<p>An arrangement and construction of a crew protective device for an automobile are capable of preventing pillar garnish from scattering when an air bag received in a front pillar portion expands. Received in a front pillar portion (20) is an air bag (16) in a space formed by a front pillar body (38) and a pillar garnish (40). When the air bag (16) expands, the pillar garnish (40) is pushed by an expansion pressure of the air bag (16) to form an opening between the front pillar body (38) and the pillar garnish (40), which opening permits expansion of the air bag (16), and through which the air bag (16) expands into a room. The air bag (16) is formed with a non-expansion portion, and the pillar garnish (40) is formed with a hinge portion (46), whereby an expansion pressure acting on the pillar garnish (40) upon expansion of the air bag (16) is small and the pillar garnish (40) is easily opened through the hinge portion (46).</p> |
