ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an automotive air bag for an air bag device. This air bag in an inflated condition is generally pentahedral by the provision of a first or bottom surface, a second or upper surface, a front surface for cushioning a front passenger, and a pair of side surfaces. The first and second surfaces each extend from a first or forehand edge portion of the air bag. The first surface has (1) an opening for introducing gas into the air bag and (2) a reinforced portion surrounding the opening and adapted to be fastened to a retainer. This opening is disposed in the vicinity of the first edge portion. Thus, the air bag can efficiently be inflated.
