Abstract: An airbag device mounted on a steering wheel of a vehicle having a rim with a shape in which a distance from the center of rotation to an upper edge part is shorter than a distance to the left and right edge parts, including: a gas generator secured to the steering wheel and for generating expansion gas; and an airbag cushion that expands and deploys toward an occupant side by the expansion gas. The airbag cushion has a vent hole for exhausting the expansion gas. Furthermore, when an occupant comes into contact with the expanded and deployed airbag cushion, the airbag cushion deforms toward the front of the vehicle, and when a portion of an upper region of the airbag cushion advances more forward than the rim of the steering wheel, the vent hole is provided at a position that is blocked by contacting an automobile interior component.

Abstract: This invention relates to a side airbag device stored inside a vehicle seat and fixed to a side frame. The device includes an airbag that expands and deploys to restrict an occupant; an inflator that supplies expansion gas to the airbag; and a bracket connected to the side frame that holds the airbag and the inflator. The airbag includes a prepush chamber having an inflator stored therein and mainly deploys inside of the side frame; and a main chamber connected to the prepush chamber and mainly deploys forward of the side frame. The bracket includes a first surface oriented in the forward direction of the vehicle; and a second surface oriented to the inside of the seat in the width direction of the vehicle. When the airbag is stored by being folded and/or rolled, at least the main chamber is disposed on the first surface of the bracket.
