Abstract
The inflator assembly comprises a cylindrical housing main body which is made by extrusion so that it is possible to achieve a desired cross section which optimizes the progress of combustion of the propellant while minimizing the size of the housing. In particular, by using a member clad or mounted with brazing material for an internal component of the assembly, such as the ignition pipe, a leg section for supporting the ignition pipe inside the housing, a wall section for defining a separate combustion chamber, at least one of the end plates for closing the axial ends of the housing main body, and a perforated plate member serving as the perforated section, it is possible to simplify the manufacturing process, and thereby reduce the manufacturing cost.
