  • Publication number: 20080185822
    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide an airbag cover with efficient control means of the tear lines designed on its outer surface so that the cover breaks in a plurality of flaps facilitating the release of the airbag at the required moment for its deployment. This objective is achieved with an airbag cover for an automotive vehicle formed by a container body provided so as to be fixed to the airbag module and an upper surface of a plastic material provided so as to be visible in the vehicle including a plurality of tear lines on the inner face of said upper surface formed by weakened areas predetermined by the lines where the tear will occur during the deployment of the airbag cushion, said tear lines being designed to form flaps after said deployment which are joined to the cover at the area of such flaps defined between the ends of two tear lines close to the container body.
