A side air bag expands near a window at a time of collision of a vehicle
to restrain an occupant from moving in a lateral direction. The air bag
has an expansion duration .[.protracted.]. .Iadd.which is extended
.Iaddend.to constrain the occupant during overturning of the vehicle.
Stowability for stowing the air bag in a folded state in a side structure
of the vehicle, such as a pillar and a roof side rail portion, is
enhanced in that two woven fabrics are connected along an outer
peripheral portion.Iadd., .Iaddend. to form a bag portion.Iadd., by
.Iaddend.a textile structure woven using a common yarn .[.include in.].

sides of the air bag.Iaddend.. A whole of the bag portion is coated and
sealed by an air .[.non-permeable.]. .Iadd.impermeable .Iaddend.coating
material to improve air tightness. A mounting portion for mounting the
air bag in the side structure, such as a pillar or a roof side rail, is
integrally formed by extending the woven fabrics or the common-yarn
textile structure portion outward from the outer peripheral connection
portion, thereby improving stowability.
