Abstract: An airbag gas generator has a housing (2) within which a solid gas generating composition (6) is located. The container has an opening (11) through which a gas formed during fuel combustion exits the container. A gas distribution cap (13) is fitted to an outlet end (10) of the housing (2), the cap (13) having a projecting lip (17) at a forward end (16) thereof. The housing (2) has a corresponding recess (12) in the outlet end (10) for accepting the lip (17) therein. The cap (13) further has a plurality of longitudinal slots (15) through which the gas is distributed, the slots (15) defining flexible wall segments (19) which deform during insertion of the cap (13) into the outlet end (10) prior to engagement of the lip (17) with recess (12) for locking the cap (13) to the housing (2). Utilizing the present invention, threaded or welded joints are avoided and a light weight, low cost assembly is achieved.

Abstract: A gas generator (1) for a passive airbag restraint has a housing (1) including a combustion chamber (5) and a gas passage end, the chamber containing a solid gas generating fuel (6). A diffuser plate having a plurality of orifices (11) is located in the gas passage to direct a gas generated by the combustion of the solid fuel (6) to an airbag. The diffuser plate is shaped preferably by bending or folding, to have a greater surface area than the cross-sectional area of the gas passage. The greater surface area allows for an increased number of orifices (11) to maximize port area to increase gas flow therethrough.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for retaining pressure vessel closures (14, 15) on a container is described which utilizes alignment slots (26) disposed about the container and closure, with a filament (28) wound about the container and closure for retaining the closure to the container. The fiber, which includes a curable polymer, assures that the closure is firmly retained on the pressure vessel. Utilizing a fiber for retaining the closure to the container avoids welding, impact fasteners or the use of threaded fasteners and thus significantly reduces the weight and complexity of the pressure vessel.
