  • Patent number: 11230249
    Abstract: An air bag guide for a motor vehicle, includes a molded component defining a guide channel with an exit opening so the air bag can exit from the guide channel. The molded component is a thermoplastic material or a thermoplastic matrix and includes an insert inserted into the molded component. A first section of the insert, connects the insert with the molded component. A second section hingedly connects to the first section that is movable and opens under the action of the air bag upon exiting the guide channel then closes the exit opening. The insert is of the same thermoplastic material as the molded component or includes the same thermoplastic matrix and is self-reinforcing at least in the second section.

  • Patent number: 8336907
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is an internal panel component for motor vehicles comprising an integrated air bag cover (1) and a method and device for the manufacture thereof. The internal panel component is characterized in that the area of the air bag cover 91) the decorative layer (2) is adapted as a multifunctional layer that enclosed the air bag cover (1) on both sides. The manufacture of the internal panel component according to the invention is done in an at least two-stage molding tool comprising a slide (16) integrated into the molding tool core (5) in the area of the air bag cover (1), said slide being shifted for expanding the cavity (14) provided in the area of the air bag cover (1) for the formation of a decorative layer (2), said cavity being expandable up to the back side of the support (3) of the air bag cover (1).
