Abstract
An airbag covering with a covering element (20) with an upper side and a lower side and at least two axially extending openings (22) from an upper end to a lower end, and with an emblem or design element on the covering element (20). The design element has at least two fastening pins (34) extending in the axial direction from the emblem section (32) through one opening (22). The fastening pin (34) has a thickened head (36) produced by thermal deformation. At least sections of the contact surface (38) of the head (36), which contact surface (38) faces the lower side of the covering element, do not extend perpendicularly to the axial direction.

An airbag cover comprising a cover element having an upper side and a lower side, the cover element having at least two openings that extend from an upper end to a lower end in an axial direction, and
- an emblem or design element disposed on the cover element having a visible emblem or design section arranged on the upper side of the cover element and at least two fastening pins that extend respectively in axial direction from the emblem or design section through the cover opening, wherein the fastening pins have a thickened head, and a contact surface of the head facing toward the lower side of the cover element does not extend vertically, at least in sections, to the axial direction.
A method of manufacturing an airbag cover comprising providing a cover element having an upper side and a lower side, the cover element having at least two openings that extend from one upper end to one lower end in an axial direction, and
- an emblem or design element disposed on a cover element which has a visible emblem or design section arranged on the upper side of the cover element and at least two fastening pins that extend respectively in axial direction from the emblem or design section through the opening, and forming a thickened head by thermal shaping of the pin extending through the opening, wherein the contact surface of the head facing toward the lower side of the cover element does not extend vertically, at least in sections, to the axial direction.
