VEHICLE AIR-BAG COVER PLATE

摘要

A cover (12) for a housing for an air-bag impact protection system for a vehicle comprises a plate (15) made of a deformable metal or synthetic plastic material. The plate (15) may be decorated directly or by an additional layer such as a veneer, the deformability of which is matched to the basic plate. On operation of the system the inflating air bag pushes the cover upwardly deforming it and a retention bracket (20). The deformed material is such that the cover is maintained in the deformed condition thus inhibiting interference with the inflated bag.
