Abstract
A motor vehicle equipment assembly includes an air bag support, an air bag fixed to the support, a force spreader plate for spreading the force of the impact of a passenger against the air bag, and frangible fixing device fixing the plate to the support. The air bag includes the force spreader plate and a sheath of substantially closed cross-section. The sheath is fixed to the force spreader plate along one end—in such a manner that the inside volume of the air bag is defined by the sheath and by the force spreader plate.
