AIRBAG APPARATUS FOR PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION

摘要

An airbag apparatus for pedestrian protection 18 including an airbag body 22 disposed along a vertical direction is disposed in an upper portion 16 A of each of right and left front pillars 16. The expansion of the airbag body 22 toward the outer side of the vehicle is restrained to a predetermined amount by a cloth 22 C connecting an attachment portion 22 A of the airbag body 22 with a sewn portion 22 B when the airbag body 22 is expanded. Thus, the airbag body 22 is expanded along the outer peripheral portion. In addition, a portion of the airbag body 22 expanded toward approximately the outer side in the lateral direction contacts a curved portion 30 F expanded toward the inner side in the lateral direction, which is in a deployment portion 30 A of a garnish panel 30 . Thus, the airbag body 22 is expanded toward approximately the inner side in the lateral direction to a large extent.
