A covering member is attached to a case body, on which an actuator detachably holding the other end portion of a tether having one end portion connected to an airbag is mounted, and covers the actuator. The covering member includes an opposing portion that opposes at least a part of the actuator in an attachment direction D to the case body. The covering member includes a side surface portion that is formed to extend from the opposing portion in the attachment direction D and is locked and held by being pushed into the case body in the attachment direction D.

Covering member and airbag apparatus

An airbag device includes an airbag main body formed in a bag shape, and a case body in which the airbag main body folded is stored. The airbag main body includes a first folded part including an opening for gas introduction provided in a base end portion of the first folded part, and multiple second folded parts connected to a distal end portion of the first folded part. The airbag main body folded is stored in the case body such that a connecting part among the first folded part and the second folded parts faces a door part of the case body.

Airbag device

An airbag according to the present invention has: an airbag main body that is provided with a gas introduction opening; and an inner cloth portion that is arranged to cover the gas introduction opening in the airbag main body. The inner cloth portion has a first and a second opening end parts, and is fixed to a peripheral edge part of the gas introduction opening of the airbag main body while a position of the inner cloth portion is superimposed with the gas introduction opening of the airbag main body. In this manner, an airbag is caused to inflate and expand more speedily and widely in a direction which is orthogonal to an occupant's side direction, and an occupant can be buffered and supported in a stable manner so as to have a wide area from a front side irrespective of whatsoever posture seated by the occupant may be.

Airbag and airbag device provided with the airbag

The present invention provides a steering wheel. Hook portions configured to engagingly fit an airbag module is directly supported by a boss portion independent of spoke portions. In addition, a tip end part's side of each of hook claws in each of the hook portions is arranged so as to be oriented to the inside of a steering wheel. With such a construction, even in the case where the airbag module is pulled in such a direction as to be spaced from a steering wheel at the time of inflation and expansion of an airbag, an engaged state between each of the hook claws and an engaged portion that is provided at the airbag module is obtained as engagement at a deeper position, and the engaged state can be established to be rigid in structure.
