Abstract: A split-opening portion is formed by two transverse breakable portions that extend substantially along the transverse direction of a vehicle, two front-rear breakable portions that extend substantially along the front-rear direction of the vehicle and are connected to the transverse breakable portions, and a middle breakable portion that is located between the two transverse breakable portions and extends substantially along the transverse direction of the vehicle. The middle breakable portion is connected to the front-rear breakable portions. In a front passenger seat airbag apparatus, the split-opening portion is broken by pressing force of an inflated airbag so that door portions are separated from the door adjacent portion, and the door support portions are pivoted together with the door portions about hinge portions serving as fulcrums.

Abstract: A garnish includes a garnish body which covers a folded air bag and a locking portion which is inserted to be locked in a mounting hole in a mounting base on a vehicle body. The locking portion holds the garnish body which is pressed by the air bag when the air bag is inflated to move so as to form a projecting space for the air bag. The locking portion includes a locking main body portion which is inserted to be locked in the mounting hole and a connecting piece portion. The connecting piece portion includes a locking base portion on which the locking main body portion is provided, connecting portions which are connected to a rear surface of the garnish body, and deformable portions lying between the locking base portion and the connecting portions and is molded integrally with the garnish body. The deformable portions deform to extend a distance between the locking base portion and the connecting portion when the garnish body moves towards a vehicle interior side.

Abstract: A knee protecting airbag device comprises an airbag, an inflator, and a case housing the airbag and the inflator and arranged in front of a passenger. When the airbag extends and expands, it protrudes toward the rear of the vehicle from the opening of the case, to protect the knees of the passenger. The knee protecting airbag device further comprises a holding member having a mounting portion for mounting the knee protecting airbag device on the vehicle. The holding member holds the case. In the holding member, there are formed a communication hole and a support face arranged on the periphery of the communication hole. The communicating hole communicates with the opening of the case and allows the airbag extending and expanding to protrude therethrough. The support face can support the vehicle front side face of the extending and expanding airbag.

Abstract: An instrument panel is formed so that a facing layer constituted by three layers consisting of a skin layer, a foam layer and a barrier layer is disposed on the front surface side of a base and a rupture presumptive portion is disposed in a region for covering a folded air bag so that the rupture presumptive portion is opened so as to enable the air bag to protrude when the air bag is unfolded and inflated. The rupture presumptive portion is formed so that cutdown portions are formed so as to extend from the back surface side of the base to the barrier layer along the rupture presumptive portion. A large number of holes are provided at least in the skin layer so as to cover only the rupture presumptive portion and its vicinity.

Abstract: A car interior part, to which an air bag device can be assembled, includes an interior part main body portion and a cover portion for an air bag. In the periphery of the back surface of the cover portion, there is formed an angular shaped mounting wall which can be connected to the air bag device. The mold releasing direction of the interior part main body portion is set as a direction that crosses the developing direction of an air bag.

Abstract: A resin laminate of the invention includes sheet laminate including a skin, which is securely joined with a foamed bead base by heating. The resin laminate is manufactured according to the following steps. The foamed bead base and the sheet laminate consisting of the skin, a foam layer, and a thermoplastic resin film are prepared separately. The thermoplastic resin film is made of a resin material which thermally adheres to both the foam layer and the foamed bead base and has a softening temperature lower than those of the foam layer and the foamed bead base. The thermoplastic resin film is softened by heating the sheet laminate, which is then softened by heating the sheet laminate, which is then pressed against and bonded to the foamed bead base by vacuum molding or press forming. The thermoplastic resin film thermally adheres to both the foam layer of the sheet laminate and the foamed bead base, thus joining the sheet laminate with the foamed bead base.

Abstract: An air bag apparatus in which the appearance of the interface between the portion covering the air bag and portions surrounding it can be improved, the number of components can be reduced, and the assembly process can be shortened. A cover unit covers an air bag, which inflates on a predetermined occasion, consists of a cover which-opens with the inflation of the air bag, and a body for holding the cover. The cover unit is an integrally molded product in which a skin is formed on a substrate, and includes, at the location connecting the periphery of the cover with the body, a breakaway portion along which the cover is separable from the body when the air bag inflates, and a hinge portion for maintaining the connection of the body and the cover. In the breakaway portion, the substrate has a fragile portion, and the skin is separated into two parts at the position of the fragile portion. In the hinge portion, the substrate and skin are continuously formed and extend from the body to the cover.
