<p>A cover for an air-bag comprises a carrier (1), a foam layer (11) and an outer skin (12). The carrier (1) has a main portion (2) carrying a depending flange (5) provided with means (6) to enable the flange to be secured to an air-bag housing. A plurality of spaced apart recesses (7) are provided in the upper surface (8) of the main part (2) of the carrier in alignment with the flange (5), thus providing areas of relatively thin material (10) extending between the flange (5) and the main part (2) of the carrier (1). The flange (5) extends across substantially the whole width of the carrier (1) thus providing secure support for the carrier (1). The carrier (1) can be moulded using simple moulding tools. When the cover opens in the manner of a lid (indicated by arrow (4)) the flange (5) snaps off the main part (2) of the carrier (1).</p> |
