Abstract
A hybrid inflator in which a weight thereof and the number of manufacturing steps can be reduced is provided. First and second communication holes 125 and 135 by which first and second gas generating chambers 120 and 130 communicate with an inflator housing 102 are formed in a gas generator housing 105. Therefore, no screen is required and thus, the weight and the number of manufacturing steps can be reduced.
