Abstract
The invention relates to a cord-type gas generator, comprising a solid propellant strand ( ) consisting of a gas-generating material, located in a sleeve ( ) and a detonation element ( ). The solid propellant strand ( ) is positioned in the sleeve ( ) in such a way, that continuous channels ( ) are configured between the sleeve ( ) and the solid propellant strand ( ) for the formation of a detonation shock wave. The gas generator is characterised in that the solid propellant strand ( ) has a reduced woven thickness (W), achieved by the introduction of gaps into the material (slits , pores ), in order to reduce its burn time.
