ABSTRACT:
An air bag device, which is installed in the dashboard of a vehicle, contains a folded air bag. One end of an intervening cloth is secured where the air bag is mounted to the air bag device or to the air bag and the other end is left free. In the absence of the intervening cloth, when an inflator is activated to deploy the air bag through the unit door, the air bag generates friction by contacting the unit door or the vehicle's front glass. The intervening cloth, however, intervenes between the air bag and such surfaces to provide a constant friction, thus allowing smooth deployment of the air bag.
