Abstract
A side airbag device for a side collision is provided in which a first bag half body () on an occupant side and a second bag half body () on a door side are formed by sandwiching a third base fabric () between a first base fabric () on the occupant side and a second base fabric () on the door side, and gas supplied from an inflator () to the second bag half body () is supplied to the first bag half body () via a through hole () formed in an end part of the third base fabric () that is on the side distant from the inflator (), and therefore, after the second bag half body () is firstly deployed to ensure that there is the minimum necessary occupant restraint performance, the first airbag half body () is deployed, thereby sufficiently enhancing occupant restraint performance. When the second airbag half body () is deployed, due to the thickness thereof in the vehicle width direction being small, smooth deployment is possible without interfering with the occupant, and subsequently when deployment of the first airbag half body () is completed it is possible to protect the occupant effectively by ensuring that the thickness in the vehicle width direction of the entire airbag () is sufficient.
