GAS GENERATOR
First Claim
1. A gas generator comprising:
- an ignition chamber having a single igniter and an enhancer agent stored therein;
a first combustion chamber and a second combustion chamber each having a gas generating agent stored therein;
a first transfer path communicating said ignition chamber with said first combustion chamber;
a second transfer path communicating said ignition chamber with said second combustion chamber; and
restraint means for restraining combustion of said gas generating agent stored in said first combustion chamber from having an effect on combustion of said gas generating agent stored in said second combustion chamber through said first transfer path, said ignition chamber and said second transfer path, when said gas generating agent is fired and burned by said enhancer agent ignited by said igniter.

Abstract
A gas generator (1A) comprising: an ignition chamber (13) in which an igniter (12) and an enhancer agent (14) stored therein; a first combustion chamber (23) and a second combustion chamber (33) in which gas generating agent (24, 34) stored therein respectively; a first transfer path (15) communicating the ignition chamber (13) with the first combustion chamber (23); and a second transfer path (16) communicating the ignition chamber (13) with the second combustion chamber (33). The first transfer path (15) and second transfer path (16) are disposed to be displaced in parallel such that a center line (15a) of the first transfer path (15) and a center line (16a) of the second transfer path (16) do not overlap on the same straight line. Because of such a configuration, in a gas generator having two or more gas output portions driven by one igniter, it becomes possible that an effect of combustion of a gas generating agent in each combustion chamber is substantially or completely independent.
