ABSTRACT:
An air bag assembly may have curved air bag lids that are reliably opened and that are more stiffly supported. A member which connects the lids to a casing is formed of a plastically deformable member having a bent portion. This member supports the lids on the casing with considerable stiffness. When the air bag inflates, the bent portion is plastically deformed to extend outwardly of the instrument panel. As the lids open, the member does not restrict movement to rotate about a center point.
