Abstract
The present invention relates to a hybrid gas generator (), used for motor vehicle safety to inflate an airbag, comprising a body () containing an ignition device () and a reservoir () connected to the body and containing a pressurized gas (), together with initially closed-off discharge orifices (). The body possesses a first pyrotechnic charge () capable of generating a quantity of gas which, coupled to the volume of gas () contained in the reservoir, allows the airbag to be inflated in a time period of less than 50 milliseconds, and a second pyrotechnic charge () capable of generating, after combustion of the first pyrotechnic charge, a quantity of gas sufficient to keep the airbag inflated for a time period of several seconds.
