GAS GENERATOR, PARTICULARLY FOR A CARRIER OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM, SAFETY GAS CUSHION MODULE, OCCUPANT SAFETY SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A GAS GENERATOR

摘要

The invention relates to a gas generator (10) for an occupant restraint system of a motor vehicle, comprising a diffuser (11) which, together with a closure body (12), forms an outer casing of said gas generator , and an ignition unit (20) with an igniter holder (24), which is disposed in an opening of the closure body (12) and is connected thereto. According to the invention, a peripheral edge of the opening forms part of a deformable spring element (30) which, at least in zones, bears against an outer wall of the igniter holder (24), so that that, under the effect of a rise in pressure in the outer casing, the ignition unit (20) is made movable in the axial direction by deformation of the spring element (30).
