Abstract
An airbag apparatus is obtained in which a pad cover can be securely supported onto a base member and the manufacturing work is also facilitated. Hook-shaped engagement protrusions or tongue shaped insertion portions are formed interchangeably on a side wall portion of a bag holder which fixes an inflator and a bag. Correspondingly, engagement openings or support walls are formed interchangeably on the mounting portion of the pad cover which unfolds when the vehicle decelerates rapidly. When both parts are fit together, the engagement protrusions are engaged with the engagement openings and the insertion portions are inserted between the support walls and the mounting portions. As a result, when the pad cover unfolds, the pad cover does not come off from the bag holder and the manufacturing work is facilitated because the support walls and the mounting portions which hold the insertion portions are formed of a resin.
