Abstract
An inflator is connected to an air-bag proper for inflating the same upon electric energization thereof. The inflator and the air-bag proper are so connected and designed as to make a rapid pressure reduction in the air-bag proper just after a rapid increase of the pressure, due to the force of inertia of the expanding air-bag proper. A control device is used for controlling, after the rapid increase of the pressure in the air-bag proper, the pressure in a manner to reduce a shock which is produced when a passenger collides against the inflated air-bag proper.
