Abstract: Methods, devices and/or features which in addition to circumferential thrust neutrality additionally facilitate, permit or provide for thrust vector tuning of the inflation gas discharge from an inflator device. An end diffuser includes a diffuser wall defining a diffuser chamber for initially accepting inflation gas from a gas-providing portion of the inflator device. The diffuser wall includes a cylindrical portion having a plurality of inflation gas discharge openings disposed in a circumferential thrust neutral gas discharge array for discharging inflation gas from the diffuser chamber and an end wall portion forming a closed end to the diffuser. The end wall portion includes a protrusion of selected shape and dimensions extending therefrom into the diffuser chamber to create an inflation gas flow altering annular ring within the diffuser chamber to selectively thrust vector tune the inflator device.

Abstract: An inflator device for a passive restraint device, such as an airbag, and methods of inflating an airbag. In certain aspects, an initiator device is provided in a housing. The initiator device includes at least one chemical hydride compound. Upon initiator actuation, an enhanced shock wave generated by the initiator device opens a temporary closure between the inflator housing and the downstream airbag to permit gases to flow into the airbag. Released hydrogen reacts with oxygen from a stored pressurized gas, and combustion products of the initiator device flow into the airbag for rapid inflation.
