ABSTRACT:
A bag for an air bag apparatus activated when a vehicle rapidly decelerates is disclosed. The bag includes a plurality of straps and vent holes used for discharging gas. The vent holes are normally blocked by strap valves each of which are sewn to the bag to form a low strength stitch. Each of the strap valves and each of the straps are sewn together to form a high strength stitch. When a separating force produced between each of the straps and the bag reaches a given value upon the rapid deceleration of the vehicle, the low strength stitch is broken to unblock the vent holes. Hence the bag rapidly expands toward the occupant.
