ABSTRACT:
An air bag is formed of a panel and a guide member fixed between two side portions of the panel. The guide member may be formed of first piece extending diagonally upwardly from a lower end near an opening of the panel to form an upper chamber, and a second piece extending diagonally downwardly from the lower end to form a lower chamber, wherein a middle chamber is defined by the front portion and first and second pieces. Gas generated by an inflator firstly enters into both the upper and lower chambers to expand the same and then flows into the middle chamber to completely inflate the air bag. The guide member may be formed of first and second guide member. The first guide member extends diagonally upwardly from a lower end adjacent the opening to form an upper chamber, and the second guide member extends upwardly from the lower portion of the air bag. A front chamber is defined between a front portion and the second guide member, and a middle chamber is defined between the first and second guide members. The gas generated by the inflator flows into only the upper chamber through the opening, and enters into the middle chamber through the front chamber to fully inflate the air bag.
