Duplex firing inflator
First Claim
1. A structural component for a duplex firing inflator, the duplex inflator having a housing with at least one gas exit port and an external wall having a single mounting opening for use in association with initiator devices or assemblies, the structural component comprising:
- a molded element integrally molded with the external wall of the inflator housing at the mounting opening in the external wall, the molded element containing a duplex firing initiator assembly including a primary initiator operatively associated with a primary pyrotechnic output composition and a secondary initiator operatively associated with a secondary pyrotechnic output composition anda single connector in electrical operative association with the primary and the secondary initiators.
