PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To quickly inflate and deploy an airbag along an inner wall of a vehicle by suppressing variations of deploying directions generated in the airbag which is inflated and deployed from an upper side of the vehicle. SOLUTION: A bellows 2J is formed by bellows-folding an upper edge side of the airbag 2 which is deployed first. A lower edge side arranged continuously with the bellows 2J is rolled toward the outside G of the vehicle to form a rolled part 2R. The rolled part 2R is formed wider than the bellows 2J in the vehicle width direction, both sides thereof are folded upward, the bellows 2J is bent generally in half, the bellows 2J is held from the lower side and stored in the rolled part 2R. When the airbag 2 is deployed, the bellows 2J is deployed to the lower side of the vehicle since deployment is restricted by the rolled parts 2R on both sides, the rolled parts 2R are pushed out toward a trim 50 by a deploying force, the trim 50 is opened, and the rolled parts 2R are jumped out and deployed in the vehicle.
