[Function] The left and right sides of the expanded airbag are folded to form a belt-like body, and only the rear surface cloth of the expanded airbag is alternately folded to the inside, and then the rear surface cloth continuing to the above-mentioned folded portion. Further, since the surface cloths are overlapped and folded on the front side, the above-mentioned belt-like body is formed into a belt-like shape extending in the front-rear direction with respect to the blowing port. Therefore, the airbag deploys in the two vertical directions at the initial stage of deployment, and slightly later, the central portion deploys, so that the airbag smoothly deploys into a predetermined shape. Also, since the left and right sides of the airbag in the unfolded state are folded in parallel with the surface cloth facing the blowing port, folding is facilitated, mechanical folding is possible, and bulkiness after folding is reduced. .
