A side airbag apparatus may include: a seat on which a passenger is seated; an inflator mounted on the seat, and configured to jet gas; a cushion inflated by the gas jetted from the inflator, and deployed toward the passenger so as to move the passenger to an inboard side of the vehicle; and a controller configured to operate the inflator to deploy the cushion before the collision of the vehicle, according to driving information of the vehicle, based on a signal of a sensor mounted on the vehicle.

In a shielding state, a partition extends from an upper portion to a lower portion of a cabin in such a manner as to partition a space between a pair of opposing vehicle seats. In the case where the partition is in the shielding state during a collision of a vehicle, the partition is inflated in a vehicle longitudinal direction by gas supplied from an inflator that is actuated when a collision detection sensor detects the collision of the vehicle. That is, since the partition is inflated in the space between the pair of the vehicle seats without interfering with the vehicle seats, the partition can reliably restrain an occupant who receives a collision load and is thereby displaced in the vehicle longitudinal direction from the vehicle seat. In this way, it is possible to easily secure a private space in the cabin and to improve occupant restraint performance.

[Problem] To provide an airbag device capable of controlling flow of gas discharged from an inflator.

[Resolution Means] The airbag device is an airbag device that expands and deploys in a vehicle passenger compartment of a vehicle and restrains a passenger sitting in a first seat from a side, including: a cushion 41 provided with a horizontal portion 41d that deploys in a horizontal direction of the vehicle in an expanded and deployed state and a protruding portion 41e that deploys in an upward direction of the vehicle from a center portion of the horizontal portion 41d; a diffuser that is secured inside the cushion 41, that is open in the horizontal direction of the vehicle, closed in a downward direction of the vehicle, and partially or entirely closed in a direction toward the protruding portion; and an inflator 42 that is secured to the first seat, provided inside the diffuser, and that discharges gas for expansion and deployment.

It is provided an airbag arrangement for a vehicle-occupant-restraining system, comprising an airbag, wherein at least one airbag layer delimits an inflatable volume of the airbag; and at least one fastening tab, which is connected to the airbag layer and is intended for fastening the airbag on a vehicle component. The entire fastening tab is formed from a different material to that of the airbag layer.
