Abstract

A trim assembly for covering an airbag, comprising: a carrier provided with a through-opening for the airbag; a surface decor; an inlay applied between the carrier and the surface decor and covering the through-opening, the inlay extending, on one side, beyond an edge of the through-opening to overlap a region of the carrier to form an hinge for an airbag flap formed by the surface decor and the inlay; and a fastening strap for fastening the inlay to the carrier at the overlapping region, wherein it comprises at least one retaining element arranged at the overlapping region, the retaining element cooperating with the inlay for retaining the airbag flap on the carrier upon an opening of the airbag flap.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a trim assembly for covering an airbag, comprising: [0002] - a carrier with a through-opening for the airbag; [0003] - surface decoration; [0004] - an inlay applied between the carrier and the surface decoration and covering said penetration opening, said inlay extending on one side beyond the edge of said penetration opening to overlap an area of ​​said carrier so as to form a hinge for an airbag flap formed by said surface decoration and said inlay; and [0005] - Fastening straps for fastening the inlay to the carrier in the area of ​​the overlap. Background technique [0006] Assemblies of this type are known in which the inlay is secured to the carrier by fastening means (eg studs, screws, bolts, rivets etc.) which pass through corresponding fastening holes, The fastening holes are formed on the fastening strip, the inlay and the carrier. [0007] However, in some cases, such as when the car is subjected to a se...
