FAR-SIDE ARIBAG APPARATUS

A far-side airbag apparatus (100) includes an airbag (110) and an inflator (121) that discharges inflation gas for deploying and inflating the airbag (110). The airbag (110) is fixed to the seat frame (130) of the backrest (13) of a vehicle seat (10) and is deployed and inflated on the side corresponding to the center of the passenger compartment. The far-side airbag apparatus (100) is configured such that, when the inflator (121) discharges inflation gas, the forward deployment and inflation of the airbag (110) is promoted more than the upward deployment and inflation of the airbag (110).
