Pyrotechnic Inflator For A Vehicular Airbag System
US Patent:
2004020, Oct 14, 2004
Filed:
Apr 8, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/408992
Inventors:
Nyle Longhurst - Layton UT, US
Marcus Clark - Kaysville UT, US
Marcus Clark - Kaysville UT, US
International Classification:
B60R021/26
US Classification:
280/741000
Abstract:
A pyrotechnic inflator for an airbag module is disclosed. The pyrotechnic inflator may have a generally tubular housing that contains an initiator, a baffle, and a quantity of inflation gas generant. The generant is disposed in a compartment defined by the baffle. The baffle has a passageway with a first end and a second end. Direct fluid communication between the first and second ends is restricted by a blockage within the passageway. Upon receipt of an activation signal, the initiator directs initiation gas into the first end. The initiation gas may exit the first end through a plurality of first end holes to reach and ignite the generant with or without requiring any intermediate igniter material. The generant combusts to produce inflation gas, which enters the second end of the passageway through a plurality of second end holes. The inflation gas exits the inflator to inflate a cushion.
Gas Generation Device With Consumable Ignitor Tube
US Patent:
7950692, May 31, 2011
Filed:
Dec 14, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/956514
Inventors:
Marcus T. Clark - Kaysville UT, US

Assignee:
Autoliv ASP, Inc. - Ogden UT
International Classification:
B60R 21/26
US Classification:
280741
Abstract:
A gas generation device includes an elongated housing and an ignitor tube. The elongated housing defines a generant bed. The ignitor tube is disposed within the housing and extends at least substantially along the entire length of the generant bed. The ignitor tube defines an unobstructed path for ignitor gases to travel into the generant bed. The ignitor tube is constructed of a consumable material.
Packaging System For Retaining Propulsive Devices
US Patent:
8505723, Aug 13, 2013
Filed:
Jun 2, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/792127
Inventors:
Marcus T. Clark - Kaysville UT, US

Assignee:
Autoliv Asp, Inc. - Ogden UT
International Classification:
B65D 85/20, B65D 1/34, A47F 1/04
US Classification:
206443, 206446, 206562, 206565, 211 601
Abstract:
A packaging fixture may include a first member including a plurality of first generally round apertures and a plurality of first elongated apertures. The first member may include a thickness from a first side to an opposite second side and each of the plurality of first round apertures and the plurality of elongated apertures may extend through the thickness of the first member. Each of the plurality of elongated apertures may be connected to and extend from a corresponding one of the plurality of first round apertures. Each of the plurality of first round apertures may be adapted to receive a portion of a propulsive device. The first member may be adapted to retain the propulsive device when a protrusion of the propulsive device is misaligned with a corresponding one of the plurality of elongated apertures.
Expanding Airbag Inflator Housing
US Patent:
7370884, May 13, 2008
Filed:
Mar 2, 2004
Appl. No.:

Assignee:
Autoliv ASP, Inc. - Ogden UT
International Classification:
B60R 21/26
US Classification:
280740, 280736, 2807282
Abstract:
An airbag inflator diffusion system having a thin profile. The diffusion system includes an airbag inflator that is inserted into a sleeve. The sleeve has overlapping longitudinal edges positioned so that the sleeve tightly circumscribes the inflator. Engagement tabs are formed in one longitudinal edge of the sleeve and fold through perforations formed adjacent the other longitudinal edge. Upon activation of the inflator, the sleeve expands radially forming an exhaust passage through which exhaust gas may travel. The folded engagement tabs and their corresponding perforations limit the radial expansion of the sleeve.
External Filter For Cushion Damage Prevention
US Patent:
7926843, Apr 19, 2011
Filed:
Apr 16, 2008
Appl. No.:

Assignee:
Autoliv ASP, Inc. - Ogden UT
International Classification:
B60R 21/16
US Classification:
280740, 280741
Abstract:
An inflator includes a generant chamber that houses a quantity of gas generant. The chamber has a plurality of gas exit holes that are positioned along the length of the generant chamber. A filter is added exterior of the chamber. In fact, the filter may be positioned on the exterior of the generant chamber. Straps may encircle the inflator. The straps are attached to studs that will operate to mount the inflator. The position of the straps may be adjusted and tailored to apportion the amount of inflation gas that is directed into each chamber of a multi-chambered or two-chambered airbag.
