Abstract

To provide an airbag device provided in a steering wheel, which enables an airbag module to be made smaller so as to be compatible with a steering wheel having a smaller center pad than conventional ones. The airbag device includes an airbag module containing an airbag cushion and a cylindrical inflator that supplies inflator gas to the airbag cushion, a damper unit that dampens vibrations transmitted between the airbag module and the steering wheel, a mounting member formed of a plate material and to which the inflator and the damper unit are assembled, and an elastic member that is provided between the mounting member and the steering wheel and elastically holds the airbag module to the steering wheel. The mounting member is formed with a circular through-hole part for press-fitting the inflator to secure the inflator, and a retaining part for holding the damper unit.
