Abstract
A chemical gas generant mixture of carbon, an oxidizer which does not contain hydrogen and, optionally, a carbonate or other coolant.
Claims6
A method of supplying generated gas to expand an inflatable safety restraint without the production of substantial water vapor during gas generation, comprising the steps of:
- a. preparing a mixture consisting essentially of:
- 1. an oxidizer which does not contain hydrogen, said oxidizer being selected from the group consisting of metal chlorates and perchlorates;
- 2. a carbon material;
- 3. a carbonate coolant;
- b. burning said mixture to produce a gas;
- and
- c. directing the gas into the inflatable safety restraint.
