A gas generator includes an igniter, a cup-shaped member, and a fixing member. The cup-shaped member accommodating an enhancer agent bursts or melts at the time of activation. The fixing member fixing a filter does not burst and melt even at the time of activation. Ra and Ha satisfy a condition of Ra/Ha 1.00 where Ra represents an inner diameter of a sidewall portion of the cup-shaped member and Ha represents a distance between a top wall portion of the cup-shaped member and the igniter. The sidewall portion includes a first region surrounded by a partition wall portion of the fixing member and a second region not surrounded by the partition wall portion. The partition wall portion has an end portion arranged closer to a top plate portion than the igniter. A gas generating agent is arranged to face the top wall portion, the second region, and the partition wall portion.

A gas generator includes a housing, a combustion chamber accommodating therein a gas generating agent burned by an ignition device, a plurality of gas discharge ports provided to a wall surface that defines the combustion chamber, and communicating an inside and an outside of the combustion chamber, and a plurality of closing members respectively closing the plurality of gas discharge ports. Each of the plurality of closing members includes a covering region covering a corresponding gas discharge port of the plurality of gas discharge ports, and a joining region being joined to the wall surface of the housing, and formed adjacent to and surrounding the covering region. The joining region of each of the plurality of closing members is joined to the wall surface at a width within a range from 1 mm to 5 mm, inclusive, from a peripheral edge of the corresponding gas discharge port, and without interfering with another joining region.

A cylindrical inflator has an elongated tubular housing, a hollow tubular filter and a plurality of gas generant pellets. The elongated tubular housing has a first end sealed by an igniter assembly and an opposite second end sealed by a diffuser assembly. The diffuser assembly has a first set of discharge openings sealed by frangible foil, and a combustion chamber interposed and extending between the igniter assembly and the foil sealed diffuser assembly. The hollow tubular filter is positioned inside the combustion chamber and has an enlarged first end compressed against an inner wall of the elongated tubular housing and an elongated narrow portion extending from the enlarged first end of the hollow tubular filter toward the second end of the tubular housing.

A tablet, a gas generator and a gas generating device are provided, wherein the tablet comprise a tablet body, the tablet body comprises opposite first and second sides, the tablet body is provided with a vent hole running from the first side to the second side, the first side is provided with a first positioning structure, and the second side is provided with a second positioning structure that cooperates with the first positioning structure. By the smart design of the tablet structure, the present disclosure can effectively simplify the structure of the gas generator and reduce the manufacturing cost.

The present disclosure relates to a gas generator comprising a housing, an igniter and a pyrotechnic charge via which gas for filling a gasbag can be provided, wherein the gas generator is free from stored pressurized gas in the idle state, characterized in that each possible diffusion path out of the internal chamber of the housing is sealed relative to the environment of the gas generator by means of a weld seam. The present disclosure also relates to a method for leak testing a pyrotechnic gas generator of this type, wherein, before the gas generator is welded against diffusion, a test amount of helium is introduced into the housing and, in a subsequent leak testing step, a measurement is carried out to determine whether helium is passing out of the housing.

The invention relates to a gas generator (10), especially for a vehicle safety system, comprising a sleeve (60) positioned inside the gas generator (10) which sleeve has first flow orifices (68) and encloses an ignition chamber (52) including first propellant (50), wherein a combustion chamber (56) filled with a second propellant (54) is connected to the outside of the sleeve (60), the combustion chamber being surrounded by a diffusor (70) located inside the gas generator (10) and having second flow orifices (78), and comprising a baffle plate (12) which has third flow orifices (14) and surrounds the diffusor (70), wherein the sleeve (60), the diffusor (70) and the baffle plate (12) are adhesively bonded to each other.
