ABSTRACT:
A structurally-simple and inexpensive vehicle occupant crash protector is provided which can be miniaturized in its entirety and cope with an impact which occurs at the side of a vehicle. A folded air bag is disposed in the vicinity of a window of a vehicle. An end of the air bag in the direction in which said bag expands and moves, is pulled out by a wire retracted to a tensile device so that the air bag is expanded and a state of expansion of the air bag is held. Thus, the tensile device rapidly expands the air bag and helps the inflation thereof. Further, the end of the expanded and inflated air bag is supported by the wire retracted to the tensile device so that the expanded state of the air bag is properly held.
