ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for protecting a passenger of a vehicle, which is able to expand by at least one gas inflator activated in response to an impact in the case of a collision. The invention discloses an expandable passenger protecting apparatus, including a dashboard (10) having a breakable line (11a) invisible from the outside, an airbag door (11) defined by the breakable line (11a), an expandable passenger protecting module (50) arranged inside the dashboard to be aligned with the door (11), and a door holding unit (30) connected to both the airbag door and the dashboard for allowing the door to be rotated while maintaining one end of the door to the dashboard when the airbag is expanded and projected from the dashboard to a passenger. The present invention provides excellent operational efficiency of the airbag as well as the low manufacturing cost of the apparatus.
