<p>An air bag (3) in an air bag unit in which a fitting base portion (3a) is fitted to an air bag support member by a fixing member (9) and which inflates on receiving a gas ejected from an inflactor actuated in an emergency. A protective member (3c) is disposed in such a manner as to cover at least the tip of the fixing member (9). Accordingly, even when the air bag (3) is folded, the tip of the fixing member (9) does not directly strike the air bag (3) and damage to the air bag (3) can be prevented without fail. The turn-back portion (3b) of the protective member (3c) is bonded to the opposite side to the turn-back portion (3d) with respect to the fixing member (9) of the fitting base portion (3a). Accordingly, the number of components can be reduced. Furthermore, since an annular metal (8) is also covered with the fitting base portion (3a), the tensile strength applied to this portion (3a) at the time of inflation of the air bag can be borne by this metal (8). Consequently, the breakdown strength and fitting strength of the air bag (3) can be improved. <IMAGE></p> |
