ABSTRACT:
A relatively flexible thermoplastic air bag cover is provided including a front panel wherein a curved border area about a switch location area of the front panel gradually and continuously decreases in thickness. This feature enhances actuation of a membrane-type switch which lies behind a rear inner surface of the front panel in the switch location area. This feature allows the switch to be activated in a switch activation area which includes all of the switch location area and a portion of the border area. This feature also allows the front panel to be properly molded so that the front panel has a class-A surface on its front outer surface.
