<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To smoothly deploy an airbag without being influenced by the folded shape of the airbag, or without allowing a bulk housed condition of the airbag, or without setting a top end of a pillar garnish downward. <P>SOLUTION: An airbag holder 60 is provided at a proximate position on a vehicle upper side of a top end 36A of a center pillar garnish 36 along a forward and backward direction of a vehicle, and is composed of a soft resin material such as TPO (thermopolyolefin). Also, a compartment inner wall 60B of the airbag holder 60 is deformed in a compartment inner direction with a corner part 60E as a starting point by a deploying force of an airbag 20, so as to cover the top end 36A of the center pillar garnish 36. Therefore, the airbag 20 does not contact or is not hooked with the top end 36A of the center pillar garnish 36. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
