ABSTRACT:
An instrument panel concealing plate is integrally formed with an instrument panel about a steering column for concealing the inside of the instrument panel so as not to be visible through the instrument panel and a steering column cover. According to the invention the concealing plate is formed with a breaking portion consisting of a series of slots or grooves formed in the concealing plate, so that the plate is adapted to be easily broken off when it is subjected to an impact by a steering column cover in collision of a vehicle, thereby absorbing the impact caused by a collision of a bosom of a driver against a steering wheel and preventing sharp edges of broken parts of the steering column cover caused by the breaking off of the cover itself, which would otherwise injure the driver.
