<p>The initiator (1) has a pressure unit for supplying a pressure, which is converted into kinetic energy when reaching a threshold temperature for releasing the initiator. The pressure unit is formed by a pressure chamber (3), which is closed by a closure. The pressure unit contains an active medium (4), which is a material that exhibits a vapor pressure for opening the closure. The closure is formed by a shear disc (6), and the pressure unit is formed by a pre-stressing spring. A bimetal element releases the spring when reaching the threshold temperature.</p> |
