2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been used an airbag device which is provided, for example, at a center boss portion of a steering wheel of an automobile and which inflates and deploys an airbag to reduce a shock applied to an occupant in the event of a vehicle collision. I have. That is,
This airbag device includes an inflator that injects gas, an airbag that is inflated and deployed by the gas, a cover body that covers the airbag, and the like.When an impact such as a collision of a vehicle is detected, the gas is supplied from the inflator. To inflate the airbag, instantaneously break the cover portion of the cover body formed of the soft resin and deploy it like a door, and protrude the airbag to inflate and deploy it to the front of the occupant. It has become.

[0004] In this respect, in the airbag device, since the covering portion is deployed at a high speed when the airbag is inflated and deployed, for the purpose of decoration, a decorative portion such as a character or a mark is integrated with the covering portion of the cover body. Configurations for forming are known. However, in the configuration in which these decorative portions are formed integrally with the cover body, the decorative portions have the same texture and color tone as the entire cover body, and thus have a problem that they are not conspicuous and hard to improve the decorative effect.

Therefore, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-257309 describes
As shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. H10-115, there is known a configuration in which a decorative member is insert-molded and embedded in a resin-made covering portion of a cover body. However, in such a configuration in which insert molding is performed, it is difficult to accurately and reliably hold a thin decorative member (insert body) in a mold during molding, and a sharp parting line between the decorative member and the resin is obtained. Due to the edge of the mold, the appearance of the decorative member is deteriorated, and since the decorative member is integrally formed with the cover body, masking is required when painting the surface of the cover body, and workability is deteriorated. In addition, when the masking position is shifted, the appearance of the surface is deteriorated and the productability is impaired, so that the yield is deteriorated, and also the management of the manufacturing process becomes complicated, so that both increase the manufacturing cost. Have a problem.

For example, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-257308, a decorative member having an annular rivet portion is used, and the rivet portion is inserted into a through hole formed in a covering portion of a cover body. There is known a configuration in which the rear surface is expanded and swaged and fixed. However, in this configuration, the decorative member having the rivet portion needs to have sufficient plasticity, ductility, and caulking strength, and is made of a specific metal material. When the material is limited in this way, when a conventionally used resin badge having a high decorative effect or a transparent resin laminated on a colored resin is used, these members and the rivet portion are bonded to each other. Thus, there is a problem in that the manufacturing cost is increased, the bulk is increased, and the mounting place as a decorative member used for the cover body of the airbag device is limited.

As described above, in the configuration in which a separate decorative member is attached to the cover body of the airbag device to enhance the decorative effect, it is difficult to improve the external appearance by using the insert molding. In order to improve the appearance, there is a problem that the manufacturing process is complicated and the manufacturing cost is increased. Further, in the configuration in which the rivet portion fixed by caulking to the cover body is provided on the decorative member, the material is limited to a material having characteristics such as a predetermined caulking strength, and there is a problem that the decorative effect cannot be enhanced inexpensively. I have.

The emblem constructed as described above
The cover 21 is easily and firmly attached to the cover portion 22 of the cover main body 20 simply by being inserted into the insertion portion 32 of the cover portion 22 from the front side and rotating. That is, first, the locking portions 47, 47 of the emblem 21 are aligned and inserted into the insertion portions 37, 37 of the covering portion 22, and the lower surface of the decorative portion main body 41 is brought into contact with the locking receiving portions 35, 35 of the covering portion 22.
Insert the turning tool into the holes 49, 49 of the emblem 21 from the back side of the covering part 22,
By rotating in the direction of arrow A shown in FIG. 4 which coincides with the tightening direction of the screw holes 46a and the screw holes 44, the lower surface of the decorative portion main body 41 comes into contact with the upper surfaces of the lock receiving portions 35, 35. The emblem 21 is attached to the covering portion 22 with the upper surfaces of the locking portions 47, 47 abutting against the lower surfaces of. At this time, on the upper surfaces of the locking receiving portions 35, 35, the guide rib 45 and the guide grooves 35a,
Sliding contact is made between the lock receiving portions 35a and 35a, thereby preventing the locking receiving portions 35, 35 from being deformed in the radial direction. At the same time, engagement ribs 48 projecting from the upper surfaces of the locking portions 47, 47 bite into the lower surfaces of the locking receiving portions 35, 35. That is, with the rotation of the emblem 21,
The engagement ribs 48, 48 push up the lower surfaces of the locking receiving portions 35, 35 to elastically deform the locking receiving portions 35, 35 of the soft cover body 20 to form grooves, and to form the grooves. The locking receiving portions 35 are drawn in the center direction (the direction of arrow B shown in FIG. 3). In this manner, the so-called "escape" in which the locking receiving portions 35, 35 are deformed in the radial direction is prevented, and the locking receiving portions 35, 35 are prevented from being deformed.
The emblem 21 is securely attached to the covering portion 22 by ensuring a sufficient overlapping area (lap) between the 35 and the locking portions 47, 47 and firmly sandwiching the emblem.
