ABSTRACT:
There is provided an airbag device comprising electrical equipment disposed at the central part of a steering wheel, capable of connecting a harness to the electrical equipment while using the steering shaft, the inflator, and so forth, commonly in use, thereby alleviating work for manufacturing intricate components, and achieving reduction in component cost. The airbag device comprises an airbag cover (16) for housing an airbag (10) folded substantially at the central part of a steering wheel (50R), and electrical equipment (M) disposed at a recessed part (16a) of the airbag cover (16), wherein a backside of the recessed part (16a) of the airbag cover (16) is covered with a fixed end portion of a tubular tether belt (11a) for constraining a distance up to which the airbag undergoes inflation and expansion, and a harness (26) is inserted into a harness insertion hole (11ah′) provided at the fixed end portion, the harness being connected to an electrode member of the electrical equipment (M).
