ABSTRACT:
An air bag cover for covering an air bag in a folded state, the air bag being adapted to expand in front of a seat occupant at a sudden deceleration of the vehicle speed. The air bag cover includes a first thin-wall portion which is first broken by the expanding pressure at the time of the inflation of the air bag and a second thin-wall portion which is broken after the breakage of the first thin-walled portion has advanced. The first thin-walled portion and the second thin-walled portion are connected to each other in such a manner as to be substantially perpendicular to each other. A connecting portion between the two thin-walled portions has an even smaller thickness than the thicknesses of the two thin-walled portions, thereby permitting the breakage of the first thin-walled portion to advance smoothly to the second thin-walled portion.
