1. A gas generator for an air bag, comprising:
- a housing having a gas discharging hole;
ignition means activated upon an impact, the ignition means including at least one igniter and at least one transfer charge, the at least one transfer charge being a mixture of a transfer charge powder and molded articles of a gas generating agent; and
a combustion chamber accommodating a gas generating agent which is ignited and burnt to generate a combustion gas, whereinthe ignition means includes a first igniter, a first transfer charge, a second igniter, and a second transfer charge, and when the first igniter and the second igniter are activated with a time difference, the second transfer charge combined with the second igniter which is activated with a delay includes only the molded articles of a gas generating agent, andthe molded articles of the gas generating agent in the combustion chamber include guanidine nitrate, basic copper nitrate, carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt, and aluminum hydroxide, and have a combustion temperature of about 1200 to 1700°
