Abstract
An air bag, when inflated, is in the form of a substantially rectangular bag having a front edge, two side edges, and a rear edge. The air bag is folded in such a manner that the front edge approaches the rear edge and the two side edges are each folded inwardly at predetermined intervals, forming first creases which lie perpendicular to the side edge portions, and a pair of opposing walls located between the front and rear edges which are each folded inwardly at predetermined intervals, forming second creases which are positioned perpendicular to the side edges and are continuous with the first creases.
