Abstract
A far-side airbag apparatus includes an airbag and an inflator that discharges inflation gas for deploying and inflating the airbag. The airbag is fixed to the seat frame of the backrest of a vehicle seat and is deployed and inflated on the side corresponding to the center of the passenger compartment. The far-side airbag apparatus is configured such that, when the inflator discharges inflation gas, the forward deployment and inflation of the airbag is promoted more than the upward deployment and inflation of the airbag.
