Abstract: A gas generator for inflating a safety bag for the protection of persons in a vehicle, is equipped with a combustion chamber that is divided into a smaller section and into a larger section by a sheet metal insert. The sheet metal insert also divides the fuel into two portions, whereby a smaller fuel portion is located closer to the ignition openings of an ignition device while the larger fuel portion is located further away from the ignition device. The divider or insert provides a passage or gas flow openings which are so located that the combustion gas generated in the smaller section must flow entirely through the smaller section before it enters into the larger section. Thus, the smaller fuel portion is combusted substantially first and the larger fuel portion is combusted thereafter to provide an inflation characteristic for the safety bag such that the bag is initially filled slower and then rapidly.

Abstract: A gas generator for inflating an inflatable article such as a safety bag or raft, has a reaction chamber (1) surrounded by a ring-shaped filter chamber (2). First gas exit openings (10 to 15) permit generated gas to flow from the reaction chamber into the filter chamber. Second gas exit openings (22) lead from the filter chamber into the inflatable article. A temperature responsive flow control is provided to make sure that the inflation efficiency or the inflation pressure inside the inflated article is substantially constant and substantially independent of the temperature of the gas generator at which the ignition of a gas generating fuel begins.

Abstract: A housing for a gas generator for inflating a safety bag in a passenger vehicle is constructed of modular units preferably having a tubular or cylindrical tubular configuration. At least one combustion chamber and one filter casing are joined to each other so that the longitudinal axes of the units align with each other longitudinally. An axially facing gas exit from the combustion chamber into the filter casing provides an initially axial gas flow which is then diverted radially outwardly from the filter casing into the safety bag.

Abstract: A short circuit spring for an electrical connector, such as a plug-in connector, has a flat leaf spring section and a curved leaf spring section. A first hole in the flat section fits snugly in a contact making manner around an electrical terminal while a second hole in the flat section is large enough to permit a second terminal to pass through without contact. The curved section forms a tongue bent back to contact the second terminal with a tongue edge when the connector is not plugged together with a second connector to maintain a short circuit and to interrupt the short circuit when the connectors are plugged together.
