The subject of the present invention is a pyrotechnic method for generating gas at two successive flow rates&#x2014;a first flow rate then a second flow rate, said first flow rate being higher than said second flow rate&#x2014;which comprises: Another subject of the invention is a pyrotechnic gas generator suitable for the implementation of said method. The invention is most particularly applicable in the context of side protection airbags ('curtain airbags'), used in automobile safety.

Pyrotechnical method for dual-mode gas generation and related pyrotechnical generator

The subject of the present invention is a device () for propelling a liquid (L) comprising a reservoir () equipped with a mobile separation member () and a pyrotechnic gas generator (), which is arranged inside said reservoir (), equipped with nozzles (). Characteristically, said nozzles () of said gas generator () are arranged radially on the wall(s) of said body () and said gas generator (), arranged in such a way that its axis corresponds to the line of travel of said mobile separation member (), is equipped with a deflector () to deflect said generated combustion gases (G) along said line of travel of said mobile separation member ().
