ABSTRACT:
An airbag apparatus cover has a module cover with a module cover main body, and a door frame with a door frame movable member and a door frame fixed member. When an inflator discharges gas, the door frame movable member is moved upward by an expanding airbag. The module cover is broken along a tear line, and a door portion is cut off and separated from the surrounding module cover. The door portion is moved farther upward with the door frame movable member, and a tear line of the door portion is burst as it is pressed by the airbag. The door portion and its lining plate portions open like a door, and the airbag is expanded into a vehicle cabin. The fixed member, the movable member, and the module cover are integrally formed by a double-shot molding process, which facilitates the manufacture of the cover with high dimensional accuracy.
