Abstract
An airbag device comprises a folded and housed airbag including: a vehicle front-facing wall portion having a gas inlet through which inflating gas can enter; and a passenger-facing wall portion directly opposite the gas inlet port. In the airbag, there is arranged a flow regulating cloth. This flow regulating cloth regulates the inflow of the inflating gas so that the unnecessary protrusion of the passenger-facing wall portion toward the passenger is prevented. Moreover, the flow regulating cloth breaks at a portion made to be easily torn, before the completion of inflation of the airbag. In other words, the airbag is released from the regulation of the inflow of the inflating gas before the completion of inflation.
