ABSTRACT:
A simplified airbag inflator providing a convoluted pathway for passage of inflation gases from the combustion chamber of the inflator to exhaust ports leading to an inflatable airbag is provided. The inflator has a U-shaped filter element and U-shaped diffuser attached to an inflator housing defining the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is closed off with an end plate having generally axially aligned exit holes therein. Inflation gases would flow axially from the combustion chamber through the exit holes in the end plate, radially then axially through the filter element, and then radially out exhaust ports in the diffuser.
