ABSTRACT:
In order to simplify the fabrication process, form a lightweight air bag device and increase safety by reliably preventing damage to an insert during the inflation of an air bag, a pad according to the present invention includes a pad body made of a soft synthetic resin, such as urethane, and an insert 14 formed of a synthetic resin plate material with a shape-retaining characteristic. The insert 14 includes a substantially square cylindrical base portion 16 and two opening portions 18A, 18B integrally connected to the base portion via hinge portions 17A, 17B. Arcuate, gradual shape-changing portions 23, 24 are formed at the boundary edge portions between the base portion 16 and the hinge portions 17A, 17B and at boundary edge portions between the opening portions 18A, 18B and the hinge portions 17A, 17B, respectively to distribute stresses and minimize breakage.
