  • Patent number: 8590930
    Abstract: A gas generator includes, an igniter having an ignition portion and a conductive pin a collar holding the igniter, a metallic cup-shaped case fixed to the collar and having a fragile portion. The collar includes a metallic portion and a resin part enclosing the ignition portion. An outer diameter of the metallic portion is larger than an outer diameter of the resin part. The cup-shaped case has an annular portion bent inward at an opening thereof. The annular bent portion includes a bent corner, an annular tilted surface, and an annular terminal end. The annular tilted surface includes an outer tilted surface facing toward a side of a peripheral surface of the cup-shaped case and an inner annular tilted surface facing the opposite side. The inner annular tilted surface of the annular bent portion presses against the resin portion.
