Abstract
An airbag is partitioned into the first chamber disposed at a center thereof, the second chamber surrounding the first chamber, and a gas-receiving chamber by means of an inner panel and a partition panel. The first chamber is located inside the inner panel above the partition chamber. The gas-receiving chamber is located inside the inner panel between the partition chamber and an inflator. When the inflator is actuated, gas from the inflator first flows into the gas-receiving chamber, and from this gas-receiving room, it flows into the first and second chambers substantially through communication ports, thereby inflating the first and second chambers substantially at the same time.
