Abstract: For manufacturing a gas generator (1), a tubular body (10) having an opening (14) in a circumferential wall (12) and a housing part (16) having an attachment end (26) are provided. The geometry of a proximate rim (20) of the opening (14) and that of the attachment end (26) are coordinated such that a first contact region encircling the opening (14) and a second contact region on the attachment end (26), which is circumferentially closed, are formed. The housing part (16) is placed onto the tubular body (10) such that the first contact region is in contact with the second contact region. Then the body (10) and the housing part (16) are joined to each other by capacitor discharge welding.

Abstract: A gas generator has a combustion chamber containing a pyrotechnic propellant charge and a biasing unit biasing the propellant charge. A holding device is provided, which holds the biasing unit in a predetermined, fixed, compressed position and which is designed to be releasable, so as to selectively release the biasing unit, so that it arrives at a release position in which it exerts a biasing force on the propellant charge.

Abstract: An inflator has an elongate outer housing (110) which has at least one discharge opening (126) and which contains a compressed gas container (112) and an igniting unit (116) provided at a first axial end (114) of the compressed gas container (112). The igniting of said igniting unit generates a shock wave which, in a shock wave direction (S), enters the compressed gas container (112) at the first axial end thereof and which passes at least through some sections of the compressed gas container (112). The discharge opening (126) is arranged away from the first axial end of the compressed gas container (112) and is closed by a bursting membrane (128) which can be destroyed by the shock wave, wherein the bursting membrane (128) is not oriented perpendicularly to the shock wave direction (S). The compressed gas container (112) has a deflecting device (138; 338; 438) which deflects the shock wave running through the compressed gas container (112) from the shock wave direction (S) in the direction of the bursting membrane (128).

Abstract: A gas generator housing part is produced of a thin-walled tube having a wall thickness which amounts to a maximum of 10% of a tube external diameter and a minimum tensile strength which amounts to at least approximately 800 N/mm2, and a connecting piece having an external diameter which amounts to between 15% and 40% of the tube external diameter. After aligning the connecting piece radially to the tube such that an end face of the connecting piece faces an outer face of the tube, the tube and the connecting piece are joined by friction welding. A maximum welding time amounts to less than 1 second, preferably less than 0.3 second and a friction depth amounts to less than 80% of the wall thickness of the tube.
