ABSTRACT:
An air bag apparatus in which a plurality of insertion portions are formed in a connecting member for fixing an inflator to a supporting member. A plurality of bolts are inserted into the plurality of insertion portions. When the plurality of bolts move in a direction of insertion thereof, the inflator is released from a state of being fixed to the supporting member. The air bag apparatus also includes a stress concentrating portion which easily deforms due to force, which is applied to the supporting member from an exterior, concentrating at the stress concentrating portion. When a substantially central portion of the air bag apparatus having the above-described structure is pressed along a direction in which the plurality of bolts are inserted, the stress concentrating portion deforms, and simultaneously, the plurality of bolts respectively moves within corresponding insertion portions in a direction which intersects an axial direction of the plurality of bolts, so that the inflator is removed from the supporting member. This results in reduction in time and labor required for removal of the inflator.
