An airbelt inflator 10 is provided for supplying and directing gas from the combustion of pyrotechnic materials into an inflatable safety belt or airbag. The airbelt inflator 10 includes a substantially cylindrical body 12. One or more ledges 26, 42 are defined by the junctions of inner walls 34, 36, and 38 wherein each ledge 26, 42 functions to retain an inner inflator component. In another aspect of the invention, an enhancer disc 56 features a metallic density greater than an associated filter 48 whereby tailoring of the density of the metallic disc 56 facilitates a quick and easy method of modifying the gas flow exiting the inflator 10. |
