An airbag of a sunroof for a vehicle is proposed. The airbag includes: a roof panel for a vehicle with the sunroof; an airbag module positioned at a lower portion of the roof panel and securely coupled to the roof panel; and a head lining positioned while being spaced downward from the roof panel, and fixed to a lower portion of the airbag module.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An airbag of a sunroof fora vehicle, the airbag comprising:
a roof panel for a vehicle in which the sunroof is installed;
an airbag module positioned at a lower portion of the roof panel and securely coupled to the roof panel; and
a head lining positioned while being spaced downward from the roof panel, and fixed to a lower portion of the airbag module.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The airbag of claim 1, wherein the airbag module comprises:
an airbag plate coupled to a first side of the roof panel such that a gap is defined between the airbag plate and the roof panel; and
an airbag cushion positioned in the gap between the airbag plate and the roof panel, the airbag cushion being configured to be deployed toward a second side of the roof panel, thereby covering the sunroof during deployment.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The airbag of claim 2, wherein the airbag module further comprises:
an inflator positioned at a side, which is opposite to a deployment direction of the airbag cushion, in the gap between the airbag plate and the sunroof, the inflator being configured to inject gas into the airbag cushion to deploy the airbag cushion.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The airbag of claim 2, wherein the airbag module further comprises:
a bracket extending upward from the airbag plate and coupled to both the roof panel and the airbag plate.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The airbag of claim 2, wherein the airbag module further comprises:
a mounting portion mounted on a lower side of the airbag plate,
wherein the head lining comprises:
a coupling portion connected to an upper surface of the head lining and coupled to the mounting portion at a position corresponding to the mounting portion.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The airbag of claim 5, wherein the coupling portion of the head lining is formed in a deformable form of a clip, and when the coupling portion is inserted into the mounting portion, the coupling portion is locked to the mounting portion and the coupling portion is prevented from being separated from the mounting portion in a reverse direction.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The airbag of claim 1, wherein an end of the head lining is bent upward and covers an outer surface of the airbag module.

### Claim 8 (depends on 2)

The airbag of claim 2, wherein the head lining is configured to be deformed such that an end thereof moves downward due to deployment pressure generated when the airbag cushion is deployed, and the airbag cushion is configured to be deployed into a space between the end of the head lining and the roof panel.
