| DE1004046891 A UPAB: 20060510 NOVELTY - In a gas generator comprising a housing with at least one combusion chamber for receiving pyrotechnic composition (A) and at least one ignition unit ('squib') operatively linked with (A), the ignition unit has a separate housing insertable into the gas generator housing. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for the ignition unit as above. USE - The gas generators are especially used in the automobile industry (e.g. for releasing air-bags or tightening safely belts in the case of collisions), but may also be used e.g. for releasing gas for protecting objects, in producing fire extinguishing aerosols or in propulsion modules of spacecraft (e.g. rockets). ADVANTAGE - The modular construction allows easy, rapid and inexpensive final assembly of the gas generator especially during mass production. The generator housing and ignition element housing can be kept separate (e.g. during transport) before final assembly (e.g. in an automobile finishing plant), so that risks of premature activation of the gas generator are eliminated. The ignition unit can be produced separately as a sealed unit, possibly on an automated production line. | |||||||||
