ABSTRACT:
An igniter assembly for a vehicle occupant safety apparatus includes an ignitable material, a plurality of primer elements, and a single impact member. A housing having a hermetic seal contains the ignitable material, the primer elements, and the impact member. The ignitable material initiates burning of a combustible material in the safety apparatus when the ignitable material is ignited. The primer elements are actuatable to ignite the ignitable material in response to the application of force against the primer elements. The impact member is movable to apply force against the primer element to actuate the primer elements in response to an impact force applied to the housing.
