Abstract

Emblem body includes emblem main body section and pin projecting to emblem main body section and inserted through opening section. Pin has shaft section continuous with emblem main body section, enlargement section formed to be enlarged on the distal end side of shaft section, planar section formed in a planar shape along a direction intersecting with the protrusion direction of pin in enlargement section, and linear section linearly formed at a position different from planar section along a direction intersecting with the protrusion direction of pin in enlargement section. Back plate is provided with elastic piece section against which planar section and linear section abut from the direction opposite to the protrusion direction of pin at least during airbag inflation deployment.

Claims (15)

1. A cover body for an airbag apparatus, provided with an airbag which is inflated and deployed as a result of introduction of gas from a folded state, the cover body comprising:

a cover main body section which covers the airbag in the folded state and tears open as a result of inflation and deployment of the airbag; and

a decoration member which includes a design section and a receiving section and is attached by sandwiching the cover main body section with the design section and the receiving section, wherein

the cover main body section includes an opening section,

the design section has a design section-main body section and at least one engagement section projecting from the design section-main body section and inserted through the opening section,

each of the at least one engagement section has a shaft section connected to the design section-main body section, an enlargement section formed to be enlarged on a distal end side of the shaft section, a first contact section formed in a planar shape along a direction intersecting with a protrusion direction of the engagement section in the enlargement section, and a second contact section linearly formed at a position different from the first contact section along the direction intersecting with the protrusion direction of the engagement section in the enlargement section, and

the receiving section has an abutting section against which the first contact section and the second contact section abut from a direction opposite to the protrusion direction of the engagement section at least during the inflation and deployment of the airbag.

2. The cover body for an airbag apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the at least one engagement section has an inclination section inclined at a first predetermined angle toward a distal end side in the protrusion direction with respect to a predetermined direction intersecting with the direction in which the engagement section protrudes from the design section-main body section, and

the first contact section is inclined at a second predetermined angle smaller than the first predetermined angle toward the distal end side in the protrusion direction with respect to the predetermined direction.

3. The cover body for an airbag apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

each of the at least one engagement section has a plurality of the inclination sections formed adjacent to each other on both sides of the engagement section to be respectively inclined at a first predetermined angle toward a distal end side in the protrusion direction with respect to predetermined directions opposite to each other and intersecting with the direction in which the engagement section protrudes from the design section-main body section, and

the second contact section is formed along a position where the plurality of inclination sections are adjacent to each other.

4. The cover body for an airbag apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

a length of the first contact section in a predetermined direction is set shorter than a length of each of the plurality of inclination sections in the predetermined direction.
