Abstract
An airbag device is provided with a retainer, an airbag mounted on the retainer, an airbag-mounting ring to mount the airbag to the retainer, an inflator to inflate the airbag, a shape-maintaining component to maintain a folded shape of the airbag, and a module cover covering the folded airbag. The shape-maintaining component is fixed to bolts. A central portion of the shape-maintaining component is attached to a central portion of a front panel of the airbag with a seam thread. When the inflator is mounted on the retainer, since a space is provided in the retainer, a front-end side of the inflator is smoothly inserted.
