Abstract
A buffering air-bag means adapted to inflate a normally folded air-bag on the occasion of a collision by the generation of gas by a box-like gas generating means having gas ejecting openings formed in a substantially flat end, wherein a gas deflecting plate is provided to traverse the front of the gas ejecting openings in a manner to control the composite reaction force exerted by the gas jets ejected from the gas generating means so that the force properly balances by itself to relieve a steering column from compression.
