PCT No. PCT/JP97/01763 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 3, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 3, 1998 PCT Filed May 26, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/45297 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 4, 1997An air bag apparatus for a seat of a vehicle according to the present invention has a side bracket disposed in the outer portion of a seat back in the widthwise direction of the vehicle and secured to a seat back frame and an air bag module attached to the side bracket. The seat back has a side pad portion in the outer portion in the widthwise direction of the vehicle, while the air bag module has an inflator for generating gas and an air bag body arranged to be unfolded in the forward direction by the gas generated by the inflator. The air bag module is structured to allow deformation of the side pad portion depressed by a person who sits on the seat. Therefore, even if the side pad portion of the seat back is pressed rearwards, satisfactory rearward deformation of the side bracket portion is permitted. Thus, the cushioning characteristic of the side pad portion is not inhibited and comfort sitting feeling can be obtained.
