1. A method of manufacturing a cold-gas pyrotechnic generator of the type having a casing of revolution having a central axis, said casing being provided with outer orifices and including a base and a cover fastened together transversely, said base and said cover together forming:

  • an inner ignition channel for receiving an ignition device;

    an annular intermediate chamber employed as a combustion chamber or containing elements of a gas-generating pyrotechnic composition;

    an annular peripheral chamber employed as a cooling and filtering chamber, said peripheral chamber containing filtering means;

    wherein said intermediate chamber and said peripheral chamber are in communication through intermediate orifices therebetween, and said peripheral chamber is in communication with the outside through said outer orifices, and wherein said casing defines, between said inner central ignition channel and said intermediate chamber, a lateral opening whose height is greater than the largest dimension of said elements of gas-generating pyrotechnic composition, wherein said lateral opening is continuous about said central axis, the method comprising the steps ofa) placing the filtering means in the chamber and assembling the cover with the base,b) rotating the casing about the central axis thereof,c) pouring the pyrotechnic composition into the lateral opening of the chamber while rotating the casing, andd) introducing an ignition device into the inner central channel.
