  "textContent": "The object is to provide a vehicle occupant protection device of which the structure is simple and which can be easily assembled, and allow extremely smooth inflation of its airbag. In order to resolve this object, a part of a cover (8) covering an opening of a retainer (2) is defined as a door (10) which opens when an airbag (4) is inflated. The door (10) is provided with a pair of side wall portions (16) on its rear surface to extend vertically along the left- and right-side edges of the door (10). Each side wall portion (16) has a stopper (18) for limiting the opening angle of the door (10) during the inflation of the airbag (4). When the airbag (4) is inflated and the door (10) thus opens, the side wall portions (16) are brought to the front side of the cover (8) together with the door (10) to project like walls, thereby limiting the inflation of the airbag (4) in the lateral direction. As the door (10) is opened by a predetermined angle, the stoppers (18) come in contact with the rear surface of the cover (8), thereby stopping the door (10) from further opening.",
