ABSTRACT:
An air bag system for a navigator's or passenger's seat includes a casing with an opening arranged in an instrument panel below an inclined windshield. An air bag, having a gas inlet port and accommodated in a folded shape in the casing, is held at the peripheral edge of the gas inlet port by the casing. When inflated, the air bag will extend a great distance toward the passenger's seat and will also interfere with the windshield. The inflator is arranged in the casing for feeding the gases to the gas inlet port of the air bag which is offset from the center of one of the base cloths, and the opening of the casing is covered but opens upon inflation. The air bag is shaped by sewing the peripheral edges of two circular base cloths.
