Side air bag apparatus of vehicle

摘要

An air bag main body (10) is arranged along an inner side of an occupant room extending from a pillar to a side roof rail in its folded state and capable of being deployed downward. An inflator (11) ejects gas for inflating the air bag main body (10) so as to deploy the air bag main body downward. An upper end portion (11a) of the inflator (11) is preferably positioned somewhat lower than the head position of a normal occupant. A gas communication pipe (12) for introducing the gas from the inflator (11) to the air bag main body (10) is capable of being deformed owing to an excessive input from its external portion.
