Abstract
An airbag device is formed of an airbag, a retainer, and an inflator. The airbag is a bag-like configuration having a triangle section. The width of a front surface of the airbag and the width of mounting portions are substantially the same. The airbag is folded, but substantially not folded in the width direction, and is accommodated in the retainer. The retainer has an elongated configuration extending in the width direction of the vehicle body and thus can be installed in a long narrow space. The inflator may have an elongated and flexible body and housed in a chamber of the retainer.
