Gas generator and container

A gas generator comprising:

• an igniter;
• a container including a container body and a lid formed relative to the container body and configured to contain a transfer charge, the container being positioned relative to the igniter to allow combustion of the transfer charge by actuation of the igniter disposed outside the container;
• and
• a housing configured to contain the igniter and the container, a predetermined region in the housing adjacent to the lid of the container being filled with a gas generating agent to be burned by a combustion product of the transfer charge burned by actuation of the igniter,
• wherein the lid includes a frangible section configured to be capable of being ruptured by pressure applied by a combustion product generated by
• combustion of the transfer charge and
• a strong connection section configured to be capable of maintaining a connected state with the container body even in a case that pressure is applied by the combustion product,
• the lid is configured such that in a case that the transfer charge is burned by actuation of the igniter, the frangible section is ruptured, and a portion or an entirety of the lid in a state of being connected to the container body with the strong connection section regulates discharge of the combustion product generated by the combustion of the transfer charge in a direction toward a predetermined combustion start area of the gas generating agent filled in the housing, and
• the container is positioned in the housing, offset from a center axis of the gas generator, with the strong connection section positioned on the side opposite to or farthest from a center axis of the gas generator.
