The invention describes a micro gas generator () for a vehicle safety system comprising a plastic housing part () and a metallic insert (), wherein the plastic material forming the housing part () is injection-molded around the insert () and, thus, the latter is positively connected to the housing part (), and wherein a seat () in which an igniter () is inserted is formed in the housing part (). In addition, a method of manufacturing a micro gas generator () is described.

Micro gas generator and method for producing a micro gas generator

A belt tensioner () for a vehicle occupant restraint system comprises a tube () containing gas in the trigger case and an igniter unit () arranged in the tube () which igniter unit is inserted in an open end face () of the tube () and includes a base () and a cap () fastened to the base () for accommodating a propelling charge, wherein the cap () is arranged at least pertly inside the tube. The igniter unit () is welded to the tube ().

Seat belt tensioner for a vehicle passenger restraint system

A linear drive, especially for a belt tensioner, includes a housing () including a piston seat (), a piston element () accommodated in the piston seat () and a pyrotechnical drive element adapted to supply gas for displacing the piston element (). The inner wall of the piston seat () includes a groove () extending in the displacing direction (R) of the piston element () through which gas can flow off the piston seat ().
