Airbag cover and airbag device
A decorative member can be readily attached to an airbag cover of an airbag device and attaching workability is enhanced. A decorative member 10 is attached to an attaching part 3 of an airbag cover 1 , and engaging projections 13 of the decorative member 10 pass through through-holes in the airbag cover 1 to the back face 1 B of the airbag cover 1 . A holding member 20 is bent and pressed against the airbag cover 1 side, so that the engaging sections 21 are moved from a state where they are approached to each other between the engaging projections 13 , to the direction in which the engaging sections 21 separate from each other. Consequently, the engaging sections 21 are inserted to engaging holes 13 K to be engaged with the engaging projections 13 . The holding member 20 allows the decorative member 10 to be attached to the airbag cover 1 through the engaging projections 13.
1. An airbag cover having a decorative member, wherein
the decorative member has at least two engaging projections facing each other on the airbag cover side and passing through through-holes in the airbag cover so as to project from the back face of the airbag cover and engaging holes, each hole disposed in a respective engaging projection that extends past the back face side of the airbag cover;
the airbag cover comprises a holding member that has engaging sections engaged with the engaging projections by insertion into the engaging holes on the back face side of the airbag cover and holds the decorative member to the airbag cover by engagement of the engaging sections with engaging projections; and
the holding member is deformed from a state where the engaging sections are approached to each other so as to separate the engaging sections to be inserted to the respective engaging holes.
2. The airbag cover according to claim 1 , wherein the holding member is restored by elastic deformation from a state where the engaging sections are approached to each other so as to separate the engaging sections.
3. The airbag cover according to claim 1 , wherein the holding member comprises a bending part disposed between the engaging sections for enabling the engaging sections to approach to and separate from each other by bending deformation.
4. The airbag cover according to claim 1 , wherein the engaging section of the holding member comprises a stopper preventing dropping off the engaging hole.
5. The airbag cover according to claim 1 , wherein the engaging section of the holding member inserted to the engaging hole is held between an inner surface adjacent to the protrusion end of the engaging projection and the back face of the airbag cover.
6. The airbag cover according to claim 1 , wherein a tip side of the engaging section to be inserted to the engaging hole is tapered and has a thickness gradually decreasing toward the tip.
7. The airbag cover according to claim 1 , wherein the decorative member comprises a locking member detachably locked to a locking part of the airbag cover under the condition that the engaging projections extend through the through-holes of the airbag cover.
8. The airbag cover according to claim 1 , wherein the holding member comprises thick part adjoining the engaging section inserted in the engaging hole, adjacent to the protrusion end across the engaging hole of the engaging projection.
9. The airbag cover according to claim 8 , wherein the thickness of the thick part of the holding member gradually increases toward the engaging projection.
10. An airbag device comprising the airbag cover according to claim 1 .
