An air bag gas generator, which ensures that a lead wire has a sufficient length when installing the generator in a module, is provided even when a connector in the air bag gas generator has a predetermined length. The air bag gas generator includes, in a housing having gas discharge ports and igniting unit storage opening: igniting unit activated by an impact; gas generating agent ignited by the igniting unit and burns and generates a combustion gas; and a filter unit, which cools the combustion gas and/or collects combustion residues. Also, the igniting unit includes an initiator, which is activated by an electrical signal, and an enhancer, which is ignited by the activation of the initiator and burns. The initiator is positioned and then installed in the housing.

An air bag apparatus, comprising: a moveable lid disposed in a folded state adjacent an interior upper edge of a vehicle window and adjacent an upper portion of a pillar; an air bag attached to the interior of the vehicle body, the air bag being arranged to push against and open the lid as the air bag deploys, the air bag including a lower edge, an upper edge, and an attachment portion disposed at the upper edge for attachment to the vehicle body, the air bag being folded so that the lower edge approaches the upper edge and the attachment portion is attached to the vehicle body so that the air bag is housed behind the lid, a portion of a lower end of the lid being retained by a portion of the interior trim on the pillar, and a portion of the air bag adjacent the lower end of the lid providing a focused and intensified force against the lid upon deployment, further comprising a restraining member, disposed at an upper position of the pillar portion, for preventing the air bag at the time of deployment from engaging pillar, wherein the restraining member includes a substantially L-shaped section including a vertical wall portion and a horizontal wall portion extending from a lower end of the vertical wall portion toward the vehicle's inner side, the vertical wall portion supporting an outer side of the folded air bag, the horizontal wall portion supports a lower end side of the folded air bag, and the portion of the air bag providing the focused and intensified force against the lid is formed by the being folded so that a portion that is adjacent the vertical wall portion is expanded at the beginning of deployment. 5. An air bag apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the air bag includes an upstream side and a downstream side, and the portion of the air bag providing the focused and intensified force against the lid is formed so that the upstream side is disposed at the vertical wall portion, and the downstream side is disposed adjacent the lid. 6. An air bag apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the air bag is folded in a bellows fashion in which a fold is provided substantially at an intermediate position in a vertical direction from a flat unfolded state of the airbag so that the lower edge of the air bag is folded back toward the vehicle's interior, and it is folded substantially in the vertical direction from the lower edge of the air bag folded in half toward the upper edge, and the portion of the air bag providing the focused and intensified force against the lid is formed so that the upstream side is disposed at the upper edge of the air bag in a non-deployed, flat unfolded state, and the downstream side is disposed at the lower edge of the air bag.
