An airbag device attached to a vehicle body frame member and covered by a garnish is configured such that when a bag body is deployed, the airbag device pushes out the garnish to create a gap between the garnish and the vehicle body frame member to allow the bag body to be inflated out of the gap. The clip for securing the garnish to the vehicle body frame member includes a first member configured to be fixed to the vehicle body frame member, a second member configured to be fixed to the garnish, and a connecting member for keeping the first member and the second member connected when the airbag is deployed. The connecting member is tiltable with respect to the first member and the second member so that the movable range of the clip can be maximized without using flexible material for the connecting member.

An airbag assembly for mounting above an occupant in a vehicle includes an airbag housing and an airbag cushion. The airbag cushion is connected to the housing and is deployable from an uninflated state to an inflated state. The airbag cushion includes a forward portion and a rearward portion. The forward portion is positioned closer to the occupant than the rearward portion when the airbag cushion is in the inflated state. The forward portion is also separated from the rearward portion by a void. The void configured to cause a head of the occupant to rotate forward relative to a torso of the occupant when the occupant contacts the airbag cushion.

An airbag device includes a curtain airbag deployed to a vehicle width direction outer side of an occupant seated in a vehicle seat; a front airbag provided at a front side of the vehicle seat, which is deployed to a vehicle front side of the occupant; an airbag housing, provided at the front side of the vehicle seat, in which the front airbag is housed before inflating; and an airbag door that covers the airbag housing from a cabin side and that is displaced toward a cabin side, in a case in which the front airbag inflates such that the cabin side of the airbag housing is opened. The airbag door includes plural door portions and the airbag device is provided with a limiting member that restricts tilting of a door portion that tilts about a hinge portion disposed at a vehicle width direction inner side of the airbag housing.

An airbag device for a passenger seat is disclosed. The airbag includes a main section whose rear plane forms a front-collision arresting plane, and a sub section which is disposed on a side of the main section and includes a protruding region protruding farther rearward than the main section. The side plane of the protruding region forms an oblique-collision arresting plane. Between the front-collision- and oblique-collision arresting planes is an arresting recess denting forward. The airbag further internally includes a front-rear tether jointed to the front-collision arresting plane, and a recess-pulling tether jointed to the bottom of the arresting recess. The front-rear tether and recess-pulling tethers share a mounting base by which the tethers are mounted on an airbag case, and bifurcate from the mounting base. The front-rear tether extends from a rear edge of the mounting base, and the recess-pulling tether extends from an edge of the mounting base adjoining the front-rear tether.

A vehicle airbag apparatus includes an airbag, a front lid, and a tether. The airbag is configured to be disposed on a back side of an instrument panel, and configured to be expanded and developed between the instrument panel and a windshield glass so as to be disposed on a front side in a vehicle and in front of a vehicle occupant. The front lid is configured to be disposed on the instrument panel, and configured to be ruptured and opened by the expanded and developed airbag so as to stand on the front side in the vehicle and at a front end of the airbag. The tether is disposed on an outer part of the airbag and couples the front lid and the airbag, and configured to be elongated in a front-rear direction of the vehicle in a state where the airbag is expanded and developed.
