Abstract
An airbag cover includes a panel member composed of a substrate, a foam layer, and a surface layer. A fracture groove is formed on the reverse surface of the panel member so as to define in a fracture-opening section thereof two fracture-opening subsections openable in the manner of a casement. The fracture groove has a depth corresponding to the thickness of the substrate or a depth slightly greater than the thickness of the substrate. This configuration prevents generation of sink marks or depressions on the surface of the cover. The fracture groove is composed of a straight center fracture groove section, two V-shaped branch fracture groove sections extending from the opposite ends of the center fracture groove section, and side fracture groove sections extending from distal ends of the V-shaped branch fracture groove sections in opposite directions perpendicularly to the center fracture groove section.
