Abstract:
1. An airbag that is housed in a folded state, and is configured to expand to a lateral side of a seated occupant by means of gas introduction, the airbag comprising: a bag-shaped airbag main body portion including an inflating portion configured to inflate and expand when a gas is introduced, a bulkhead configured to vertically partition the inflating portion so as to partition and form an upper air chamber and a lower air chamber, and a distributing portion that is located at one end part of the bulkhead, and that is configured to distribute a gas to the upper air chamber and the lower air chamber; and a reinforce member, one end part of which is mounted in the lower air chamber so as to be opposed to the distributing portion along the bulkhead, the reinforce member being expanded by means of a gas introduced into a lower air chamber in an expanded state of the inflating portion of the airbag main body portion, in which a cover portion along an interior face of the lower air chamber and a redundant portion configured to slacken with respect to the interior face of the lower air chamber are formed; wherein the reinforce member is configured to inhibit gas from blowing directly on the main body portion without restraining a direction of the gas introduced into the lower air chamber.
