More Information
Summary:The airbag inflator comprises a housing 12 having one or more gas outlet ports 20 communicating with an interior intermediate chamber 232 between divider walls 224,226 defining chambers 236,238 each containing a pressurized combustible gaseous mixture. Initiators 234 are actuatable to ignite the respective gaseous mixtures. The walls 224,226 rupture, permitting a flow of the pressurized gas through the ports 20, upon ignition of the gaseous mixtures in response to actuation of the initiators 234. Integral flaps 50 forcibly separate from one wall 226 cooperate with the ports 20 to provide a variety of flow rates of the pressurised gas. The initiators 234 are actuated simultaneously or successively.
