摘要:
In an airbag apparatus configured such that a case is connected to a lid by bringing a hook provided in the case into engagement with a hook hole formed on the lid, and the hook relatively moves toward a cabin within the hook hole when the lid is retracted, with a simplified structure, the airbag apparatus can improve energy absorbing characteristics during the retraction of the lid. The hook 18 provided on the case 10 for connection of the lid 20 is engaged with the hook hole 25 of the lid 20. The hook hole 25 is an elongated hole lengthwise extending in the vertical direction, and is provided with a parting part 26 formed in an intermediate portion in its extending direction for dividing the hook hole 25 into the upper side and the lower side. The hook 18 is engaged with part of the hook hole 25 on the lower side from the parting part 26. Along with the retraction of the lid 20, the hook 18 relatively moves upward within the hook hole 25 while shearing off the parting part 26.
