Abstract
A passenger's seat airbag device comprises an airbag including a passenger's side wall portion and a peripheral wall portion. The passenger's side wall portion is arranged generally in the vertical direction when the airbag is completely inflated. The peripheral wall portion is formed to converge, when the airbag is completely inflated, generally into a conical shape from the outer peripheral edge of the passenger's side wall portion forward of the vehicle. The airbag is so constructed that the gas inlet port for an open face generally in the horizontal direction is arranged in front of the lower side of the peripheral wall portion by mounting the gas inlet port peripheral wall on a case. The airbag is housed in a case by folding it horizontally and vertically after preliminarily folded. In the airbag preliminarily folded, the portion near the upper edge in the passenger's side wall portion is arranged at a position to confront the gas inlet port. In the preliminarily folded airbag, moreover, the passenger's side wall portion is flatly overlaid on the lower side of the peripheral wall portion.
