Abstract
A container having an inflator is installed to an instrument panel in front of a seat. A rectangular sub bag is mounted to an opening of the container and has a partition panel inside thereof. The partition panel is attached to the sub bag to form first gas communicating paths between the sub bag and the partition panel. A cylindrical main bag has a base portion inserted inside the sub bag and connected to both the sub bag and the partition panel. The main bag has second gas communicating paths communicating to the sub bag disposed between the connection with the sub bag and the connection with the partition panel. Gases spouted from the inflator inflate the sub bag through the first gas communicating paths and then inflate the main bag through the second communicating paths.
