Abstract: The inflator comprises an upper stamped metal housing part (24) welded (36) to a lower stamped metal housing part (26) which includes an integral centre tie (22) containing a metal cup (42) accommodating gas generant material (70) and an igniter assembly (43) including a squib (64). Initiation of the generant material (70) causes an upper piston portion of the cup (42) to separate from the rest of the cup at a circumferential groove (52) and move upwardly uncovering openings (55) which allows hot gas to pass outwardly into a surrounding toroidal chamber (20) accommodating pressurised gas from where gas passes inwardly through further openings (58) into the centre tie (22) above the cup (42) and then out of the inflator through a frangibly sealed orifice (40). Upward movement of the piston portion is arrested by friction and inwardly directed tabs (60).

Abstract: A hybrid inflator has a curved continuous vessel wall (11) secured to the upper and lower ends of a centre tie (14) and surrounding it. The wall defines a gas chamber (26) and the tie a combustion chamber (31) . The gas chamber has an outlet vent (50) and an inlet port (40) from the combustion chamber which face in opposite directions. Both the vent and the port are sealed (44, 58) until after the ignition of pyrotechnic material in the combustion chamber. Pref the tie is cylindrical and the pyrotechnic material is boron potassium nitrate and the gas chamber is pressurised to 2000 - 4000 psi with an inert gas.
