Abstract

A cushion of an airbag device includes an inner inflating section convexly inflating toward the rear of a vehicle and restraining the head of an occupant from the front of the vehicle, protrusions provided to the sides of the inner inflating section in a vehicle width direction and capable of inflating so as to protrude further toward the rear of the vehicle than the inner inflating section, and outer inflating sections provided between the inner inflating section and the protrusions and temporarily convexly inflating toward the rear of the vehicle within a smaller range than the expansion range of the inner inflating section and the protrusions. The outer inflating sections are squashed by the inner inflating section and the protrusions and, as a result, the protrusions are in a posture of being pulled toward a side of the inner inflating section.
