A side air bag device is described which is disposed in a space between a vehicle body and a back seat and for which rigidity of attachment to a vehicle body member is improved. The side air bag device provided between a vehicle body and a back seat includes: a base member including a base storage configured to store an air bag and an inflator and a base attachment portion attached to the vehicle body; and a retainer member configured to hold the base storage from a vehicle back side. The retainer member extends from a portion holding the base storage while being bent along the shape of the vehicle body. The retainer member is attached to the vehicle body together with the base attachment portion while being overlapped with the base attachment portion.

A vehicle seat includes a seat cushion frame, a slide mechanism, a drive source, and a transmission mechanism configured to receive a driving force from the drive source and to cause the seat cushion frame to move in a front-rear direction. The slide mechanism includes a guide member extending in the front-rear direction and a slide member movable along the guide member relative to the guide member; the seat cushion frame is fixed to one of the guide member and the slide member, and another of the guide member and the slide member is fixed to a floor of a vehicle; and the drive source is fixed to the floor of the vehicle.

A side airbag apparatus can suppress the deformation of the periphery of a storage case by reducing a gas pressure applied to the storage case for storing an airbag when the airbag expands. A side airbag apparatus installed between a vehicle body and a rear seat includes a base storage portion that stores an airbag and an inflator. The upper and lower ends of an opening formed on the front side of the vehicle body in the base storage portion are provided with gas pressure relief portions for relieving the gas pressure generated when the airbag expands and deploys toward the vehicle body front side. The gas pressure relief portions are formed to make their widths narrower sequentially from the upper and lower ends of the opening toward the outside of the opening.
