- the occupant seated in the seat moves largely laterally from the shoulder to the upper side and collides with one side cushion.
- one of the side cushions moves outward under the collision load of the occupant in the height range of the upper part of the seat corresponding to the range above the shoulder of the occupant.
- the other side cushion is pulled laterally via the connecting member and moves to the occupant side. If the occupant moves toward the opposite side of the initial collision, the occupant will collide with the other side cushion.
- the connecting member is located in the height range where the occupant first collides. Therefore, a lateral load acts directly on the connecting member. Therefore, compared to an airbag in which both side cushions are connected above the occupant's head, for example, both side cushions move integrally laterally. As a result, the occupant moving to the side opposite to the initial stage of the collision shortens the moving distance until the occupant collides with the other side cushion, and the occupant can be restrained at an early stage. According to the present invention, it is possible to realize an airbag device in which the side cushions on both sides of the seat behave integrally in the event of a side collision or the like.
