Abstract

Abstract This invention relates to an air bag inflation gas generator and aims to surely retain the space between an igniter (49) and an ignition agent of a gas generating agent pack (54) and to surely caulk an end cap (42). This invention has a longitudinal cylindrical member (30) having its both ends sealed by one end plate (42) and the other end plate (32) and a plurality of gas outlets (33) formed in its outer periphery, a gas generating agent pack (54) which is accommodated in the cylindrical member, accommodates a plurality of gas generating agents in the compiled state in the axial direction of a longitudinal cylindrical pack whose both ends are sealed with one end face and the other end face and has an ignition agent disposed close to the one end face, an igniter (49) disposed at the one end plate (42) of the cylindrical member (30), and an energizing member (69) which is disposed between the other end plate (32) of the cylindrical member and the other end face of the gas generating agent pack and energizes the gas generating agent pack (54) toward the igniter side.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 144 words
An air bag inflation gas generator comprising: a longitudinal cylindrical member having its both ends sealed by one end plate and the other end plate and a plurality of gas outlets formed in its outer periphery, a gas generating agent pack which is accommodated in said cylindrical member, accommodates a plurality of gas generating agents in the compiled state in the axial direction of a longitudinal cylindrical pack whose both ends are sealed with one end face and the other end face and has an ignition agent disposed close to said one end face, an igniter disposed at the one end plate of said cylindrical member, and an energizing member which is disposed between the other end plate of said cylindrical member and the other end face of said gas generating agent pack and energizes the gas generating agent pack toward said igniter side.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 46 words
An air bag inflation gas generator according to Claim 1, wherein the other end face of said cylindrical pack is formed by a cap which is formed independent of the cylindrical pack, and the cap and an opening end of said cylindrical pack are fasten-folded double.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 163 words
An air bag inflation gas generator comprising: a longitudinal outer cylindrical bottom-closed member having an opening at one end and a plurality of gas outlets formed in the outer periphery, a circular end cap disposed in the opening of the outer cylindrical member and caulked by the wall face of said opening, a gas generating agent pack accommodated in said outer cylindrical member, and an igniter disposed in said end cap, said opening of the outer cylindrical member having an end cap placing step section having approximately L-shaped cross section formed toward the outer wall face of the outer cylindrical member from the inner wall face of said cylindrical member and a taper section having a diameter increased toward the opening end ranging to the end cap placing step section, and said end cap having a wall face vertically rising from the edge part of the bottom and a caulking face circularly formed from the periphery of the wall face toward the center.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 24 words
An air bag inflation gas generator according to any one of Claims 1 through 3, wherein said outer cylindrical member is made of aluminum.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 23 words
An air bag inflation gas generator according to any one of Claims 1 through 3, wherein said cylindrical pack is made of aluminum.
