Abstract
An airbag of an airbag apparatus includes an airbag main body capable of expanding in a manner such that the airbag main body covers a steering wheel in front of a driver seated in a driver-side seat, and an upper extending portion that covers a vehicle roof pillar by extending upward from above a left or right side of the airbag main body. The airbag apparatus is designed so as to maintain the airbag shape and position even when the steering wheel is rotated. In the event of an oblique collision, the airbag is capable of preventing a head region of a driver from colliding with the pillar, yet without excessively increasing the required airbag volume.
