Abstract
To design an air bag in such a manner that a joint between synthetic resin sheets composing the air bag is directed to an instrument panel when the air bag is deployed, an air bag 1 is formed by joining together a circular front panel 2 and a circular rear panel 3 having an opening 4 through which an inflator is inserted in the center of the rear panel 3. The front and rear panels 2 and 3 are each made of synthetic resin sheet. The thickness of the front panel 2 is greater than that of the rear panel 3 so that a joint 5 is directed to an instrument panel when the air bag is deployed.
