ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (10) for inflating an air bag (12) includes a pressure vessel (14), a diffuser (180) and an ignitable material (80). The pressure vessel (14) defines a sealed chamber (18) which is filled with inflation fluid that is not ignitable within the chamber (18). The diffuser (180) directs the inflation fluid from the pressure vessel (14) to the air bag (12). The ignitable material (80) is ignited and emits combustion products in response to an actuating signal. The apparatus (10) further includes a canister (70) for dispersing the combustion products in the inflation fluid within the chamber (18). The canister (70) contains the ignitable material (80) and is moved within the chamber (18) when the ignitable material (80) is burning.
