Abstract
The present invention provides an airbag that is capable of stabilizing a flow of a gas introduced into a lower air chamber to thereby stabilize an expansion behavior, the air bag being capable of stably constraining an occupant. Along a bulkhead configured to partition an airbag main body portion into an upper air chamber and the lower air chamber, a patch is mounted into the lower air chamber so that a rear end part is opposed to a distributing portion. The patch is expanded by means of a gas introduced into the lower air chamber in an expanded state of an inflating portion of the airbag main body portion to thereby form a cover portion along an interior face of the lower air chamber and a redundant portion configured to slacken with respect to the interior face of the lower air chamber.
