Abstract
A gas generating system includes a housing, a quantity of gas generant material positioned within the housing, and a quantity of booster material positioned in the housing spaced apart from the gas generant. A movable first screen is positioned in the housing such that the booster material is on a first side of the screen and the gas generant material is on a second side of the screen opposite the first side of the screen. The screen is structured to enable fluid communication between the first and second sides of the screen.
Claims20
A gas generating system assembly comprising:
- a housing;
- a quantity of gas generant material positioned within the housing;
- a quantity of booster material positioned in the housing spaced apart from the gas generant;
- a movable first screen positioned in the housing such that the booster material is on a first side of the screen and the gas generant material is on a second side of the screen opposite the first side, the first screen being structured to enable fluid communication between the first and second sides of the screen, and
