Abstract
The present invention is directed toward a cosmetic container or enclosure for a high performance inflatable air bag utilizing a new and improved hinge structure especially designed to allow a cover to be fractured into pivotally openable panels or doors adapted to open during inflation of the air bag but yet the hinges are strong enough to positively retain the panels of the cover to a fixed portion of the container after opening occurs so that damage to the air bag or injury to persons does not result with the consequent adverse affects to the safety and operation of the air bag deployment.
