Abstract: A gas generator assembly for an airbag module of a motor vehicle, including a generator housing with a first housing part and a second housing part, a combustion space formed in the generator housing for accommodating a pyrotechnic charge from which a gas for inflating a gas bag of the airbag module can be generated by combustion. At least one outlet opening is provided in the generator housing through which gas generated in the combustion space can be released for inflating the gas bag. At least one filter unit is arranged in the generator housing for filtering the gas generated from the pyrotechnic charge. The assembly includes a guide element arranged in the generator housing, by means of which the generated gas is guided to the at least one outflow opening. The guide element is of tubular form and has at least one deformation area.

Abstract: It is provided a gas generator for a gas bag module of a vehicle occupant restraint system, comprising at least one chamber in which gas-generating material is arranged; a volume compensation arrangement which includes a first functional region for compensating at least a part of the volume of the chamber not occupied by the gas-generating material and a second functional region for exerting a restoring force on a component of the gas generator. The volume compensation arrangement comprises at least two compressible elements resting against each other, wherein at least one of the compressible elements in a first partial section that is associated with the first functional region of the volume compensation arrangement has another thickness than in a second partial section that is associated with the second functional region of the volume compensation arrangement.
