Abstract
An inflator for a protective device in a vehicle includes a diffuser () forming a substantially rotation-symmetric external housing of the inflator with a closing member (), wherein the diffuser () includes a plurality of discharge orifices () arranged in a row, and which are of circular shape. The inflator also includes a combustion chamber sleeve () which at least partially encloses a combustion chamber () filled with fuel, wherein the combustion chamber sleeve () is designed such that it changes its shape by pressure formed during combustion of the fuel so as to release a discharge orifice () leading out of the combustion chamber () into a further combustion chamber () of the inflator, for a combustion gas formed during combustion of the fuel.
