ABSTRACT:
An inflator assembly (10) comprises a break away wall portion (58 ) that partially defines a storage chamber (18) for storing gas which is releasable to inflate a vehicle occupant restraint (12). A first ignitable material, when ignited, produces first combustion products to pressurize and supplement the stored gas. A second ignitable material (122), when ignited, produces second combustion products to ignite the first ignitable material. A movable container (104) contains the second ignitable material (122). The movable container (104) is propelled toward the break away wall portion (58) to penetrate and break away the break away wall portion and then to carry away the break away wall portion across the storage chamber (18) when the second ignitable material (122) is burning.
