Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An airbag apparatus or the like in which the form of breaking of a tear line can be made more stable, and the deployment positions of an airbag cover and a bag portion can be made more stable is provided. An airbag apparatus includes a bag portion formed of a base cloth panel in a bag shape and deployed and inflated in front of a driver by being supplied with gas for deployment, an inflator that generates the gas for deployment, a retaining container in which the bag portion not in use is housed and at the top of which an opening is provided, and an airbag cover that substantially covers the opening of the retaining container when not in use and a front portion of which rises to uncover the opening when the bag portion is deployed and inflated. The airbag apparatus is provided in front of a seat of a saddle-ride type vehicle. The airbag cover has a tear line that is provided in the vicinity of the front end and extends substantially along the vehicle width direction and that is broken by input from the bag portion when the bag portion is deployed and inflated, and an opening is provided in the middle of the tear line in the vehicle width direction.
