Patent Images
1. Gas generator, comprising:
- an ignition charge, at least one ignition element for igniting the ignition charge, a storage chamber containing a compressed gas, which storage chamber is closed by a closure element, an impact element destroying the closure element under pressure, a piston being provided as the impact element, which piston, after the destruction of the closure element, forms an exit gap with the opening closed by the closure element, wherein the cross-sectional area of which exit gap changes according to the position of the piston, and a deformable damping element provided to dampen the displacement of the piston, wherein the front of the piston pushes against the deformable damping element to dampen the displacement of the piston.

Abstract
A gas generator includes an ignition charge, at least one ignition element for igniting the ignition charge, a storage chamber containing a compressed gas, which storage chamber is closed by a closure element, and an impact element destroying the closure element under pressure. A piston is provided as the impact element, which piston, after the destruction of the closure element, forms an exit gap with the opening closed by the closure element. The cross-sectional area of which exit gap changes in according to the position of the piston.
