An inflatable belt includes an envelope-like or elongated belt body, which is folded in a long band-like configuration, and a cover enclosing the belt body (20). The belt body (20) is made of a single piece of rectangular base fabric (21). The rectangular base fabric (21) is folded about a longitudinal return line (R). The folded halves are then sewn about an outer periphery (22) of an inflatable area so as to have a envelope-like or elongated configuration. Thus, the inflatable belt has a uniform thickness and feels better to the vehicle occupant when the inflatable belt is in contact with the vehicle occupant. Also, the inflatable belt has a shorter stitching length, thereby reducing cost, improving productivity, and reducing or preventing gas leakage. <IMAGE> |
