ABSTRACT:
An air bag apparatus is capable of inflating an air bag body downwardly and appropriately in spite of the collapse deformation of a center pillar toward a vehicle's interior. The air bag apparatus includes a plurality of inflatable chambers juxtaposed in a fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle. In these chambers, the chamber3A corresponding to the center pillar13is provided, on its upper side, with a hooking part21for joining an inside cloth1aof the chamber3A to its outside cloth1b. Owing to the provision of the hooking part21, since the expansion thickness of the chamber3A is partially restricted, the air bag body1being folded in two has its lower end capable of passing under a lower end of a roof trim16with ease and without being caught by an upper part of the center pillar13, accomplishing the expansion of the air bag body1in the form of a curtain.
