The first, second, third and fourth walls define a first space which accommodates an air bag, and the first, second, third, fourth and fifth walls define a second space which accommodates an inflator. A first flow control wall is continuously formed on the surface of the first wall, and a second flow control wall is continuously formed on the surface of the second wall. The first and second flow control walls control a flow of a gas from the inflator.
