Abstract
A side airbag deviceincludes: a main bag, is built in a seat of a vehicle, and inflates and deploys toward a side of an occupant and a vehicle front side; an inner bagwhich is formed in a bag shape independent of the main bag, and inflates and deploys on a vehicle rear side inside the main bag. An inflatorprovided inside the inner bagto supply gas; and a tension memberwhich spans between the vehicle front side and the vehicle rear side inside the inner bagand is tensioned as the inner baginflates and deploys. The length of the inner bagin the front-back direction of the vehicle at inflation is restricted by the tension memberto a predetermined range, and the inner bag therefore inflates in a vehicle width direction and pushes and spreads the vehicle rear side of the main bagfrom the inside of the main bagto both sides in the vehicle width direction.
