COMPRESSED GAS AIRBAG INFLATOR ASSEMBLY

摘要

The invention provides an airbag inflator assembly having a container containing a charge of pressurized gas and having a peripheral surface surrounding an opening in the container, a burst disc member having a first side attached to the peripheral surface of the container by a first weld to seal the opening and thus confine the charge of pressurized gas within the container, and an ignitor assembly housing having a peripheral surface on an outwardly extending flange, the ignitor assembly including ignition elements constructed and arranged to generate sufficient force to break the seal formed by the burst disc member and release the pressurized gas from the container, the ignitor assembly being attached by a second weld to a second side of the burst disc opposite to the first side at the peripheral surface on the outwardly extending flange. Furthermore, the invention provides a method of making such airbag inflator assembly.
