Abstract
A container of a pressurized gas has an elongated inlet/outlet tubular neck which extends into a housing passage. A cap sealed over the inlet/outlet neck has a platelike member connected to the neck via a hollow support or column. A piston is slidingly received within the housing passage for movement toward the platelike member and has a rod which can be brought into contact with the member eccentrically of the hollow support. A squib on being discharged driving the piston toward the platelike member and rod cantilevers about the hollow support causing it to break and release the gas for use.
