Abstract: A compact ignition system for chemical oxygen generators for possible use in an aircraft. The chemical oxygen generator is configured such that a majority of the ignition system can be accommodated within an interior of the generator body. In some embodiments, the ignition system is positioned within a recess of an upper surface of the core of the generator. Housing a majority of the ignition system within the generator allows the overall oxygen-generating capacity of the generator to be increased without requiring a corresponding increase in the overall length of the generator.

Abstract: A chemical oxygen generator with enhanced structural integrity. In some embodiments, the chemical core of the chemical oxygen generator is reinforced with one or more reinforcing structures that are integral with the core. In some embodiments, as the core burns, the one or more reinforcing structures become fused with the core.

Abstract: A filter assembly for use with a chemical oxygen generator. In some embodiments, the filter assembly is external to the chemical oxygen generator. In one embodiment, a first end of the filter assembly includes an inlet that couples to an outlet of chemical oxygen generator and a second end of the filter assembly includes one or more outlets that couple to one or more oxygen masks, tubes or other oxygen-delivery devices. The filter assembly houses a filter media for removing unwanted containments from the generated oxygen. In non-limiting embodiments, the filter assembly is housed in a drop down box or other housing of an aircraft or other desired application.
