Abstract
A passenger-seat airbag device for a vehicle includes an instrument panel for the vehicle, a windshield extending upwardly from the instrument panel, and an airbag installed in an upper surface of the instrument panel to be inflated between the windshield and an occupant. The airbag includes a first surface facing the windshield, a second surface facing the occupant, and an internal member connecting the first and second surfaces. When the airbag is fully inflated, a top of the first surface contacts the windshield, a rest of the first surface is separated from the windshield, and a part of the first surface under the top is pulled toward the second surface by the internal member so that the airbag has a concave depression extending toward the second surface.
