ABSTRACT:
A non-explosive pyrotechnic linear release device is comprised of a body within which, at a proximal end, a pyrotechnic, comprised of a compressed gasless ignition powder, is contained behind a support ram which extends forward from the distal end of the body to support the sealed exit end of a pressure container which has been charged with a fluid, preferably air. The compressed pyrotechnic provides a psi pressure against the proximal end of the support ram greater than the psi pressure of the fluid against the sealed exit end of the pressure container. When the pyrotechnic is ignited by signal from an impact detecting element in the automobile during a crash, the pressure provided by the compacted pyrotechnic is dissipated, the support ram is then pushed proximally by the pressure from the pressure container and the exit end of the pressure container becomes unsealed and releases the fluid under pressure to the air bag or bags provided in the automobile.
