Integral Projectile Squid For Air Bag Inflators
US Patent:
5622381, Apr 22, 1997
Filed:
Jun 7, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/660646
Inventors:
G. Dean Mossi - Roy UT
Mark B. Woodbury - North Salt Lake UT
Alan D. Kendrick - Hooper UT
Mark B. Woodbury - North Salt Lake UT
Alan D. Kendrick - Hooper UT
Assignee:
Morton International, Inc. - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B60R 2126
US Classification:
280737
Abstract:
Integrally incorporated in a squib is a locking feature that allows a projectile to be attached to it any time between assembly of the squib and installation of the squib into the inflator. This design enhances the safety of the squib by permitting handling without the projectile attached. It also minimizes the number of parts required to perform the function of rupturing a burst disk in an inflator by combining the function of the projectile with the protective covering of the squib body.
High Pressure Resistant Initiator With Integral Metal Oxide Varistor For Electro-Static Discharge Protection
US Patent:
5932832, Aug 3, 1999
Filed:
Apr 15, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/632700
Inventors:
David D. Hansen - Clearfield UT
Mark B. Woodbury - North Salt Lake UT
Virginia E. Chandler - Ogden UT
David B. Monk - Kaysville UT
Harry W. Miller - Ogden UT

Assignee:
Autoliv ASP, Inc. - Ogden UT
International Classification:
F42B 3182
US Classification:
1022024
Abstract:
A resistant initiator for an automobile passenger restraint system which includes a shell casing having an upper chamber and a lower chamber. Contact pins connect the initiator to a mating electrical connector of a vehicle. A metal oxide varistor disposed in the shell casing provides electrostatic discharge and EMI/RFI rotection for the initiator. A glass to metal seal header is formed in the shell casing and includes an integrated circuit for igniting the pyrotechnic material disposed in a charge holder attached to the shell casing.
Inflator Initiator With Zener Diode Electrostatic Discharge Protection
US Patent:
5672841, Sep 30, 1997
Filed:
Dec 15, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/574426
Inventors:
David B. Monk - Kaysville UT
Mark B. Woodbury - North Salt Lake UT
David D. Hansen - Clearfield UT
Mark B. Woodbury - North Salt Lake UT
David D. Hansen - Clearfield UT
Assignee:
Morton International, Inc. - Chicago IL
International Classification:
F42B 318, F42C 1912
US Classification:
1022024
Abstract:
An initiator with electrostatic discharge protection includes a generally cup-shaped housing having an open end, a quantity of pyrotechnic material in the housing, and a seal for closing the housing open end and encapsulating the pyrotechnic material within the housing. A pair of electrodes in contact with the pyrotechnic material extend through the seal. A zener diode is coupled in electrical circuit between the housing and one of the electrodes to provide a path for electrostatic discharge and to prevent electrostatic discharge from affecting the pyrotechnic material.
Ultra Low Cost Inflator Device And Method Of Manufacturing Such
US Patent:
6286864, Sep 11, 2001
Filed:

Assignee:
Autoliv ASp, Inc. - Ogden UT
International Classification:
B60R 2128
US Classification:
280741
Abstract:
An inflator assembly for an airbag safety system that comprises a container having a chamber configured to hold pressurized gases, an igniting assembly for producing exit gases and a diffusing assembly to vent the exit gases. The container is provided with an end closure that is composed of a material having a substantial silicon content. The diffusing assembly includes a diffuser cap and a burst disk. The diffuser cap has a number of apertures formed therein that allow the exit gases to be released when the burst disk ruptures. The igniting assembly is configured such that it may be coupled to the end closure and capable of withstanding a heat treatment process that bonds the igniting assembly, end closure and container together to form a one-piece structure.
Hybrid Adaptive Inflator For Airbags
US Patent:
5582428, Dec 10, 1996
Filed:
May 20, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/651010
Inventors:
Eric S. Buchanan - North Ogden UT
Bradley W. Smith - Ogden UT
Mark B. Woodbury - North Salt Lake UT
Bradley W. Smith - Ogden UT
Mark B. Woodbury - North Salt Lake UT
Assignee:
Morton International, Inc. - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B60R 2126
US Classification:
280741
Abstract:
A hybrid adaptive airbag inflator. The inflator includes two separate chambers, each containing a quantity of stored inert gas. Each chamber additionally includes a heating device to heat the stored gas. To provide adaptive performance, one, or the other, or both of the heating devices may be fired, depending upon the severity of the collision. The heated stored gas increases in pressure and breaks free of the chamber to inflate the cushion. The two chambers are preferably provided with restricted gas communication, to equalize pressure between the chambers over time. This restricted communication maintains the chambers essentially separate over the short time periods associated with inflation. Over time, however, the communication will permit any unfired chamber to depressurize, providing increased safety.
