<p>An air bag apparatus for a seat (1) of a vehicle according to the present invention has a side bracket (5) disposed in the outer portion of a seat back (3) in the widthwise direction of the vehicle and secured to a seat back frame (4) and an air bag module (M) attached to the side bracket (5). The seat back (3) has a side pad portion (9) in the outer portion in the widthwise direction of the vehicle, while the air bag module (M) has an inflator (23) for generating gas and an air bag body (25) arranged to be unfolded in the forward direction by the gas generated by the inflator (23). The air bag module (M) is structured to allow deformation of the side pad portion (9) depressed by a person who sits on the seat (1). Therefore, even if the side pad portion (9) of the seat back (3) is pressed rearwards, satisfactory rearward deformation of the side bracket portion (5) is permitted. Thus, the cushioning characteristic of the side pad portion (9) is not inhibited and comfort sitting feeling can be obtained.</p> |
