Abstract
A plastic cover for an air bag of a vehicle occupant restraint system is designed so that the tear lines forming the bag releasing doors create the door hinges at the outer margins of the cover. Where the outer margin is curved, a thinned region permits the hinge axis to flatten. Safety corners prevent tearing of the cover material through the hinge region.
