ABSTRACT:
A restricting member39disposed along an outer surface of an air bag32restricts an axial inflation of the air bag32in an earlier stage of deployment of the air bag32, and in a later stage of deployment, the restricting member39allows for the inflation of the air bag32to its maximum capacity through breakage of brittle portions41b. In the deployment process of the air bag32, since vent holes37bformed in a base fabric37of the air bag32are closed by the restricting member39, the leakage of gas from the vent holes37bis prevented to thereby enable a quick deployment of the air bag32. Then, when the brittle portions41bon the restricting member39break, the vent holes37bare opened.
