Abstract
A knee protection airbag apparatus is provided with a case, an airbag received in the case, and an inflator received in the case. The inflator includes a gas discharging port at one end side and a connection port portion at the other end side. The connection port portion is exposed through a connector opening of the case. A protruding piece that prevents the inflator from falling-out is formed on a peripheral edge of the connector opening. When the inflator is attached to the case, the inflator is guided by a guide portion to a location where falling-out of the inflator is prevented by the protruding piece.
