Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air bag for side collision provided at a front with a vent hole, which consists a small number of part items. SOLUTION: A foundation cloth 36 cut approximately in a belt-like shape is folded double through a central fold line 37 and the folded folds are overlapped with each other. By sewing an outer periphery except the fold line 37, an air bag 6 is formed and two vent holes 38 are formed on the fold line 37 of the foundation cloth 36. In comparison with a substance to form an air bag by sewing together a plurality of the foundation cloths, the number of parts is reduced and a sewing work amount is suppressed to a minimum. Besides, since a sewn part is set to a position deviated from the front of the air bag 6, the vent holes 38 are formed in the front of the air bag 6 without interference with the sewn part.

2. Description of the Related Art In such an occupant protection apparatus, an airbag is constructed by integrally sewing two left and right main base cloths and one side base cloth connecting outer peripheral edges of both main base cloths. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 8-2250 discloses a ventilated airbag in which vent holes are formed in side fabrics corresponding to the front surface.
No. 54, publicly known. Thus, by forming the vent hole in the front surface of the airbag, it is possible to prevent the vent hole from being closed by the door or the occupant when the airbag is deployed.

However, when the airbag is formed by sewing three base cloths as in the above-mentioned conventional one, the number of parts and the number of manufacturing steps increase, so that the airbag is formed from one base cloth. It is possible to do. That is, as shown in FIG. 7A, one base cloth 01 cut into a substantially band shape is folded in two at a center folding line 02, and the outer peripheral portion excluding the folding line 02 is sewn to sew. The airbag 03 shown in (b) can be configured. In this case, since the vent hole 04 cannot be formed so as to overlap the sewing portion 05, the position of the vent hole 04 deviates left and right from the front surface of the airbag 03. There is a problem that 04 is closed by a door or an occupant.
