First Claim
1. A far-side airbag apparatus configured to be fixed to a seat frame of a backrest of a vehicle seat of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- an airbag;
an inflation fluid generator, which discharges inflation fluid for deploying and inflating the airbag toward a center of a passenger compartment; and
a tension belt having a first end and a second end, whereinthe airbag is divided into a plurality of inflation chambers, which include a first inflation chamber and a second inflation chamber,the inflation fluid generator is accommodated in the first inflation chamber,the first end of the tension belt is connected to a surface of the airbag at a position that corresponds to a seam, which divides the first inflation chamber and the second inflation chamber from each other and is curved to protrude toward a front of a vehicle,the second end of the tension belt is connected to the seat frame, andthe tension belt includes a portion, which is located below a foremost part of the seam in a front-rear direction of the vehicle.

Abstract
A far-side airbag apparatus includes an airbag and an inflator that discharges inflation gas for deploying and inflating the airbag. The airbag is fixed to the seat frame of the backrest of a vehicle seat and is deployed and inflated on the side corresponding to the center of the passenger compartment. The airbag is divided into first to third inflation chambers, and the first inflation chamber accommodates the inflator. The far-side airbag apparatus includes a tension belt having a first end and a second end. The first end of the tension belt is connected to the surface of the airbag at a position that corresponds to a seam, which divides the first inflation chamber and the second inflation chamber from each other, and the second end is connected to the seat frame.
