Abstract
Hangers of the curtain airbag are used to hang a bag body from a structural member of a vehicle. The hangers restrict the deployment direction of the bag body, and receive reaction force produced when the bag body is deployed downwards. The hanger is mounted to an ear of the bag body, and includes a strip-shaped flat plate portion and a sandwiching plate portion formed integrally with the corresponding flat plate portion. The ears of the bag body are sandwiched between inner plates and outer plates of the corresponding sandwiching plate portions. By the flat plate portion of each hanger, the bag body deploys smoothly along an inner surface of the window glass.
