ABSTRACT:
Featured for use with a hybrid air bag inflator containing inert stored gas under high pressure is a liquid fueled construction which combines the functions of an initiator, gas generator, and differential low pressure switch into a single device. Instead of being filled with a mixture of combustible gases, the device is filled with a combination of gases and liquids. Alternatively, it makes use of a hybrid squib in conjunction with different combinations of gases and liquids. A pyrotechnic material is used to ignite the mixture regardless of the combination of fuel and oxidant used in the device. A ceramic body is used to house the device. Upon combustion of the mixture, the ceramic body ruptures violently, permitting efficient transfer of the explosive energy to the inert stored gas in the hybrid inflator.
