[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. An air bag apparatus comprising:an inflator having a proximal end and a distal end, said inflator having a gas generating chamber at said proximal end and a first port at said distal end for discharging gas when a shock detecting sensor detects a shock more than a predetermined value;an L-shaped air bag body having a head supporting portion of a passenger and a chest supporting portion thereof, said air bag body operative for being unfolded and expanded by said gas;a tubular holder covering said inflator, said holder having a wall part totally enclosing more than half of said inflator from said distal end for guiding gas discharged through said first port toward said proximal end, said holder having a discharging part defining a second port at said proximal end for discharging guided gas to a vicinity of a bottom of said chest supporting portion of said air bag body; andsaid holder having a guide portion which is disposed at said second port and opposed to said first port of said inflator.
