An interior panelling part for covering an airbag has a sheet-like support, a decorative layer and an intermediate layer arranged between the support and the decorative layer. A passage opening for the airbag is left open in the support. The intermediate layer comprises a mat which spans the passage opening and overlaps with the support outside the passage opening. The intermediate layer and/or the decorative layer is/are weakened longitudinally or offset parallel to an edge of the passage opening on just one side of the passage opening.

Interior panelling part for covering an airbag and method for production thereof

Described is an interior trim part for covering an airbag, which may include a two-dimensional carrier, a surface decor and a foamed intermediate layer. A through-opening for the airbag is recessed in the carrier, and an inlay covering the through-opening is applied into the intermediate layer, such that the inlay projects beyond an edge of the through-opening on one side and there, in an overlapping region of the inlay and of the carrier, serves as a hinge for an airbag flap formed by the surface decor and the intermediate layer with the inlay. Furthermore, with a folding open of the airbag flap, an energy amount which is dependent on the intensity of an opening impact of the airbag, may be absorbed by way of a release of the intermediate layer with the inlay from the carrier, away from the edge in the overlapping region.
