ABSTRACT:
An inflator for inflating a vehicle occupant restraint includes an annular slag screen or filter which is disposed between a combustion cup and a diffuser cup. A canister of gas generating material is disposed in the combustion cup. Upon igniting the gas generating material in the canister, gas flows through openings in the side wall of the combustion cup to the slag screen or filter. The gas then flows through a final filter assembly and out of the diffuser cup. The slag filter is preassembled on the combustion cup by radially contracting a surface of the filter to grip the side wall of the combustion cup. This enables the combustion cup and slag filter to be positioned as a unit relative to the diffuser cup and final filter.
