  • Driver side all mechanical inflator for airbag systems
    Patent number: 5501487
    Abstract: An inflator for inflating air bags has a housing for holding a self-sufficient initiator, i.e. an initiator containing a crash sensor and a small explosive charge set off by the sensor. The housing also includes a gas generating material set off by the small charge and filters for filtering the gases. The filters and gas generator material are separated by a choke plate. Advantageously, a portion of the housing is arranged to secure the initiator while the choke plate is securely clamped between two housing members.
