Abstract
An airbag for an airbag device includes a primary cloth and a secondary cloth constrainingly attached by way of least one tether strip. Primary cloth, secondary cloth, and reinforcement cloth are layered together. The edges of the primary cut cloth and the secondary cut cloth, and the reinforcement cloth except for a cut edge, are bonded together. By using the opening that results from the absence of bonding at the edge of the reinforcement cloth, an object comprised of the primary and the secondary cloths and the reinforcement cloth can be turned inside out by passing the primary and secondary cloths through the opening at the cut edge of the reinforcement cloth.
