Abstract: An apparatus for the quick inflation of an airbag has a compressed-gas tank and a propellant charge container having pyrotechnical contents which form a propellant gas upon ignition. A breakaway disk blocks passage of compressed-gas and propellant gas to the airbag and is blown off in response to the ignition of the pyrotechnical contents to unblock the passages. The breakaway disk has an opening through which the propellant gas can flow into the airbag immediately after the ignition and before the breakaway disk is blown off.

Abstract: A reactor comprises at least one burner, to which hydrocar-bonaceous gas and gas rich in 0.sub.2 are supplied. The hydrocar-bonaceous gas is supplied to the burner through a transfer line at temperatures of 100 to 1300.degree. C. and a pressure in the range from 10 to 70 bar. Adjacent the orifice end of the transfer line, which is connected with the burner, there is provided a screen-like perforated wall through which the hy-drocarbonaceous gas can flow. This wall ensures a uniform gas flow in the burner, and at the same time it prevents solid matter from a certain size onwards from penetrating into the sensitive portion of the burner and settling there.
