Abstract
A gas generating system () includes a housing () having a longitudinal axis (A) and a pair of baffle tubes () positioned within the housing (). The baffle tubes each have a pair of opposed ends. At least a pair of opposed longitudinally aligned surfaces () is formed within the housing () proximate the ends of the housing. Each of the surfaces () is sloped with respect to the housing longitudinal axis (A) and abuts a corresponding end of one of the baffle tubes () to position the baffle tubes within the housing () such that longitudinal axes of the first baffle tube () and the second baffle tube () are both substantially coaxial with the longitudinal axis (A) of the housing (). Abutment between the sloped surfaces () and the baffle tubes () during assembly of the gas generating system provides an efficient means of automatically centering the baffle tubes () within the housing (), thereby easing assembly of the gas generating system.
