Abstract
An air-bag type rider restraining device for a two wheel vehicle having a scooter structure. A stay is firmly fixed by welding to a front portion of a head pipe. A connection member is fastened with two nuts onto the stay. An air bag supporting frame is connected and fixed to the connection member at its lower end so as to be directed rearwardly and obliquely upwardly along a handle pipe. The air bag supporting frame positions and fixes an air bag unit so as to be directed to a chest position of a rider above a center portion of a steering handle. A ring-like frame structure as an air bag holding member is disposed round a surface of the air bag unit facing the rider wherein a forward load applied to the air bag by holding the inflated air bag from behind is received by the ring-like frame structure.
