2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, an airbag device operates an inflator based on the sensing action of a collision sensor at the time of a collision of a vehicle or the like, and inflates the bag body by gas generated from the inflator to rapidly move the bag body. It is deployed to restrain an occupant who inertia moves forward during a collision. By the way, in such an airbag device, when the internal pressure of the bag body is constant, the response to the occupant becomes large due to the bag body being too stiff when restraining the occupant during a low-speed collision, and conversely, during a high-speed collision. When the occupant is restrained, a situation occurs where the compression stroke of the bag body is too large. For this reason, as shown in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 61-204855, a low-speed inflator that operates at a low-speed collision and a high-speed inflator that operates at a high-speed collision are used as inflators for inflating and expanding the bag body. 2. Description of the Related Art There is known an inflator in which a dedicated inflator is operated at the time of a low-speed collision or a high-speed collision, respectively.

[Function] If the occupant violently interferes with the subbag of the airbag body during a high-speed collision, etc., the pressure in the subbag becomes larger than the pressure in the main bag, and the check valve in the partition closes. The bag expands and reduces the diameter of the exhaust hole in the main bag. Therefore, the gas flowing out from the exhaust hole is restricted, and the bag body has hard characteristics.

On the other hand, when the occupant interferes with the subbag of the airbag body at the time of a low-speed collision or the like, the check valve of the partition wall is closed by the pressure in the subbag which is higher than the pressure in the main bag, and the adjustment bag is opened. Inflates, but the inflation of the adjustment bag is small because the pressure inside the subbag is not so high,
The degree of diameter reduction of the exhaust hole of the main bag is reduced, so that more gas flows out of the exhaust hole, and the bag body has a soft characteristic.
