ABSTRACT:
An igniter assembly for a vehicle occupant safety apparatus comprises an ignitable material, a primer element, and a firing pin member. The ignitable material initiates burning of a combustible material in the safety apparatus when the ignitable material is ignited. The firing pin member is movable to actuate the primer element by penetrating the primer element and moving into contact with an ignitable primer material in the primer element. The primer element ignites the ignitable material when actuated by the firing pin member. A housing containing the ignitable material, the primer element and the firing pin member has a hermetic seal. The housing also has openable means for exposing the combustible material to the ignitable material when the ignitable material is ignited.
