The invention concerns an instrument panel for a vehicle having a form stable plastic carrier, a cover layer, optionally a layer including a foam material, and at least one flap-like tear-open part for the airbag of an airbag module. The flap-like tear-open part is defined by separation lines and a hinge area. The flap-like tear open part is provided with a reinforcement having at least one flexible layer. The layer is provided with through holes, which are perfused with the material of the carrier in such a manner, that the inner most carrier layer covers over the flexible layer in the manner of narrow or shallow elevations.

Instrument panel for a vehicle and process for production thereof

A one-piece housing that can be manufactured in one operation for an inflatable air bag in a motor vehicle is described, in which the housing has two chambers, one of which accommodates the air bag module and the other is a diffusor chamber with chamber walls having gas passage openings, into which the gas generator is introduced. Reinforcing ribs of the housing are made in one piece with the diffusor chamber wall.

Housing for the air bag in a motor vehicle

A housing for an inflatable air bag in a motor vehicle with a diffusor section capable of receiving a gas generator, a shot channel section receiving the airbag, and fastening brackets. A plurality of reinforcing ribs have a shape and are positioned on the shot channel section for counteracting expansion of the shot channel section at an outer contour. The diffusor section, the shot channel section, the fastening section and the plurality of reinforcing ribs are formed in one piece and with a plurality of walls. An edge of the shot channel section is multiwalled and all the parts of the housing are homogeneously connected to each other.
