Abstract
An inflator () is provided for supplying gas to a vehicle airbag from the combustion of pyrotechnic materials. The inflator () has a two-piece inflator body () held together by crimping the body components, rather than welding. An igniter assembly () is positioned in a bore () in an upper piece () of the inflator body and is held in place with a press-fit interface and an adhesive seal. The upper piece () of the inflator body is rounded, increasing its strength, and fits partially into the lower piece (). A booster tube is unnecessary, making the inflator lighter in weight and increasing available volume for propellant.
