  • Single level cylindrical passenger inflator
    Patent number: 12767083
    Abstract: An airbag inflator assembly includes a cylindrical housing, an initiator assembly secured in an upstream end of the cylindrical housing, and a generant disposed in the cylindrical housing adjacent the initiator assembly. Internal components define a tortuous path for products of combustion and define a plurality of debris collection areas. A rupture disk assembly is secured over an exit aperture, and a diffuser region downstream of the rupture disk assembly includes an output opening through which the products of combustion are vented into the airbag.

  • Cylindrical inflator assembly
    Patent number: 12759497
    Abstract: An airbag inflator assembly includes a cylindrical housing and internal components disposed in the cylindrical housing. The internal components include an initiator assembly, a generant, an internal nozzle, and a canister downstream of the internal nozzle. A center vent is secured to a downstream end of the cylindrical housing and includes a central passageway adjacent the canister for products of combustion and an exit passage that directs the products of combustion out of the assembly. The internal components and the center vent define a tortuous path for the products of combustion.
