  • Patent number: 7497464
    Abstract: A vehicle-use air bag module which hardly exerts influence on a side end portion of a module cover even when an external force or heat is applied to the module cover. Ribs are formed on side end portions in the left and right direction of a top plate member of a module cover and are brought into contact with an upper surface portion of a bracket having an approximately L-shape. The bracket is integrally fixed together with the right extending portion having a side tear line and a right side wall of a casing in which an air bag is stored using rivets. A lower end portion of a support portion of the rib is supported on an upper surface portion of the bracket. The side end portion is prevented from being deformed even when an external force is applied from the direction indicated by an arrow C.
