METHOD FOR PRODUCING SOLID FUEL TABLETS, SOLID FUEL TABLETS, GAS GENERATOR, AND MODULE HAVING A GAS GENERATOR

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing solid fuel tablets (10), in particular for a gas generator (30) and/or a pyrotechnic actuator of a vehicle occupant restraint system, wherein said method comprises the following steps: providing a solid fuel (12), pressing the solid fuel (12) to form a tablet blank (16), wherein the tablet blank (16) has at least one predetermined breaking point (18), which divides the tablet blank (16) into at least sub-areas (20), and breaking the tablet blank (16) along the at least one predetermined breaking point (18), wherein the at least two sub-areas (20) each form a solid fuel tablet (10). The invention further relates to a solid fuel tablet (10) produced by breaking a tablet blank (16) along a predetermined breaking point (18). A gas generator (30) comprises at least one combustion chamber (34), wherein the combustion chamber (34) is filled with a plurality of solid fuel tablets (10) in the inactivated state of the generator (30), wherein the solid fuel tablets (10) each have a surface having a breaking point (19), which is bounded at least by two surfaces (28) that run toward each other and that are produced by pressing. A module having a gas generator (30) comprises an airbag that can be inflated by the gas generator (30) and a fastening device for attaching the module, in particular in the interior of a vehicle.
