Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To absorb collision energy effectively and protect particularly an occupant seated on a rear seat of a vehicle by making an air bag provided at a roof member of a vehicle, expand in space between a thigh part and an upper body part of the occupant seated on the seat of the vehicle when impact force of the specified value or more is applied to the vehicle. SOLUTION: An air bag module 14 is composed of at least an inflator member 16 and an air bag 12 expanded with gas blown out of the inflator member 16. The inflator member 16 is fitted into a reaction can 18 fastened to a roof member 6 of a vehicle in such a way that its blowoff direction is the direction of an occupant seated on a rear sheet. The air bag body 12 is disposed to expand in space between a thigh part M1 and an upper body part M2 of the occupant. The upper body part M2 of the occupant is therefore inclined forward, and collision energy is absorbed until collision load is converged, so that the occupant can be effectively protected without receiving the reaction of the air bag body 12 by a body structural member.
