| 发明名称 | Inflatable protection mechanisms for vehicle instrument panel | ||
| 摘要 | An apparatus includes first and second cover segments adjacent one another and collectively defining a surface of an instrument panel for a vehicle in an installed position of the first cover segment and a support member spaced away from the first cover segment opposite the surface. The apparatus further includes a sidewall body extending between the first cover segment and the support member and enclosing a first volume therein and an inflator fluidly coupled to the first volume. When the inflator expands the first volume, the sidewall body extends away from the support member and respectively displaces the first cover segment to a deployed position away from the second cover segment. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. An apparatus comprising: first and second cover segments adjacent one another and collectively defining an upward-facing surface of an instrument panel for a vehicle in an installed position of the first cover segment; a support member spaced away from the first cover segment opposite the surface; a sidewall body attached to the first cover segment and extending between the first cover segment and the support member and enclosing a first volume therein; and an inflator fluidly coupled to the first volume, wherein, when the inflator expands the first volume, the sidewall body extends away from the support member and respectively displaces the entire first cover segment away from the upward-facing surface of the instrument panel to a deployed position away from the second cover segment. | ||
