Abstract
Inflator device assemblies wherein an igniter composition used to ignite an associated gas generant material is provided on a selected surface, such as on a damper pad, within the inflator device. Suitable igniter compositions may include a silicone resin additive effective to adhere the igniter composition to a surface within the inflator device.
Claims26
A method of including an igniter material within an inflator device, said method comprising:
- applying an igniter material composition which includes an igniter fuel, an igniter oxidizer and a silicone resin additive effective to adhere the igniter material composition to an inner surface of the inflator device.
A method of providing an igniter material for inclusion within an inflator device which contains at least one damper pad, said method comprising:
- coating a damper pad substrate with an igniter material composition which includes an igniter fuel, an igniter oxidizer and an additive effective to adhere the igniter material composition to the damper pad substrate.
A method of including an igniter material within an inflator assembly, said method comprising:
- applying an igniter material composition which includes an igniter fuel, an igniter oxidizer and an additive effective to adhere the igniter material composition to a selected non-gas generant target surface which the inflator assembly.
