  • Airbag tear seam
    Patent number: 11891011
    Abstract: A vehicle interior panel is configured to split along a tear seam during airbag deployment. The tear seam has an unconventional shape with one or more segments forming an oblique angle with other segments. The tear seam shape is useful to further enhance the safety of vehicle passengers and to provide unobstructed pivoting of one or more airbag doors formed during airbag deployment. The panel can also be structured to ensure that the airbag forces used to split the tear seam are properly directed to enhance tear seam function.
