KNEE AIRBAG DEVICE WITH GLOVE BOX DOOR

摘要

In a glove door-installed knee air bag apparatus 10, a stud bolt 23 of an inflator 25 is fixed to an inflator supporting member 17 in a state that the stud bolt is inclined in a vertical direction relative to a general plane of a glove door inner member 13. Due to the structure, a thickness W0 of an air bag module 16 measured at the inflator installing portion 18d is made small. The inflator supporting member 17 includes a first portion 18 and a second portion. In a case where a hook portion 21a is formed in the first portion 18, the number of parts can be reduced. In a case where the inflator 25 is located at a lower portion of a housing space 14, a handling force for opening and closing the glove door is light. In a case where the first portion 18 comprises a bottom wall of the air bag casing and the second portion 19 comprises a side wall of the air bag casing, the number of parts is reduced.
