GAS GENERATOR

摘要

A gas generator wherein even gas generants which do not contain azide and therefore has a burning rate greatly affected by a change in the ambient temperature can be burned in a stabilized condition and at a riskless burning rate. The gas generator has openings through which a gas produced from gas generants accommodated in the gas generator is allowed to pass. The gas generator further has rupture plates which abut against the interior wall surface of the gas generator so as to mask the openings . Each thickness t (cm) of the rupture plates and each equivalent diameter D ÄcmÜ of the openings are given by the following equation (1): t = B x D DIVIDED A where B = parameter assuming a value ranging from 8 to 40 A = tensile strength of the rupture plate Äkgf/cm<2>Ü The rupture plates are made of nonmetal materials in whole or in part. The nonmetal materials have melting points which are higher than or equal to 500 DEG C.
