  • Publication number: 20250033589
    Abstract: An occupant protection device includes an airbag mounted on a seat of a vehicle and attached to a belt body of a seat belt in a folded state. The airbag is inflated so as to allow an inflation gas discharged from an inflator to flow into the airbag and protect an occupant seated on the seat while protruding forward. An airbag cover is formed in an elongated shape that can cover an outer periphery of part of the belt body and a folding completion body corresponding to a state where the airbag is folded, and is closed such that at least the belt body is allowed to be inserted therethrough at both ends in the longitudinal direction.
