Abstract
A head protective bag for vehicle passengers. The bag includes a lower section of which is tightly expanded when the bag is inflated. The protective bag includes an cabin side sheet and a window sheet. The sheets are overlapped and then coupled together along a line to form a main airway and small cells between the sheets. A front portion of the bag is located along an A-pillar of the vehicle in a folded state. An intermediate portion and a rear portion of the bag are located along a roof side rail and a C-pillar in a folded state. If the bag is maximally inflated without being installed in the vehicle, the dimension L from the through hole of a lowermost projection of the front section of the bag to the through hole of a lowermost projection of the rear section of the bag is smaller than the linear distance S from a position at which the lowermost front projection is secured to the A-pillar to a position at which the lowermost rear projection is secured to the C-pillar.
