ABSTRACT:
A gas generating device for use in a vehicle in the event of a collision has a hammer pin, a gas generator and a hammer pin trigger device. The gas generator includes a detonator, which is accommodated in a housing for being fired when struck by a hammer pin, and a gas-generating chemical reagent arranged in adjacent to the detonator. In the event of a collision of the vehicle, the hammer pin trigger device causes the hammer pin to strike the detonator. The gas generator has a cover arranged to substantially close an opening in the detonator. The opening faces the hammer pin trigger device. The cover has a hammer pin insertion hole configured to receive the hammer pin. The hammer pin insertion hole of the cover has an inner diameter not greater than 1 mm to prevent leakage of high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which is produced as a result of explosive burning of said gas-generating chemical reagent, to the side of said hammer pin trigger device.
