Abstract

The present invention relates to an igniter assembly including an igniter main body accommodated in an igniter collar, the igniter main body fixed within the igniter collar by a resin, the igniter collar having at least a cylindrical wall and an annular protruding portion protruding inward from a part of the cylindrical wall, the resin charged so as to extend from a position sandwiching the annular protruding portion from the upper and lower directions up to the same height as an upper end of the cylindrical wall, but not to cover an outer peripheral wall of the cylindrical wall.

Claims

1. An igniter assembly comprising an igniter collar having at least a cylindrical wall and an annular protruding portion protruding inward from a part of the cylindrical wall and an igniter main body, the igniter main body being accommodated in the igniter collar and fixed within the igniter collar with a resin, the resin being charged so as to extend from a position sandwiching the annular protruding portion from upper and lower directions up to the same height as an upper end of the cylindrical wall, but to cover no outer peripheral wall of the cylindrical wall.

2. The igniter assembly according to claim 1, wherein the resin is charged so as to extend from the position sandwiching the annular protruding portion from the upper and lower directions up to a height covering the upper end edge of the cylindrical wall, but does not cover the outer peripheral wall of the cylindrical wall.

3. The igniter assembly according to claim 1, wherein the resin is charged so as to extend from the position sandwiching the annular protruding portion from the upper and lower directions up to a height covering an upper end edge of the cylindrical wall, and also so as to protrude outward, but does not cover the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall.

4. The igniter assembly according to claim 1, wherein the igniter main body comprises a header portion, a conductive pin extending from the header portion, and a cup portion covering the header portion and filled with an ignition charge, and at least half an entire height of the cup portion of the igniter main body is enveloped by the cylindrical wall of the igniter collar.

5. The igniter assembly according to claim 1, wherein an upper end opening portion peripheral edge of the cylindrical wall is formed so as to incline inward.

6. The igniter assembly according to claim 1, wherein a part of an inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall which contacts the resin has irregularities or is uneven.

7. The igniter assembly according to claim 2, wherein the igniter main body includes a header portion, a conductive pin extending from the header portion, and a cup portion covering the header portion and filled with an ignition charge, and at least half of an entire height of the cup portion is enveloped by the cylindrical wall of the igniter collar.

8. The igniter assembly according to claim 2, wherein a peripheral edge of an upper end opening portion provided in the cylindrical wall is formed with a surface that is inclined inwardly.

9. The igniter assembly according to claim 2, wherein at least a part of an inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall which contacts the resin has irregularities or is uneven.

15. The igniter assembly according to claim 1, wherein a part of an inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall which contacts the resin has irregularities or is uneven.

10. An igniter assembly, comprising:

an igniter collar provided with a cylindrical wall extending in an axial direction thereof and an annular protruding portion protruding inward from a portion of the cylindrical wall;

an igniter main body accommodated and fixed within the igniter collar such that the cylindrical wall is provided outside the igniter main body; and

a resin provided within the igniter collar and fixing the igniter main body within the igniter collar such that the annular protruding portion is sandwiched by the resin and the resin covers other than an outer periphery of the cylindrical wall.

11. The igniter assembly according to claim 10, wherein the resin is provided such that an upper end of the cylindrical wall is covered with resin.

12. The igniter assembly according to claim 10, wherein the resin is provided such that the upper end of the cylindrical wall is covered with resin and the resin extends outward from the outer periphery of the cylindrical wall.

13. The igniter assembly according to claim 10, wherein the igniter main body includes a header portion, a conductive pin extending from the header portion, and a cup portion covering the header portion and filled with an ignition charge, and at least half an entire height of the cup portion is enveloped by the cylindrical wall.

14. The igniter assembly according to claim 10, wherein an upper end of the cylindrical wall is provided with an inclined surface inclined inwardly.
