연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

An inflator for inflating an airbag comprising:a housing having an axial centerline and comprising a first housing portion with a diameter d1, said first housing portion defining a first chamber, said housing further comprising a second housing portion with a diameter d2, said second housing portion defining a second chamber; a gas generant disposed in said first and second chambers; a first ignition unit for use in combusting said gas generant disposed in said first chamber; a second ignition unit for use in combusting said gas generant disposed in said second chamber; a barrier extending perpendicular to the axis of the inflator and separating the first and second chambers; a first ignition enhancer tube disposed in said first chamber, a portion of said first ignition unit being located within said first ignition enhancer tube, said first ignition enhancer tube having at least one outlet defined therein, said first ignition enhancer tube capable of holding an ignition enhancer such that when said first ignition unit ignites, said ignition enhancer combusts and exits through said outlet and then reacts with said gas generant; a second ignition enhancer tube disposed in said second chamber, a portion of said second ignition unit being located within said second ignition enhancer tube, said second ignition enhancer tube having at least one outlet defined therein, said second ignition enhancer tube capable of holding an ignition enhancer such that when said second ignition unit ignites, said ignition enhancer combusts and exits through said outlet and then reacts with said gas generant; and wherein said barrier extending perpendicular to the axis of the inflator has a first divider plate connected to said first housing portion and a second divider plate connected to said second housing portion, wherein said first divider plate has a main body; inner and outer annular ribs integrally formed with said main body and forming cavities thereunder; and a circumferentially extending flange portion contacting said second divider plate and said first housing portion. 2. The inflator of claim 1 further comprising: a first filter radially spaced from said first ignition unit and disposed between said gas generant and a gas exit port through said first housing portion; and a second filter radially spaced from said second ignition unit and disposed between said gas generant and a gas exit port through said second housing portion.3. The inflator of claim 1 wherein the housing portions are sized such that diameter d1 is different than diameter d2.4. The inflator of claim 1, wherein said first and second ignition units further comprise: an igniter retainer attached to each respective housing portion; and an igniter attached to each igniter retainer, wherein activation of each igniter causes said gas generant to combust.5. The inflator of claim 1, wherein said first chamber has a first volume and said second chamber has a second volume such that the volume of the first chamber is substantially equal to the volume of the second chamber.6. The inflator of claim 1, wherein said first chamber has a first volume and said second chamber has a second volume such that the volume of the second chamber is less than the volume of the first chamber.7. The inflator of claim 6, wherein said volume of the first chamber ranges from substantially 50% to 80% of a total inflator volume.8. The inflator of claim 7, wherein said volume of the first chamber is in the range of substantially 50% to 70% of the total inflator volume.9. An inflator for inflating an airbag comprising:a housing having an axial centerline and comprising a first housing portion with a diameter d1, said first housing portion defining a first chamber, said housing further comprising a second housing portion with a diameter d2, said second housing portion defining a second chamber; a gas generant disposed in said first and second chambers; a first ignition unit for use in combusting said gas generant disposed in said first chamber; a second ignition unit for use in combusting said gas generant disposed in said second chamber; a barrier extending perpendicular to the axis of the inflator and separating the first and second chambers; a first ignition enhancer tube disposed in said first chamber, a portion of said first ignition unit being located within said first ignition enhancer tube, said first ignition enhancer tube having at least one outlet defined therein said first ignition enhancer tube capable of holding an ignition enhancer such that when said first ignition unit ignites, said ignition enhancer combusts and exits through said outlet and then reacts with said gas generant; a second ignition enhancer tube disposed in said second chamber, a portion of said second ignition unit being located within said second ignition enhancer tube, said second ignition enhancer tube having at least one outlet defined therein, said second ignition enhancer tube capable of holding an ignition enhancer such that when said second ignition unit ignites, said ignition enhancer combusts and exits through said outlet and then reacts with said gas generant; and wherein said barrier extending perpendicular to the axis of the inflator comprises a first divider plate connected to said first housing portion and a second divider plate connected to said second housing portion, said second divider plate having a main body having a circumferentially extending flange portion; inner and outer annular ribs integrally formed with said main body and forming cavities thereunder; and a circumferentially extending rim surrounding said circumferentially extending flange portion such that said circumferentially extending rim contacts an interior wall of said second housing portion. 10.
