Abstract
An airbag device is formed of an airbag, a holding device for holding the airbag, a gas supply device for supplying gas into the airbag to inflate the same, and an adjusting device connected to the holding device. Upon inflation of the airbag, the adjusting device is actuated to move the holding device for adjusting a location of the airbag. When a vehicle collision speed is less than a predetermined speed, or when a weight of an occupant in the seat is less than a predetermined value, upon inflation of the airbag, the holding device is moved backward. Thus, the distal end position of the airbag is adjusted in accordance with the vehicle collision speed and the weight of the occupant.
