GAS PRODUCER

摘要

A gas producer capable of filling a sufficient amount of a gas-producing agent in a combustion chamber with a housing maintained in high safety and capable of uniformly and efficiently combusting the gas-producing agent in the combustion chamber. A gas producer (A) has a housing with an initiator shell (1) and a closure shell (2), a combustion chamber (5) in which a gas-producing agent (4) is placed, and igniting means (7) for igniting and combusting the gas-producing agent (4). The initiator shell (1) and the closure shell (2) have semispherical end plate sections (10, 14). The ratio (H/D) between the outer diameter (D) of hollow-cylindrical sections (9, 13) continuously formed from the end plate sections (10, 14) and the length (H) of a housing is set to a range of 0.4 - 1.3. The igniting means (7) has an inner hollow-cylindrical body (16) with fire transmission holes (15) and a fire transmitter agent (17) placed in the inner hollow-cylindrical body (16). The ratio (d/D) between the outer diameter (d) of the inner hollow-cylindrical body (16) and the outer diameter (D) of the end plate sections (10, 14) is set to a range of 0.1 - 0.5.
