Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicular knee airbag device capable of stabilizing the behavior of an airbag when it is deployed. SOLUTION: Since a demarcation part 10 is formed at a part corresponding to a steering column cover of an airbag 9, gas G is introduced in gas flow passages 14 on both sides of the demarcation part 10, and introduced into the demarcation part 10 from a gas inlet 13 in the returning direction to the ejection direction of gas G. Thus, the inflation timing of the demarcation part 10 is delayed, the influence of the interference of the airbag 9 with the steering column cover is reduced, and the airbag 9 instantaneously gets into a space between a knee part and an instrument panel in a stable deploying behavior to reliably protect the knee part.
