having an open frame vehicle architecture includes a side air curtain fixedly coupled with a sport tube extending along a longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle. A one way hinge bracket overlaying the side air curtain includes an upper bracket portion coupled to the sport tube via a fastener extending through an orifice in the upper bracket portion, a lower bracket portion depending from a lower edge of the upper bracket portion, and a plurality of aligned openings disposed on the upper bracket portion below the orifice in the upper bracket portion and above the lower edge of the upper bracket portion. The lower bracket portion rotates about a bend line defined by the plurality of aligned openings as the side air curtain deploys from a stowed condition to an inflated condition.

A cover device of an airbag including a cover unit formed with first tear lines, and able to be torn along the first tear lines; and a housing unit formed to extend in a direction from a rim of the cover unit, and formed with second tear lines. Portions of the housing unit are torn along the second tear lines and rotate by the cover unit, which is torn and rotates.

A driver airbag apparatus for vehicle with an illumination emblem, capable of preventing the deployment pressure of an airbag cushion 10 from being directly transmitted to a cover hinge part 43 of an airbag cover 40, thereby preventing the cover hinge part 43 from being broken due to the deployment pressure of the airbag cushion 10 and the departure of the illumination emblem 50 from a driver airbag module, by using a guide support 60 installed to cover the cover hinge part 43 of the airbag cover 40 at an inner position of the illumination emblem 50.

There is provided a vehicle crash pad coupled to a passenger airbag door having a passenger airbag installed in a passenger seat direction, the vehicle crash pad including a base forming a frame, a scrim coupled to an inside of the base of the passenger airbag door in an insert-injection method, a skin disposed above the base portion and having a surface exposed to an outside, a foam disposed between the base and the skin, and X shaped incision grooves formed in a rear surface of the base in an area of the passenger airbag door.

A knee airbag device includes: a knee airbag that is housed in a folded state at a lower end portion of an instrument panel, and that, due to gas being supplied thereto, is inflated and expanded along the instrument panel; an airbag case that houses the knee airbag; an airbag door portion that structures a lower surface of the airbag case, and that, due to a planned rupture portion rupturing due to inflation pressure of the knee airbag, is opened toward a vehicle front side; and a flap that is housed within the airbag case, one end portion of the flap being fixed to the airbag case, another end portion of the flap being a free end, and that, at a time of inflation and expansion of the knee airbag, unfolds, and covers the airbag door portion from a vehicle rear side.
