A lightweight air bag apparatus which facilitates the positioning between an instrument panel and a lid, and to provide an air bag apparatus in which the lid is not attached to a retainer in substance. The air bag apparatus includes a retainer, an air bag which is folded and stored in the retainer, a lid which covers the open surface of the retainer, and an inflator (gas generator) for expanding the air bag. The external surfaces of the retainer are surrounded by belts, and both ends of the belts are fixed to the leg portions and with rivets, bolts, or other fittings. The peripheral portion around an opening formed in the instrument panel is clamped between the edge portion of the lid and the extending portions. The belts are not connected to the retainer.
