41 Pyrotechnic stored gas inflator US10943458 2004-09-17 US20050110253A1 2005-05-26 Paresh Khandhadia; Jeffery Blackburn
An inflator (10) for use in an inflatable vehicle occupant protection system. The inflator (10) includes a pressure vessel (12) having an opening (60) formed therein. A quantity of relatively unreactive pressurized gas is stored in the pressure vessel (12). A quantity of a gas generant composition (14) is positioned in an interior of the pressure vessel (12) and in fluid communication with the pressurized gas. An igniter (18) is positioned proximate the gas generant (14) for initiating combustion of the gas generant. A rupturable, fluid-tight seal (30) is positioned to seal the opening (60) in the pressure vessel (12) for maintaining the pressurized gas within the pressure vessel (12) prior to activation of the igniter (18). Activation of the igniter (18) results in combustion of the gas generant (14). Pressure from the combustion gases, in combination with the pressure of the gases stored under pressure in vessel (12), cause the burst disk (30) to rupture, providing an inflation gas to an associated vehicle airbag, for example. Also provided is a method for manufacturing an inflator for use in an inflatable vehicle occupant protection system.
42 Hybrid gas generator for a side airbag applied to motor vehicle safety US10208746 2002-08-01 US06874813B2 2005-04-05 Christian Perotto; Franck Lebaudy; Bernard Martin; François A Rigault
The present invention relates to a hybrid gas generator (1), used for motor vehicle safety to inflate an airbag, comprising a body (2) containing an ignition device (16) and a reservoir (3) connected to the body and containing a pressurized gas (31), together with initially closed-off discharge orifices (10). The body possesses a first pyrotechnic charge (14) capable of generating a quantity of gas which, coupled to the volume of gas (31) contained in the reservoir, allows the airbag to be inflated in a time period of less than 50 milliseconds, and a second pyrotechnic charge (13) capable of generating, after combustion of the first pyrotechnic charge, a quantity of gas sufficient to keep the airbag inflated for a time period of several seconds.

This generator (1) makes it possible to initiate deployment of the airbag using cold gas (10) as soon as it starts to operate.
46 Hybrid airbag inflator US685231 1996-07-23 US6106008A 2000-08-22 Robert D. Blackshire; Milan L. Storch; Clyde L. Jones
An improved hybrid airbag inflator comprises a container for storing a compressed gas having a rupturable wall defining an exit opening. A pyrotechnic gas generator has an output directed into the container for adding heat and mass flow to the compressed gas in the container. A single initiator ruptures the rupturable wall and initiates the gas generator, preferably via a pyrotechnic delay train which initiates combustion of the gas generator after a predetermined delay, to provide for delayed onset of the high pressure gas generator input. The initiator is preferably an electric detonator that produces a self forging fragment to rupture the rupturable wall and initiate the pyrotechnic delay. The pyrotechnic generator may also have a second output directed into a manifold leading from the container to the airbag and entering the manifold downstream from the inlet nozzles that restrict the flow of compressed gas into the manifold.

The initiator provides an electrically actuated igniter which ignites an adjacently stored non-pyrotechnic fluid combustible material which may comprise a mixture of a fluid fuel and a fluid oxidizer, a fluid monopropellant or a fluid exothermically decomposable material. A sub-assembly of the non-pyrotechnic initiator with a fuel containment chamber and inflators which use the non-pyrotechnic initiator are also disclosed.

49 Hybrid gas generator for safety systems in road vehicles US568999 1995-12-07 US5601309A 1997-02-11 Richard Bender; Uwe Dolling; Christian Herget; Harald Seidel; Bernhard Vetter
A hybrid gas generator for vehicle safety, systems, in particular airbag inflating and seat belt tensioning systems or pyrotechnical isolating switches for disconnecting the vehicle electrical system from the vehicle battery in the event of an impact accident, is described, whereby a moving piston is provided to destroy the bursting diaphragm which closes off the compressed gas container. This piston is moved towards the bursting diaphragm by igniting an ignition system whereby according to this invention the piston has a flange-shaped projection which is located against a shoulder on the internal surface of a sleeve facing the piston and is designed such that when the ignition system is ignited the flange-shaped projection shears off. Advantageously, the operating pressure in the combustion chamber of the hybrid gas generator according to this invention can thus be determined by the area of the shearing surface on the flange-shaped projection.

51 Generator of cool working gases US3640083D 1970-03-27 US3640083A 1972-02-08 GALBRAITH LYLE D; THORN WILLIAM F
Hot pressure gases are generated by burning a solid fuel grain. A portion of the gases are used to pressure feed a liquid from its storage chamber into a mixing zone. The remainder of the hot gases are directed into the mixing zone for mixing with the liquid. The hot gases provide the heat of vaporization for, and cause the vaporization of, the liquid. The gas generator comprises a one-piece housing of composite welded construction, defining liquid storage, breech and mixing chambers. A control cartridge containing burst discs, flow control orifices and seals is inserted into the housing through the outlet passageway. A solid fuel cartridge is inserted into the breech through an opening at the opposite end of the housing.

A fireball generator device comprising a steel cylindrical main housing having first and second threaded end caps. A shotgun shell is encased in a barrel member and locked in place with a screw-on housing. When the shell is fired, the gases expelled by the shell push a knife blade forward into a gas container positioned within the main housing. The moving knife blade ruptures the gas container and the gas therein escapes and the powder gas from the shotgun shell ignites the gas escaping from the container creating various visual effects, such as a fireball.
