Patent attributes
An airbag apparatus includes an airbag, a retainer, a bag ring to sandwich a periphery of an opening of the airbag between the retainer and the bag ring, and a gas-generating device inserted into the airbag for discharging a gas for development of the airbag. The bag ring includes an airbag-holding portion to sandwich the periphery of the base end portion of the airbag, an engaging portion provided at an end portion of the airbag-holding portion adjacent to the stitching portion and engaging the stitching portion when the base cloth panel is displaced from the bag ring, and a gas flow-regulating portion provided on an inner side of the airbag-holding portion. The flow-regulating portion has an inclined portion relative to a gas blowing direction for protecting the stitching portion from the gas ejecting from the gas-generating device.
