Cowl top cover and method of manufacturing the same
The invention provides a method of manufacturing a cowl top cover, which can easily adjust a reaction force of a first seal portion, and ensure sealing performance in a lip part. A main body cavity is formed in a part of a cavity by moving a slid core forward in a guide hole and making it contact with a second die. A cover main body is molded by injecting a synthetic resin into the main body cavity. A slide core is moved backward by a predetermined distance in the guide hole so that the thickness of a lip part in a lip protrusion becomes smaller than that of the lip part in a second seal portion. The lip part is molded by injecting a synthetic resin softer than that forming the cover main body into a seal portion cavity.
For facilitating the work of applying a pivotal member, which is to be pivotally connected to a base member, with a satisfied biasing force, a coil-shaped torsion spring is mounted on the pivotal member having one end thereof pressed on a projection of the pivotal member, then the pivotal member is moved to the base member in such a manner that the end of the torsion spring is brought into abutment with and pressed against a stopper portion of the base member while releasing from the projection of the pivotal member, and the pivotal member is further moved toward the base member until the pivotal member is properly set to the base member.

A slider 24 is supported on a holder 19 of a steering wheel 11 via a coil spring 25 so as to be movable in a direction of an axis while an air bag module 20 is supported on a slider 24 via a damper spring 26 so as to be movable in a direction perpendicular to the axis. Since the coil spring 25 does not affect vibration of the air bag module 20 in the direction perpendicular to the axis, it is possible to set a spring constant of the coil spring 25 at a value appropriate for the operation of a horn switch 37, and to set a spring constant of the damper spring 26 at a value appropriate for the operation of the dynamic damper. As a result, it is possible to effectively reduce the vibration of the steering wheel 11 in the direction perpendicular to the axis with the dynamic damper without affecting the operability of the horn switch 37.

The tear line is formed to pivot the emblem to one of the lower spaces of the steering wheel body when the cover member is broken at the inflation of the air bag.
An airbag, which is folded and assembled elongatedly, is deployed along a side window. The airbag has a folded portion and a pleated portion which wraps the folded portion under the assembled condition. The airbag also has an inner tube which is provided from the inside of an infusion portion to the inside of an upstream portion of an inflating portion. The inner tube prevents that the airbag is damaged by heat of inflation gas. When the airbag is assembled, the inner tube is positioned along a first fabric, which is developed so that the surface of the first fabric faces an inside of a vehicle compartment, by the infused fluid. Deployment performance of the airbag (curtain airbag deploying along a side window of an automobile) is improved.
