Abstract
An airbelt to be guided by a through-anchor member is formed of a hollow elongated cover, and a bag disposed in the cover to be inflatable by a gas introduced therein. The cover has an inner-peripheral panel on one side to contact the through-anchor member, and an outer-peripheral panel on the other side thereof. At least one of the inner-peripheral panel and the outer-peripheral panel changes a length thereof in the longitudinal direction of the airbelt when the airbelt is guided by and curved along the through-anchor member. Thus, the airbelt can be smoothly guided by the through-anchor or a buckle.
