An airbag system includes an airbag having therein a plurality of chambers defined by a partition and a gas introduction portion arranged to face an end of the partition, an inflator having a gas supply portion and arranged opposite to the end of the partition for supplying gas to the gas introduction portion, and a passage arranged between the partition and the inflator and allowing fluid communication between the chambers.

Airbag system

For improving horn switch operability, an air bag apparatus supports the side wall of the cover body and is movable back and forth on the outer periphery of the surrounding wall of the base plate . Hook protrudes from the surrounding wall and is locked onto lock receiving portion of the side wall , thereby regulating the moving range of the cover body . Bracket is mounted on the under surface of the covering portion and is positioned at each of the spokes . A movable first contact is mounted on the bracket . A fixed contact support portion is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall of the base plate to protrude therefrom or support in the shape of a pillar is provided integrally to protrude from the core metal of the spoke . A fixed second contact that is opposed to the movable contact is provided to oppose the movable contact

Air bag apparatus and steering wheel

The invention provides an air bag apparatus of a motor vehicle which can securely protect a passenger in a much close state by an inexpensive means. Since a rear end (a patch portion ( )) of a tether belt ( ) is positioned at a vertical surface (A) passing through a rear end ( ) of an instrument panel ( ) or in a front side thereof, in an initial expanding state of an air bag ( ), a rearward development of the air bag ( ) is restricted just before a passenger (M) due to a tension of the tether belt ( ) even in the case that the passenger (M) stands close to the instrument panel ( ), whereby no excessive impact is applied to the passenger (M).
