ABSTRACT:
Three apex portions of a triangular air bag32are folded toward a central portion of the air bag, respectively, so that the respective apex portions and a retainer are coupled together by a restricting member39, and thereafter, the air bag32is folded up into an appropriate shape. In an earlier stage of deployment of the air bag32, the inflation of the air bag32to its maximum capacity is restricted by the restricting member39, whereby the air bag32is allowed to inflate quickly to a capacity which is smaller than its maximum capacity, thereby making it possible to get the air bag32ready for restraining an occupant. In a later stage of deployment of the air bag32that occurs thereafter, when an internal pressure of the air bag32reaches or exceeds a predetermined value, the restricting member39breaks or extends.
