An air bag apparatus to be mounted in a vehicle in order to protect an on-board passenger by unfolding and inflating a bag body when the bag body is activated. The air bag apparatus is equipped with an inflator, the bag body which is mounted in folded-up condition in such a way that the gas emitted from the inflator can flow into the bag body and equipped with gas vent holes, and a cover body for covering the bag body in the folded-up condition. Each gas vent hole is fitted with a gas-vent quantity regulating valve capable of decreasing the open quantity of the gas-vent hole during the time the bag body is inflating.

A vibration-proof structure for axle beam of a motor vehicle has an axle beam composed of a long cylindrical body of a letter U-shaped section opening downwards, which is disposed in the width direction of the motor vehicle. Axles are provided at both ends of the long cylindrical body, a stabilizer bar is disposed in the center of an interior of the long cylindrical body so as to connect the both ends of the long cylindrical body, and at least one vibration-proof rubber body is interposed between an inner wall of the axle beam and the stabilizer bar from the underside thereof in elastic contact therewith. The vibration-proof rubber body has an engaging member for engaging the vibration-proof rubber body with the axle beam or the stabilizer bar. The vibration-proof rubber body can be easily installed within the axle beam after the assembling of the axle beam and the stabilizer bar. The vibration-proof rubber body inserted between the axle beam and the stabilizer bar can be certainly engaged with the axle beam or the stabilizer bar by means of the engaging member. Accordingly, the vibration-proof rubber body is prevented from dropping due to vibration or the like.
