<p>A method of folding up an air bag (1), comprising the steps of inflating the air bag (1) by expanding the bag on a plane and filling air thereinto, softly holding the air bag (1) by radially disposed upper and lower blades (26) and (25), moving a plurality of movable blocks (24) toward the center of the air bag so as to collect the upper and lower panels (12) and (11) of the air bag (1) to the center part of the air bag so that the upper and lower panels (12) and (11) can be folded up in waveform in the state of being separated from each other, winding up the portions of the air bag remaining in the form of ears around the portions folded up in waveform, and pressing the center part of the air bag (1) from the upper side thereof, whereby the folding-up operation of the air bag (1) can be facilitated, gases can be fed smoothly from a receiving port (15) to a peripheral part (14), and thus the air bag (1) can be expanded rapidly.</p> |
