Abstract: An assembly for a vehicle occupant restraint system comprises an inflator and a gas exit tube connected in a gas-tight manner thereto. The inflator is provided with a discharge portion for the gas generated by the inflator when required. The discharge portion comprises a circumferential groove having in cross-section a saw tooth profile with a flank perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the discharge portion. This flank is located on the side of the groove facing the gas exit tube. The gas exit tube comprises a portion which engages the groove in an interfitting manner by means of a plastically deformed portion and secures the gas exit tube axially thereto at the inflator.

Abstract: A vehicle occupant restraint system comprises a gas bag and a gas generator for filling the gas bag. To seal the gas bag dynamically during the insufflation process and to substantially increase the pressure keeping duration of the gas bag, compressed gases which are produced by the gas generator are provided with a sealing compound. The sealing compound is distributed on the inner side of the bas bag during the insufflation process thereof.

Abstract: An explosive projectile (10) with a projectile casing (12), a ballistic hood (14), an explosive charge (26) located within of the projectile casing (12), a base detonator (28) and a fragment packing (32) which is located towards the head end of the projectile. The ballistic hood (14) is constructed so as to be readily destroyable or, respectively, constituted of a readily destroyable material. The projectile casing is closed at its forward end and provided with a recess (30) in which there is arranged the fragment packing (32). The fragment packing (32) at the forward end thereof bounds the explosive charge (26).
