SAFETY BAG INFLATION SYSTEM FOR VEHICLES

摘要

A system for inflating a safety bag in a vehicle upon a collision, wherein additional energy is supplied to a volume of pressurized gas stored in a reservoir, the additional energy being supplied by controlled combustion of a propellant charge to produce combustion gases which admix with the pressurized gas. The mixture of gases thus flows to the safety bag to inflate the latter. Energy produced by combustion of the propellant is also used to open a sealed flow path to the safety bag.
