In the pretensioner, a guiding wall is provided in a generator-side passing portion of a gas passing portion, and an inner portion of the generator-side passing portion at a portion where the guard wall is set is located to a base end rather than a tip end of a wire protective cylinder.

In the pretensioner, a guiding wall is provided in a generator-side passing portion of a gas passing portion, and an inner portion of the generator-side passing portion at a portion where the guard wall is set is located to a base end rather than a tip end of a wire protective cylinder. Further, a gas generator mounting hole and the generator-side passing portion is inclined to be directed the base end of the wire protective cylinder. For this reason, gas that is jetted from a gas generator is blown to the base end of the wire protective cylinder or a surrounding portion thereof. As a result, even though the thickness of the wire protective cylinder is not set to be large, it can be against pressure of the blown gas.

1. A pretensioner comprising: a cylinder whose one end portion opens and that slidably accommodates therein a piston;a connecting member, a tip end portion of which is connected to: an anchor to which a tip end portion in a longitudinal direction of a webbing belt configuring a seat belt device is connected, ora buckle to which a tongue provided at an intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the webbing belt is attached, anda base end portion of which is connected to the piston, the base end portion of the connecting member being pulled by the piston sliding toward another end of the cylinder so that the connecting member moves toward the other end of the cylinder;a gas generating section that generates gas by being activated;a pretensioner body at which a cylinder mounting portion, a gas generating section mounting portion and a gas passing portion are formed,the one end portion of the cylinder being mounted in the cylinder mounting portion, the gas generating section being mounted in the gas generating section mounting portion provided at a position different from a position of the cylinder mounting portion, andthe gas passing portion linking the cylinder mounting portion and the gas generating section mounting portion such that the gas generated at the gas generating section passes therein toward the cylinder, and the connecting member which passes through the one end portion of the cylinder and extends to the anchor or the buckle passes through the gas passing portion;a through hole formed at the pretensioner body, whose one end portion opens at an inner peripheral portion of the gas passing portion and whose other end portion opens at an outer surface of the pretensioner body, the connecting member which passes through the gas passing portion and extends to the anchor or the buckle passing through the through hole;a guard section axially extending from an edge of the one end portion of the through hole toward an inside of the gas passing portion, and existing between the gas generating section and the connecting member, the guard section suppressing the gas generated at the gas generating section from being blown on to the connecting member; anda gas guiding section provided at the inside of the gas passing portion between the guard section and the gas generating section mounting portion, the gas guiding section guiding the gas generated at the gas generating section toward a base end portion of the guard section,wherein the gas passing portion includes a gas generating section side gas passing portion at which the gas generating section mounting portion is provided, a cylinder side gas passing portion at which the cylinder mounting portion is provided, and a bent portion located between the gas generating section side gas passing portion and the cylinder side gas passing portion wherein an outlet end of the gas generating section side gas passing portion is defined in part by a side of the bent portion, the outlet end having an axial extent that is less than an axial extent of the guard section and that does not overlap a tip end of the guard section. 2. The pretensioner of claim 1, wherein the gas guiding section is formed such that a jetting direction of the gas generated at the gas generating section is inclined toward the other end portion of the through hole with respect to a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the connecting member located in the gas passing portion. 3. The pretensioner of claim 1, wherein the gas guiding section is formed such that a direction from the gas generating section side gas passing portion toward the bent portion is inclined toward the other end portion of the through hole with respect to a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the connecting member located in the cylinder side gas passing portion so that the gas passing through the gas generating section side gas passing portion is directed toward the base end portion of the guard section. 4. The pretensioner of claim 1, wherein the gas generating section mounting portion is formed to have a tube shape, whose one end portion which is at a side of the gas passing portion communicates with the gas passing portion and whose other end portion which is at a side opposite to the gas passing portion opens, the gas generating section being mounted at the other end portion of the gas generating section mounting portion, andthe gas guiding section provided at the inside of the gas passing portion is formed such that an opening center of the one end portion of the gas generating section mounting portion is offset with respect to an opening center of the other end portion of the gas generating section mounting portion, in a direction opposite to an extending direction of the guard section from the edge of the one end portion of the through hole. 5. The pretensioner of claim 4, wherein the gas guiding section is formed such that a jetting direction of the gas generated at the gas generating section is inclined toward the other end portion of the through hole with respect to a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the connecting member located in the gas passing portion.
