Abstract: The invention relates to a device for burning off propellants or explosive substances, which has an activation temperature that lies below the spontaneous ignition temperature of the propellant or explosive substance. The device (1) comprises at least two substances (5, 6) reacting exothermically with one another, wherein at least one first substance (5) is present in a liquid aggregate state below the activation temperature of the device and is separated from at least one second substance (6) by at least one pressure-tight barrier (7).

Abstract: Missile having a jet engine (2) comprising at least one turbine (3) and at least one compressing means (4), wherein gas generated in at least one gas generator (7) of the missile (1) drives a turbine (3). The compressing means (4) and the turbine (3) are arranged opposite to the flight direction (6) adjacent to each other.

Abstract: For the purpose of reducing manufacturing costs and mounting defects, an electric ignition device has a one-piece basic body as a base for a primary and a secondary charge, so that the tightness is also increased with respect to moisture penetration.

Abstract: A gas generating mass, particularly for inflating airbags for occupant protection systems in motor vehicles, consists of an alkali azide or alkaline earth azide, sulfur in at least an amount that is stoichiometric with respect to the oxidation of the alkali metal or alkaline earth metal of the alkali azide or the alkaline earth azide, as well as, if required, a slag forming agent.

Abstract: A filter arrangement for an airbag gas generator of the type utilizing gas-producing propellant charge to generate gas to inflate an airbag, and having a filter chamber exhibiting contoured interior surfaces. A gas permeable filter material with a large effective filter surface is disposed in the filter chamber in such a manner as to substantially completely fill up the filter chamber and to contact substantially all of its contoured interior surfaces. The filter material comprises a circular knitted wire knit, rolled up and pressed into a shape corresponding to the shape of the filter chamber.

Abstract: The invention relates to a temperature-dependent control of the gas press supplied by the gas generator.

Abstract: The innovation relates to an electric ignitor for a pyrotechnic element hng a rotationally symmetrical electrical plugging arrangement comprising two plug elements connected together and with a short-circuiting spring being open in the progress.

Abstract: An airbag gas generator is disclosed which includes a propellant chamber and a filter chamber arranged adjacent the propellant chamber for filtering flow of airbag propellant gas therethrough on its path to an airbag cushion. The filter chamber is provided with a plurality of alternative gas flow paths therethrough which have respective different filter resistances. Temperature dependent change-over devices are provided for controlling the flow of gas through the respective alternative gas flow paths in the filter chamber as a function of the ambient temperature at the generator.

Abstract: The electric ignition includes an insulating base and a primary charge mounted on the insulating base. The primary charge includes an ignition pellet, a primary ignition powder and a elastic sleeve for retaining the ignition pellet and primary ignition powder on the insulating piece. A stepped cylindrical jacket is provided to receive the primary charge. The stepped cylindrical jacket includes at least, first and second cylindrical portions of different diamters connected to one another by a radially extending step or flange. The jacket may also include a fastening means for securing the primary charge within the jacket and securing the electric ignition to a housing or the like. The jacket may further include a torusor cylindrical flange to facilitate mounting in a housing or the like. Finally, a portion of the jacket may be surrounded by a secondary ignition agent which is enclosed by an insulating sleeve fastened on the jacket.

Abstract: An automatic-ignition device for a vehicle crash protection device for passengers having a gas generator, whereby a reliable automatic releasing action is attained in case of an overheating, especially when a light-metal main gas generator housing is used. A primary ignition mixture is contained in a housing structure which is thermally insulated from the main gas generator housing. The primary mixture housing structure forms a heat seal thermally insulated from the main gas generator housing.

Abstract: A device for ejecting ammunition containers from a war head has, transversely to the war head longitudinal axis a bellows which accepts individual ammunition containers in concave circumferentially sparse pockets (6). The bellows is inflated by a gas-generator including a gas-permeable tube extending along the longitudinal axis. In order to achieve as wide a variation range of ejection behavior of the ammunition container as possible, the propellant charge of the gas generator is particulate and at least one ITLX ignition cord extends along the longitudinal axis of the tube, so that the hot particles during burndown of the ITLX ignition cord are pressed between the particles of the propellant charge (12). A damming serves to build up the initial pressure required for the burn-down of the propellant charge.

Abstract: In order to achieve a delay time as constant as possible, an interspace is provided between a pyrotechnic delay composition and the delay tubule.
