ABSTRACT:
An inflatable restraint apparatus provides deployment in a very short duration while at the same time controlling and decelerating the moving parts upon deployment. The apparatus includes an interior panel and an airbag deployment door formed in the interior panel and designed to break free from the panel upon deployment of the airbag. An airbag chute is suitably supported behind the employment door and directs deployment of the airbag outwardly towards the deployment door. A metal hinge connects the airbag chute and the deployment door, and is structured to control and decelerate the door during deployment.
