[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An airbag inflator, comprising:a housing having an interior and a gas outlet port open to outside the housing and communicating with the interior;divider walls separating at least two chambers from the interior;pressurized combustible gaseous mixtures stored in said at least two chambers;initiators each adapted to actuate at individual ignition timings and disposed within said at least two chambers, said initiators being actuatable to ignite said pressurized combustible gaseous mixtures to rupture said divider walls; andan integrally hinged flap portion forcibly separable from each of said divider walls in response to actuation of said initiators;said integrally hinged flap portion cooperating with the gas outlet port to provide a variety of flow rates of the pressurized combustible gaseous mixture flowing through the gas outlet port out of said housing upon the separation of said integrally hinged flap portion.
