Abstract
A method for manufacturing a hybrid inflator for an inflatable safety system. The methodology principally relates to forming an annular stored gas housing from a single piece of tubing into a generally toroidal-like or torus-like outer wall configuration. The methodology may also include forming a central housing and a providing an appropriate propellant to at least a portion of the central housing. The central housing may then be disposed in a central opening extending through the stored gas housing and the central housing and stored gas housing may be appropriately interconnected, preferably to seal the inflator. An appropriate inflating medium may then provided to the inflator.
