ABSTRACT:
An automobile air bag device has an air bag disposed inside an instrument panel structure, having an opening through which the air bag, while inflating, projects out of the instrument panel structure when the automotive vehicle is subjected to a collision. The opening is closed, thereby covering the air bag, by a two-part air bag lid, mounted on the vehicle, which includes upper and lower lids. A connecting member, formed with a breakable line, is attached to a back of the two-part air bag lid so as to join the upper and lower lids into a single two-part lid. The connecting member is broken and separated, by inflation of the air bag, into two parts, so as to allow the upper and lower lids to open upwards and downwards, respectively. The air bag is thereby allowed to unfold and project out of the instrument panel structure.
