ABSTRACT:
An apparatus 10 for inflating a vehicle occupant restraint such as an air bag includes a gas source 14 having an axis 50 and a quantity of gas 12 therein. An outlet 30 in the gas source establishes axial flow of gas from the gas source. A flow control member 40 disposed in the path of gas flow establishes radial and circumferential flow of gas to remove particles from the flowing gas by centrifugal force. The a flow control member includes at least one circumferentially extending passage 72 for producing centrifugal force to remove particulate matter from gas flowing in the passage.
