Abstract
An air bag assembly in which a deflector plate is attached to the air bag housing and projects somewhat overtop the storage cavity and the folded air bag stored therein to partially obstruct the deployment opening of the housing so that the path of the deploying air bag is deflected by the engagement of the air bag with the deflector plate to direct the air bag away from engagement with the hinge mounting the door on the instrument panel.
