Disclosed is an airbag cover () for an airbag (), comprising a flap () which is opened when the airbag () is triggered. The flap () is coupled to a trim part () of the trim panel () of the passenger compartment by means of a connecting element (). The connecting element () comprises at least one hinge () having several hinge axes (X, Y) and which is suitable for diverting part of the actuating forces of the airbag () acting in the direction of opening (B) towards a force component (FQ) perpendicular to the direction of opening (B).

Airbag cover for an airbag in a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a hinge for an airbag cover, having a planar textile element as a hinge between the cover of the airbag and an adjacent airbag cover region, for example in the interior of a motor vehicle, and to a region of the planar textile element which faces a carrier of the airbag cover and is embedded in a matrix which is connected to the cover, and a region of the planar textile element which is not embedded in the matrix.

Hinge for an airbag cover

In a method for producing a weakened zone, in particular a predetermined breaking point for an airbag exit opening, in a carrier part equipped on the visible side with a decorative material, in particular a leather decoration, the carrier part is provided with a weakened section using first process, and weakening of the decorative material is performed through the weakened section of the carrier part using a second process. The weakening of the carrier part and the weakening of the decorative material taking place temporally close to one another, in particular at the same time. Furthermore, the invention relates to a component and an apparatus for carrying out the method.
