Abstract
A gas generator apparatus for an air bag is provided and includes a pressure container for receiving a high pressure, highly compressed gas. The container includes an opening closed by a seal. While the seal, by itself, would not withstand the pressure in the gas-filled container, the apparatus also includes a supporting element, which supports the side of the seal opposite the opening. The supporting element is displaceable by action of a release mechanism to effect release of gas from the container.
