Abstract
Described is a gas generator unit comprising of a cylindrical gas generator (), the lateral surface () of which demonstrates emission holes () arranged in a thrust-neutral manner within a ring-shaped area (), and a deflector element (), which is rigidly connected to the gas generator () and is made of a heat resistant material and at least surrounds the ring-shaped area () at least partially. To make the gas generator harmless in the event of a fire, the deflector element () demonstrates, in an inflow area () opposite the ring-shaped area (), borings (), which are sealed by at least one blocking element () made of a meltable or combustible material, the borings being arranged in such a manner that the gas generator unit is thrust-neutral in the absence of the blocking element ().
