Abstract
An airbag is formed of an airbag body having a front surface facing a passenger and a rear surface with a gas inlet opening, a flow adjustment member disposed in the airbag body on a side of the rear surface and having an outlet port for discharging gas toward an outer periphery of the airbag body, and a tether connecting the front surface and the rear surface of the airbag body. The tether is arranged relative to the flow adjustment member so as to face the outlet port in a state where the airbag body is inflated to adjust a gas flow ejected from the outlet port. Thus, the airbag can be inflated evenly as a whole.
