ABSTRACT:
A side airbag apparatus includes an airbag30and an inflator assembly20incorporated in the airbag30. The airbag30is formed by first and second inflation sections31, 42. An insertion portion49in an upper portion of the second inflation section42is located in a lower portion of a receptacle portion38of the first inflation section31. The gas discharge passages57for discharging inflation gas G in the first inflation section31to the outside of the airbag30are formed between the overlapped insertion portion49and receptacle portion38. In this state, the first and second inflation sections31, 42are connected to each other. When the first inflation section31is not restraining the occupant, the inflation gas G in each inflation section31, 42causes the insertion portion49to closely contact the receptacle portion38, so that the gas discharge passages57are closed. When the first inflation section31is restraining the occupant P, a part of the insertion portion49is separated from the receptacle portion38by using the increase in the internal pressure of the first inflation section31due to the restraint, so that the gas discharge passages57are opened.
