PURPOSE: To efficiently suck the ambient air of an effective amount by a sucking unit of an air bag module by forming an air intake opening, a gas outlet opening, a venturi channel terminating in the gas outlet opening and an air aspiration passage between the intake opening and the venturi channel by cooperating side walls with traverse walls. CONSTITUTION: Traverse walls 42, 44 of the reaction device 12 are provided with venturi channel 46 extended from side wall 38 to the other side wall 40. An air aspiration passage is extended from an air intake opening 56 to the channel 46 around a cylindrical inflator housing 34. High speed gas is generated at a low pressure in the channel 46 to guide the ambient air flow from the opening 56 to the channel 46 around the housing 34, The ambient air speed is accelerated as flows from a convergent part 48 to a throat 52 of the channel 46, mixed with the generated gas to form an expansion fluid, which is fed from a gas exhaust opening 53 to an air bag 16. |
