An adaptive multi-stage inflator for inflating an air bag in an air bag safety system. The adaptive multi-stage inflator comprises a housing, a primary igniter assembly and a secondary igniter assembly. The housing has a top wall, a bottom wall and a side wall, which together define an interior chamber therebetween. The primary igniter assembly is disposed in the interior chamber of the housing and is configured to initiate the generation of a primary inflation fluid to inflate an air bag. The secondary igniter assembly is also disposed in the interior chamber of said housing. The secondary igniter assembly is configured to augment the primary inflation fluid by producing a secondary inflation fluid to further inflate the air bag. The inflator also includes a bypass assembly that is configured to provide the secondary inflation fluid to the air bag at substantially the same temperature as it was produced by the secondary igniter assembly, thereby increasing the pressure of the primary inflation fluid. The bypass assembly comprises a bypass passage configured such that the secondary igniter assembly is in direct fluid communication with the air bag. The bypass assembly has a retainer disk which in combination with the interior surface of the housing defines the bypass passage. The inflator also includes a filter disposed in the housing proximate to the side wall thereof to prevent the passage of particulates. The bypass assembly is configured to direct the secondary inflation fluid to the air bag without the secondary inflation fluid passing through the filter. Both the primary igniter assembly and the secondary igniter assembly comprises a quantity of igniter material.

An initiator assembly capable of guaranteeing the assured operation of a gas generator by assuring the structure of connection between a metal collar and an electric initiator to prevent the entry of moisture into the gas generator, comprising the electric initiator and the metal collar surrounding at least a part of the electric initiator formed integrally with each other with resin, wherein at least either of an annular projected part and a tubular projected part provided in a direction that surrounds the electric initiator is formed on the metal collar, and the projected part is covered with the resin.

An igniter includes: an igniter assembly including an igniter main body having an ignition portion adapted to be ignited by an ignition electric current; an igniter collar which accommodates the igniter main body; a cup body having an opening portion, the igniter assembly and the cup body being connected to each other, such that at least the ignition portion of the igniter main body is surrounded by the cup body; and a tubular crimp case that connects and fastens at least a part of an exterior surface of the igniter collar and at least a part of an exterior surface of the cup body from an outside.

The invention provides a single-tube combustor device of a ground combustion gas turbine. The single-tube combustor device of the ground combustion gas turbine comprises a casing and a flame tube arranged in the casing. A natural gas inlet pipeline is arranged on the top of the flame tube in an externally connected mode. A first-stage beveling hole whirlcone and a second-stage radial whirlcone which are opposite in rotation direction are arranged in the neck position of the flame tube sequentially from top to bottom. The first-stage beveling hole whirlcone is of a circular truncated cone structure and provided with a through hole enabling the side wall and the bottom face to communicate. The two stages of whirlcones are each provided with a Venturi tube. An igniter assembly, a main combustion hole and a mixing hole are formed in the side wall of the flame tube sequentially from top to bottom. A plurality of tiny full-coverage air film cooling holes are formed in the surface of the flame tube. A pair of symmetrical air inlets are formed in the side wall of the casing, and a convergence outlet is formed in the tail of the flame tube. By arranging the two stages of whirlcones on the neck of the flame tube and arranging the main combustion hole, the mixing hole and the tiny cooling holes in the flame tube, reasonable distribution of a combustion flow field, outlet temperature and wall temperature and reasonable temperature rise of a combustor can be achieved, and the service life of the flame tube is prolonged.

A core gun igniter assembly features a resistor under 50 ohms that is welded rather than soldered to a circuit. Upon energizing the circuit, the resistor creates the heat needed to directly set off the propellant to directly drive the core barrel into the surrounding formation to obtain the desired core sample. The use of a titanium powder ignition mix on a nichrome wire with its attendant safety risks is eliminated.

The invention discloses a low-cost and simple unit round-to-square plug nozzle test device, which comprises an igniter assembly, an injector assembly, a thrust chamber assembly, a plug cone assembly, a thrust measuring support table frame assembly and an ejection exhaust tube, wherein the injector assembly is provided with a hydrogen cavity and an oxygen cavity, a hydrogen and oxygen gas direct flow spray nozzle with the single hydrogen and oxygen injection function is arranged in the hydrogen cavity, the igniter assembly formed by three layers of sleeves is arranged inside the injector assembly, the injector assembly is connected with the thrust chamber assembly with a round-to-square inner nozzle, the plug cone assembly and the thrust chamber assembly are connected, are supported by the thrust measuring support table frame assembly and can forwards and backwards slide on the support table frame assembly, a platform with an installing thrust frame is also arranged on the support table frame assembly, and the back part of the plug cone is positioned in the ejection exhaust tube. The low-cost and simple unit round-to-square plug nozzle test device has the advantages that the structure is simple, the measurement precision is high, the cost is low, in addition, the application range is wide, the study content is rich, and the repeated use for many times can be realized.

An inflator (10) is provided for supplying gas to a vehicle airbag from the combustion of pyrotechnic materials. The inflator (10) has a two-piece inflator body (12) held together by crimping the body components, rather than welding. An igniter assembly (18) is positioned in a bore (22) in an upper piece (14) of the inflator body and is held in place with a press-fit interface and an adhesive seal. The upper piece (14) of the inflator body is rounded, increasing its strength, and fits partially into the lower piece (16). A booster tube is unnecessary, making the inflator lighter in weight and increasing available volume for propellant.

The electric pyrotechnic igniter of the present invention comprises a controlled power source providing low-voltage electricity to one or more remotely located, replaceable ignition elements which are housed in compression clips capable of holding the ignition elements into direct contact with firework fuses.

The present invention provides a gas generator including a metallic housing, an ignition device including an igniter assembly, and gas generating agent, the igniter assembly including an igniter main body fixed to a metallic cylindrical fixing member with a resin and a connector-connecting portion for fitting a connector, at least part of the metallic cylindrical fixing member being electro-conductive to the housing, and including an exposed portion exposed to an inner surface of the connector-connecting portion, the exposed portion of the metallic cylindrical fixing member serving as a ground terminal, when the connector is connected to the connector-connecting portion, the ground terminal being in contact with an earth terminal of the connector, a grounding lead wire of the connector being grounded to a ground circuit located outside the gas generator.

A parachute flare igniter assembly includes a novel safety for arresting the motion of a slider when subjected to external forces, but allows slider motion when subjected to intended cable actuation forces. The igniter safety includes a housing, a slider, a cable and a sleeve. The slider, connected to the cable, is slidably received within the housing. The cable moves the slider by applying a cable force conventionally obtained by actuation of a parachute associated with the flare and connected to an end of the cable opposite an end connected to the slider. The sleeve is connected to the cable and is disposed between the housing and the slider, so that the sleeve will arrest the slider with respect to the housing when the cable force is not present. A flare and a method of providing a safety in an igniter assembly is also provided.
