ABSTRACT:
A pad for an air bag comprises an outer covering including an upper wall part, hinge portions disposed at a periphery of the upper wall part, and side wall parts extending from the hinge portions. The side wall parts together with the upper wall part and the hinge portions of the outer covering are adapted to substantially confine the air bag when the air bag is in an uninflated condition. The upper wall part is conditionable to permit the airbag to escape the confines of the outer covering in response to an inflation of the air bag. The pad also includes a synthetic resin insert having a base part, collar parts, and lid parts respectively embedded in the side wall parts, the hinge portions, and the upper wall part of the outer covering. The collar part couples the base part with the lid parts. The hinge portions and the respective collar parts embedded therein are bendable to permit the air bag to escape the confines of the pad when the upper wall part is conditioned to permit the airbag to escape the confines of said outer covering in response to the inflation of the air bag. At least one of the collar parts has a smoothly curved configuration and joins the base part at an inwardly cut portion thereof.
