1-10. (canceled)
A method for mounting an inflator (12) within a tube (14), especially a belt tensioner, wherein an and portion (28) of the tube (14) is formed radially inwardly so that a first contact surface (30) directed into the interior of the tube (14) is formed and prior to forming an annular stabilizing disk (34) is arranged between the first contact surface (30) and a second contact surface (32) configured at the inflator (12).
14 The method according to claim 12, wherein the inflator (12) is inserted into the tube (14) by a predetermined fixed dimension.
A subassembly comprising an inflator (12) mounted within a tube (14), especially a belt tensioner, in which an annular stabilizing disk (34) is arranged between a first contact surface (30) at a radially inwardly formed end portion (28) of the tube (14) and a second contact surface (32) at the inflator (12).
17 The subassembly according to claim 15, wherein the stabilizing disk (34) is made of steel sheet.
