Abstract
In a driver's airbag device, an inflator and a folded airbag are attached to a retainer, and covered by a module cover. The airbag is firstly folded in an elongated form in a lateral direction. In this case, a lower half is folded in a form of a roll, and an upper half is folded in a form of bellows. Then, the left and right half portions are folded in a form of a roll or bellows. Thus, without increasing an output of the inflator, the airbag folded as described above can be deployed to enter into a space between a lower side of a steering wheel and a driver.
