Each tether (30) extends continuously in the lateral direction. The left edge (30L) and the right edge (30R) of each tether (30) are curved inward. Air-flow spaces (V) are formed between the left edge of each tether (30) and the left side of the airbag (18) and between the right edge (30R) of each tether (30) and the right side of the airbag (18).
