<p>A gas generating system (10) is provided including a housing (12) with a longitudinal axis (A), and a first baffle tube (22a) positioned within the housing (12) and having a pair of opposed ends. A second baffle tube (24a) is also positioned within the housing (12) and has a pair of opposed ends. A first pair of opposed surfaces (59a, 60a) is formed within the housing (12). Each of the first pair of opposed surfaces (59a, 60a) is sloped with respect to the longitudinal axis (A) and abuts a corresponding end of the first baffle tube (22a) to position the first baffle tube (22a) within the housing (12) such that a longitudinal axis of the first baffle tube (22a) is substantially coaxial with the longitudinal axis (A) of the housing (12). Each of the first pair of opposed surfaces (59a, 60a) also abuts a corresponding end of the second baffle tube (24a) to position the second baffle tube (24a) within the housing (12) such that a longitudinal axis of the second baffle tube (24a) is substantially coaxial with the longitudinal axis (A) of the housing (12). A vehicle occupant protection system (180) including the gas generating system (10) is also disclosed.</p> |
