Fugenlose Beifahrerseiten-Airbagabdeckung in einer harten Armaturentafel

摘要

An instrument panel for an automobile passenger compartment comprises a substrate with an interior surface and an exterior surface. A pre-weakened outline is formed within the interior surface and defines a panel door. A chute is mounted to the interior surface and includes a front surface and an opening extending therethrough. The front surface includes a plurality of welding ribs adapted for vibration welding to the interior surface. A metal door includes a hinge portion and a door portion. The hinge portion is attached to the chute and the door portion is pivotally attached to the hinge portion and further attached to the panel door. An air bag module is mounted to the chute. The opening within the chute is smaller than the panel door such that the pre-weakened outline within the interior surface is supported by the front surface when the chute is mounted to the interior surface.
