Abstract
Provided is an airbag and an airbag apparatus that are easy to manufacture and in which the amount of gas to be released from the inside of the airbag when a passenger in proximity is restrained can be increased. An airbag includes a first panel member provided on an instrument-panel side, and a second panel member provided on a passenger side. The first panel member includes a deploying part that is deployable into a tapered cylindrical shape whose diameter increases toward the distal side thereof. The second panel member has on the proximal side thereof a fitting port whose diameter is smaller than the maximum diameter of the deploying part. In a state where the airbag has been inflated, the fitting port is anchored to the deploying part. If a passenger in proximity is restrained, gas is releasable from a clearance.
