Abstract
This invention relates to an air bag inflation gas generator to feed combustion gas for inflation of air bags such as air bags for absorbing collision shocks, life jackets, rafts, and escape chutes. When the generator is exposed to a high temperature environment such as fire and a temperature of a second end plate rises, heat of the second end plate is transmitted to an ignition agent via a heat sensing means, the ignition agent is ignited at a temperature thoroughly lower than the firing temperature of gas generating agents, and the gas generating agents burn.
