Abstract:
1. A side airbag device comprising: a side airbag that inflates and expands at a time of a side collision, and that has a high pressure chamber that becomes a high pressure side at a time of inflation and expansion, and a low pressure chamber that becomes a lower pressure than the high pressure chamber, the high pressure chamber and the low pressure chamber being formed by base cloths that are respectively separate bodies; an inflator that supplies gas for inflation into the side airbag; a partitioning wall that is formed by a portion of a base cloth that forms the high pressure chamber, and that divides the high pressure chamber and the low pressure chamber; and a check valve that is provided at a partial region of the partitioning wall, and that is provided convexly toward the high pressure chamber side when the side airbag is not inflated, and that permits flowing of the gas for inflation from the low pressure chamber side to the high pressure chamber side, and restricts flowing of gas in a direction opposite thereto, wherein the base cloth that forms the high pressure chamber is folded in two convexly toward the high pressure chamber side at a region that becomes a central portion of the partitioning wall, and is further folded-over respectively toward a bag outer side and the high pressure chamber side at both end portions in a bag thickness direction of a region that becomes the partitioning wall, and end edges that are positioned at a peripheral edge portion of the high pressure chamber are sewn together.
