Abstract
A lateral partition divides the interior of an airbag main body into an upper inflation chamber including a first section and a lower inflation chamber including a second section. The upper inflation chamber is located above the second section of the lower inflation chamber. An upper restricting portion is provided in a bridging manner in the first section. The upper restricting portion has a front-rear length that is shorter than a circumferential length in a front-rear direction of the first section. The upper restricting portion is tensioned in the front-rear direction when the upper inflation chamber is inflated. The upper restricting portion restricts an inflated dimension in the front-rear direction of the upper inflation chamber such that an inflated dimension of the first section in a lateral direction of the automobile is greater than an inflated dimension of the lower inflation chamber in the lateral direction.
