A squib for a gas generator, comprising a magazine which is formed with a squib cup and a squib plug and is sealed; a pair of electrode lead pins penetrating through said squib plug to said magazine; a bearing wire connected to ends of said electrode lead pins; and an explosive contained in said magazine, said explosive composition containing a spontaneous firing explosive composition comprising carbohydrates, oxohalogenates and metal oxides.

Squib for an air bag with an auto ignition composition

A gas generator for an air bag is provided which contains a spontaneously-firing explosive composition in which at least one of a squib, igniting agent and a gas generant is contained in a casing formed of a light alloy material, the spontaneously-firing explosive composition containing carbohydrates, oxohalogenates and metal oxides or alternatively carbohydrates, oxohalogenates, metal oxides and one or more synthetic resins. The spontaneously-firing explosive composition has a spontaneous firing property in temperature range of either 165.degree.-220.degree. C. or 165.degree.-200.degree. C. The effective temperature range may be selected as needed.
