Abstract
A gas generator includes a housing having an inner wall delimiting an igniter chamber peripherally, and at least one igniter opening into the igniter chamber. The gas generator further includes a cap arranged for displacement along the inner wall and delimiting the igniter chambe, said cap having a cylindrical peripheral wall and a radially extending cover wall. The peripheral wall has a first section extending from the cover wall in displacement direction (R) and a second section extending in a direction opposite thereto. The first and second sections lie against the inner wall and guide the cap during a displacement thereof. The cover wall is turned axially into the interior of the cap.
