Abstract:
In a knee airbag device mounted on a steering column, an opening that provides a workspace when a wire harness connector that extends from the steering column is connected to a wiring connector provided at one end portion of an inflator is formed in a side wall of a lower cover (or column cover) opposite the connector of the inflator. By using the opening, the connector of the wire harness may be easily connected to the connector of the inflator, which is mounted transversely with respect to the axial direction of the steering column. The opening is closed by a lid.
