Abstract
A casingis coupled to an air bag door, and an air bag reaction force is loaded on the air bag doorvia the casing. Since the general portionof the air bag dooris fixed to the tear line outer portionof the glove door outer memberat the cabin-side surfaceand is fixed to the glove door inner memberat the opposite cabin-side surface, the reaction force of the air bag loaded on the air bag doorcan be borne by not only the fixing strength between the general portionof the air bag doorand the tear line outer portionof the glove door outer memberbut also the glove door inner memberuntil the air bagexpands to break the tear portion. As a result, the fixing portion between the general portionof the air bag doorand the tear line outer portionof the glove door outer memberis prevented from being broken.
