    摘要: An inflator (22) for providing inflation fluid ( ) to inflate an inflatable vehicle occupant protection device (14) includes a container (30) storing the inflation fluid under pressure. The container (30) has an outlet passage (80) through which the inflation fluid flows from the container. A rupturable closure member (92) fixed to the container (30) blocks flow of inflation fluid through the passage (80). A support (100) for the rupturable closure member (92) defines a chamber (110) adjacent the rupturable closure member (92). The rupturable closure member (92) has a first portion (122) deformed into the chamber (110) by the pressure of the inflation fluid and a second ring-shaped portion (124) encircling the first portion (122). An initiator (98) ruptures the closure member (92) when actuated by shearing the first portion (122) from the second portion (124).

    摘要: The invention relates to an air bag arrangement in vehicle, having a gas bag which, as the result of a triggering by a sensor, can be inflated with gas by a gas generator and, during the inflating, can be advanced into an interior of the vehicle, the gas generator having at least two driving stages with propellant charges which can be ignited in a time-related succession and of which the first propellant charge is ignited by a triggering by a sensor and the second propellant charge being ignited facultatively when the gas bag moves beyond a defined advancing position. In addition, the invention relates to a triggering process for an air bag arrangement, wherein, as a function of the driving situation, a first stage of at least one gas generator or at least a first gas generator is triggered, the gas generated in this manner is guided into at least one gas bag for its partial filling, at least one possible hindering of the expansion of the gas bag is detected, and in the case of an unhindered expansion of the gas bag at least one additional stage of the gas generator or at least one additional gas generator is triggered for the further or complete filling of the gas bag.

    摘要: A variable inflation rate inflator system for inflating one or more airbags including an inflator for releasing a gas into the airbag(s), a first anticipatory crash sensor for determining that a crash requiring an airbag will occur based on data obtained prior to the crash and, upon the making of such a determination, triggering the inflator means to release gas into the airbag(s) to thereby inflate the same at a first inflation rate, and a second crash sensor for determining that a crash requiring an airbag will occur or is occurring and, upon the making of such a determination, affecting the inflator such that an additional quantity of gas is released thereby into the airbag(s) to thereby inflate the airbag(s) at a second inflation rate greater than the first inflation rate. Also, an airbag passive restraint system for protecting an occupant sitting in the seat adjacent the side door is disclosed including at least one airbag arranged to be inflated between the occupant and the side door, a sensor for detecting that a crash requiring deployment of the airbag(s) is required, an inflator for releasing a gas into the airbag(s) to inflate the same and which is triggered by the sensor to release gas into the airbag(s) in response to the detection by the sensor of a crash requiring deployment of the airbag(s), and a system for permitting the occupant to be displaced away from the side door upon inflation of the airbag(s) and thereby increase the space between the occupant and the side door.

    摘要: A driver air bag module is provided that is attachable to the steering wheel of an automotive vehicle and includes dual cylindrical inflators mounted to a base plate to which an air cushion enclosing cover is attached. The inflators are retained in recesses defined between an inflator retainer and the base plate which provide means for directing gas from the inflators into the air cushion. The assembly utilizes relatively inexpensive cylindrical inflators which may be operated together for maximum pressure inflation of the air cushion or singly for a lesser pressure inflation where operation of the air cushion at a lower pressure is desired.
