Abstract
An airbag apparatus is provided by which, when an airbag collides with an occupant, the occupant can receive a reaction force from the airbag. An airbag apparatus (10A to 10B) inflates between two seats arranged in a vehicle width direction (20L, 20R, 21L, 21R) to protect an occupant (P). The airbag apparatus (10A to 10B) includes an inflator (12) and a folded airbag (11). When gas is jetted from the inflator (12) at a side collision, the airbag (11) is allowed to inflate and is abutted to a vehicle interior (35) to thereby suppress the move of the airbag (11) when the airbag (11) collides with the body of the occupant (P).
