Abstract
An airbag device for side collisions is arranged in a back portion of a seat. The airbag device is equipped with an airbag which is mounted and fixed on its rear edge side on a seat frame. The airbag includes a lower chamber for an upstream portion of an inflating gas, and an upper chamber arranged over the lower chamber. The airbag is folded by folding the upper chamber side inwards to the lower chamber or towards the outside of a vehicle, and by bringing the front edge side toward the rear edge side. Moreover, the airbag is folded backwards or forwards at its upper side portion. The airbag in this state is mounted and fixed on the seat frame so that it is arranged in the back portion of the seat. Even if the arranged position or the like of the airbag with respect to the back portion of the seat is changed, according to the side collision airbag device of the invention, the extended area of the airbag before the completion of inflation can be easily arranged in position, not by changing the airbag but by folding the upper side of the airbag backwards or forwards.
