Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4303132
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A dual stage inflator 10 utilizes a housing 12 having two laterally oriented propellant chambers 20 and 22 . A perforated divider 18 provides lateral separation between chambers 20 and 22 , and facilitates fluid communication between chambers 20 and 22 when both chambers are operated. Upon inflator 10 operation, the first chamber 20 is activated operatively independent of the second chamber 22 , and if desired, the second chamber 22 may be activated simultaneously or sequentially with chamber 20 . A perforated divider 18 provides lateral separation between chambers 20 and 22 , and facilitates fluid communication between chambers 20 and 22 when both chambers are activated. The aforementioned design provides simplified manufacturing with equivalent or enhanced structural integrity relative to known inflators.
