  • Publication number: 20050079305
    Abstract: The invention relates to an airbag cover (10) comprised of thermoplastic material, having at least one first partial region with a first surface-to-volume ratio and at least one second partial region (18) with a second surface-to-volume ratio, wherein the second surface-to-volume ratio is greater than the first surface-to-volume ratio, and which is manufactured by cooling a plasticized plastic that has been placed in a temperature-controlled casting mold until a degree of setting of the airbag cover (10) is achieved which allows removal from the mold, whereupon the airbag cover (10) is removed from the mold, wherein one adjusts the setting process in the second partial region (18) of the airbag cover (10) to the setting process in the first partial region by appropriately differing control of the courses of the temperature in the first partial region and the second partial region (18). According to the invention, the airbag cover (10) is comprised of two or more plastic components (50, 52).
