Abstract

In an airbag having a generally quadrilateral pyramidal body fallen sideways, cloths 21 and 22 for side face portions having a generally triangular shape constituting side face portions 20 of the pyramidal body, are extended from both side edge portions of an upper face portion 16 and a lower face portion 18 of the pyramidal body, opposed side edge portions 21a and 21a of the respective cloths 21 and 22 for the side face portions are sewed together, and both side edge portions 14a of a frontal portion 14 and respective side edge portions 21b and 22b of the cloths 21 and 22 for side face portions are sewed together, both the seam portions 24 in a lateral direction and the seam portions 26 in a vertical direction constituting a T-like shape fallen sideways formed at side face portions 20, are formed in a circular arc shape bent outwardly. Thereby, balance of extensions of the seam portions and other cloth portions of the airbag is achieved by which the airbag having a predetermined extended shape can easily be fabricated and further, stresses applied on intersections 28 of the seam portions 24 and the seam portions 26 can be alleviated.
