Abstract
A garnish for housing an air bag in a folded state is mounted in such a manner as to enable the housed air bag to move from a housing position of the air bag near a frame member to a position spaced apart therefrom so as to be inflatable outwards, so that the air bag can expand toward the inside of a vehicle from a portion between the moved garnish and the frame member at the time of inflation of the air bag.
