Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing an airbag which protects an occupant inside a vehicle by inflating, comprising the steps of: preparing a front panel in sheet form to be located on an occupant side when inflated, and a rear panel in sheet form of substantially the same shape as said front panel to be located on an opposite side to said occupant when inflated; superposing said front panel and said rear panel, and stitching together peripheral edges thereof by flat seaming; and drawing together and securing portions of said front panel so as to restrict an inflated shape of said airbag, wherein an inflated shape of said airbag is restricted by cutting away a portion of said front panel to form an opening, and then closing said opening, said opening being formed in two locations left-right symmetrical when viewed from said occupant side.
