Abstract
A folding method of an airbag having a left airbag portion and a right airbag portion is disclosed. In one form, the method includes the steps of: a primary folding step for forming a primary folded body in which said airbag is flattened along a top-bottom direction and along a right-left direction by folding said airbag in a manner that decreases a thickness of said left airbag portion and said right airbag portion along a front-back direction and at least partially separates a left surface of said left airbag portion and a right surface of said right airbag portion along the right-left direction; and a secondary folding step for forming a final folded body by folding said primary folded body in a manner that decreases its width along the top-bottom direction and along the right-left direction.
