Abstract
A method of folding up an air bag comprises the steps of: folding up the horizontally-spread air bag crosswise so as to decrease its width crosswise; extending left and right regions on the center side of the air bag in the outer diagonally-upward direction; folding up both left and right end sides of the air bag in the outer diagonally-downward position of the left and right regions; setting the left and right regions close to the center of the air bag so that the left and right regions are extended upward; and moving both folded end sides to the center of the air bag and outside the left and right regions.
