In a head-protecting airbag apparatus where an airbag body inflated in a curtain configuration is mounted in a folded state along a roof side rail across at least a center pillar, the airbag body includes an upper portion folded in a bellows, and a lower portion subjected to one of turning-back performed toward an occupant compartment inner side and rolling-up performed towards the occupant compartment inner side. Accordingly, even when there is a vehicle occupant compartment inner side protrusion such as a slip joint in a vehicle, the airbag body is inflated and expanded so as to cover the vehicle occupant compartment inner side protrusion from the above or ride on the same. As a result, the lower portion of the airbag body is hard to be caught up by the vehicle occupant compartment inner side protrusion, thereby improving a expanding performance of the airbag body.

A controllable hydraulic bearing in accordance with claim 8, wherein said cover layers are arranged on both sides of said carrier layer and are provided with an electric connection each arranged on the outside of the hydraulic bearing. 10. A controllable hydraulic bearing in accordance with claim 9, wherein a distance between mutually opposite conductive cover layers of said overflow channel in an area of the helices of the channel is between 0.5 mm and 2.0 mm. 11. A controllable hydraulic bearing in accordance with claim 10, wherein said distance between mutually opposite conductive cover layers of said overflow channel in an area of the helices is substantially equal to 1 mm. 12. A controllable hydraulic bearing in accordance with claim 9, wherein said laminate strip, forming the walls of said overflow channel, is accommodated on each narrow side in an insulating plate, wherein grooves corresponding to the helical shape of said overflow channel and which are engaged by respective upper and lower narrow sides of the laminate strip are recessed in said insulating plates. 13. A controllable hydraulic bearing, comprising: a housing containing an electrorheological fluid, said housing having a working chamber for said electrorheological fluid, said working chamber being partially defined by a elastomer wall and an insulating plate attached to said elastomer wall and partially defined by a bottom plate, and said housing having an equalizing chamber for said electrorheological fluid located partially surrounding said working chamber, said equalizing chamber being partially defined by a diaphragm; a spiral element formed of a tape shaped carrier layer spiraling for more than 1 spiral revolution along a length of said tape shaped carrier layer, said carrier layer spiral having a gap between successive layers of said spiral, said gap along with said insulating plate and said bottom plate forming a channel, said channel being fully closed in axial directions of the bearing, and receiving said electrorheological fluid for providing fluid connection between a radially interior region of said spiral element partially defining said working chamber and a radially exterior region of said spiral element partially defining said equalizing chamber, edges of said tape shaped carrier layer of said spiral element engaging spiral grooves in both said insulating plate and said bottom plate; and two electrodes disposed on opposite faces of said tape shaped carrier layer of said spiral element, said two electrodes being electrically insulated from each other by said carrier layer, said two electrodes at least partially forming opposing surfaces of said channel, each of said two electrodes having electric
