  • Patent number: 11104290
    Abstract: A vehicle interior panel for use over a deployable airbag includes a substrate that splits during airbag deployment to form an airbag door on one side of a tear seam that pivots away from another portion of the substrate on an opposite side of the tear seam. One or more relief lines are formed in the substrate in a manner that allows the airbag door to preferentially bend along each relief line during airbag deployment. This bending concentrates forces from the deploying airbag to particular and sequential portions of the tear seam to improve tear seam function.
