Abstract
An airbag apparatus includes an airbag, an airbag housing portion for housing the airbag in a folded-back condition, an airbag cover for covering the airbag opening, a gas-supplying portion for supplying gas to the airbag, an airbag-holding member formed of a film sheet, and a thin thickness portion formed in the film sheet of the airbag-holding member. The airbag-holding member holds a folded-back shape of the airbag while wrapping around an external surface of the airbag in the folded-back condition. The airbag-holding member is ruptured at the thin thickness portion by the gas supplied from the gas supplying portion when a motor vehicle accident occurs.
