Abstract
A pyrotechnic safety device having a heat and flame resistant conduit coupled with a pyrotechnic device is provided. The conduit remains coupled to the pyrotechnic device during autoignition of the pyrotechnic device and dissipates the energy of a gas discharged by the pyrotechnic device as a consequence of the autoignition. Also disclosed is a method of preventing projectile movement of a pyrotechnic device comprising the steps of coupling together a pyrotechnic device and a heat and flame resistant conduit and allowing the conduit to dissipate the energy produced by a gas generated by the pyrotechnic device as a consequence of autoignition.

22. An pyrotechnic safety device comprising:
-
an airbag inflator, a hose coupled with the airbag inflator, the hose being heat and flame resistant such that the hose substantially retains its structural integrity and remains in coupled with the airbag inflator in order to dissipate a force of a gas discharged by the airbag inflator when the pyrotechnic device is subjected to temperatures sufficient to cause an autoignition of the airbag inflator in order to inhibit projectile movement of the airbag inflator. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)

25. A method of preventing projectile movement of a pyrotechnic device comprising the steps of:
-
coupling together a pyrotechnic device and a heat and flame resistant conduit, configuring the conduit to remain coupled with the pyrotechnic device when the pyrotechnic device is subjected to a heat source sufficient to cause autoignition of the pyrotechnic device, allowing the conduit to dissipate the energy produced by a gas generated by the pyrotechnic device as a consequence of autoignition.
