    摘要: Apparatus (610) for inflating a device such as a vehicle airbag includes (i) a cylindrical combustion chamber (656) containing an oxidant and a fuel chamber (654) accommodating fuel in a fluid state (e.g. liquid, gas or finely divided solid) and (ii) a second chamber (614) containing pressurized gas and possibly a low pressure sensor (626). Actuation of an initiator (636) in the fuel ruptures the fuel chamber (654) permitting the fuel to mix with the oxidant and burn in the combustion chamber. Resulting pressure in the combustion chamber causes rupture of a weakened combustion chamber wall portion or a rupture disc (664) therein, which may be domed, releasing hot gas into the second chamber (614) from where it escapes with the pressurized gas via outlet openings (668a, 668c) into a diffuser assembly (640). Each outlet opening may be covered by a separate rupturable disc (670a, 670c) or a single rupture disc may cover all the outlet openings.

    摘要: A vehicle air bag system including an inflator (10) having a first chamber (14) containing pressurized gas and a second chamber (30) containing an initiator (82), an oxidant and a fluid fuel in a container (61). First chamber exit openings (46, 48) are closed by a first rupturable disc (50) which can be ruptured by a projectile (88) from an opening device (45b). A second rupture disc (72) covers an opening leading from the second chamber (30) to the first chamber (14). The fuel may be gaseous, liquid or powdered. The system also includes one or more sensors for sensing: ambient temperature, occupant presence, seat belt usage or deceleration. Depending on output of the sensors, inflator actuation either results in delivery of gas from the first chamber (14) only or delivery of combustion products from the second chamber (30) in addition to gas from the first chamber (14).

    摘要: A hybrid inflator (10) for an inflatable restraint system has a center frame (12) and two tubular end caps (14,16) forming an elongated housing (11) defining a chamber (28) storing pressurized inert gas. Units (18,20) for heating and delivering the stored gas are mounted in the center frame and positioned to deliver inflation gasses centrally with respect to the elongated housing. In a two unit embodiment, one unit (18) includes a squib (42) and a pyrotechnic gas generant (54), and the other unit (20) defines an outlet orifice (22) and baffle plate (60). In another two unit embodiment, the second unit includes an essentially non gas-producing heating composition which, when activated, heats and expands the pressurized gas. In a third embodiment, a unit includes heating material and ignition means and defines the outlet orifice. The centre frame (12) is extruded metal stock with two opposing flat surfaces adapted to mount one or more units.
