Abstract
An airbag inflated by an inflator is formed of a front panel disposed at a position adjacent to an occupant, and a rear panel disposed at a position opposite to the occupant. Rims of the front panel and the rear panel are joined together. A joint member joins a center area of the front panel to the rear panel, so that a periphery of the airbag projects to the occupant more than the center area for a time of 10 to 60 msec after the airbag starts to inflate. With the airbag in a fully inflated condition, the periphery of the front panel projects toward the occupant by 10 to 100 mm more than the center.
