ABSTRACT:
An apparatus comprises an inflator housing (12) and gas generating material (90) within the housing (12). The apparatus has an initiator (20) for igniting the gas generating material (90). The initiator (20) has a heat conductive member (180). The heat conductive member (180) contains an auto ignition material (190). The auto ignition material (190) ignites at a temperature lower than the ignition temperature of the gas generating material (90). The heat conductive member (180) has a surface (184) external to the housing (12). The external surface (184) senses a high temperature such as one created by a fire. This temperature is transmitted to the auto ignition material (90), igniting the auto ignition material. The auto ignition material (190), when ignited, starts an ignition train which ignites the gas generating material (90).
