- (a) a main body of said air cushion bag;
(b) a circular air outlet port formd in one part of said air cushion bag;
(c) a gas-permeable cloth joined to said bag around the periphery of said circular air outlet port, said gas-permeable cloth being stretchable in one direction and being relatively difficult to stretch in a direction at right angles to the stretch direction; and
(d) a dart formed on said gas-permeable cloth which extends through the center of said circular air outlet port, folding lines of said dart being substantially at right angles to the direction in which said cloth is relatively difficult to stretch,so that said gas-permeable cloth is able to readily conform to the deformation in said air outlet port owing to the stretch of said gas-permeable cloth itself and to said dart.

Abstract
An improved safety air cushion bag which is constructed with a main body of the air cushion bag, an air outlet port formed in one part of the air cushion bag main body, and a gas-permeable cloth covering the air outlet port, the gas-permeable cover cloth being provided with at least one dart, or being so designed as to provide thereon with a bugle-out portion to prevent the cover cloth from becoming torn out, or separated from the air cushion bag main body at the joined portion between them due to excessive load to be imparted thereto at the time of collision accident of the automotive vehicles, thereby protecting vehicle riders or passengers from unexpected danger of the traffic accident.
