Patent ID: 8191924

Claim:
A dashboard ( 1 ) for a motor vehicle, comprising: a line (L) of less resistance which delimits a flap ( 4 ) intended to open under the pressure of deployment of a safety airbag ( 10 ) when the motor vehicle is subjected to an impact, the flap comprising a wall ( 18 ) having an inner face ( 24 ) at the side of a casing ( 8 ) which comprises the airbag and an outer face ( 26 ) opposite the inner face, and a relief ( 6 ) with which the flap comes into contact, when during opening of the flap, in order to create a localized impact on the outer face ( 26 ) of the wall ( 18 ), wherein the flap comprises at least one break starting point ( 40 ) located in the region of a contact point (P) between the flap and the relief, the break starting point facilitating the wall to be broken into several pieces, the breaking of the wall being under effect of localized impact of the wall against the relief by transforming a part of kinetic energy of the wall into a breaking energy of the wall thereby limiting effects of rebound on the relief.
