AIRBAG HOLDING COVER AND VEHICLE AIRBAG DEVICE

PROBLEM: An objective is to provide an airbag retaining cover that can improve safety during expansion and deployment of an airbag cushion.RESOLUTION MEANS: The retaining cover 130 encapsulates the cushion 104 which is stowed in a bulk stowed form in front of the regular seating position of the vehicle. The retaining cover 130 comprises a side surface retaining part 132 wound around a side surface 136b of the cushion 104 in stowed form, a cloth-like part 134 provided in a manner traversing vertically across the upper surface 136a of the cushion 104 in stowed form, and a weak part 148 provided at a prescribed location on the cloth-like part 134 that divides the cloth-like part 134 to an upper piece 135a and lower piece 135b due to the expansion pressure of the cushion 104. If the cushion 104 expands and deploys with the occupant 138 in close proximity, the upper piece 135a of the cloth-like part 134 is sandwiched in between the cushion 104 and the occupant 150, such that the upper piece 135a restrains the upward deployment of the cushion 104.
