PROBLEM

To provide a motorcycle airbag device that contributes to the stabilization of the deployment behavior and the deployment posture of the airbag.

RESOLUTION MEANS

The present invention is an airbag device mounted on a motorcycle having a gas generator that generates an expansion gas, where the airbag is expanded by the expansion gas, and by deploying in front of the occupant, restrains forward movement of the occupant. Furthermore, the airbag has a stepped portion that protrudes forward when deployed and is supported by a structural portion around the top of the handlebars of the motorcycle.

The present invention relates generally to the field of snowmobiles and other recreational devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to a snowmobile emergency flotation device. The device is primarily comprised of a body having at least one door and at least one inflatable air bag contained therein. The device can be secured to the front ski and/or running board of a snowmobile. The device is further comprised of at least one water sensor that automatically activates the air bag such that the air bag extends outwards from the body and inflates when the water sensor is submerged. The air bag may also be activated by a manual switch. Once inflated, the air bag prevents the snowmobile the device is attached to from sinking into a body of water.

A saddle-ride type vehicle includes a retainer that is disposed behind a head pipe; an inflator; and an airbag that is housed in the retainer, inflates by gas discharged by the inflator, and is deployed in front of an occupant. The airbag is housed in the retainer and includes a proximal end-side folded portion folded in a roll shape or a bellows shape, an intermediate-side folded portion extending from the proximal end-side folded portion and folded above the proximal end-side folded portion, and a distal end-side folded portion extending from the intermediate-side folded portion and folded in a roll or bellows shape in a cross section in a vehicle side view. The intermediate-side folded portion has a plurality of folding-back points at which folding is made along the distal end-side folded portion in a front-rear direction of the distal end-side folded.
