Abstract

A hybrid inflator having improved inflating performance of an air bag is provided. A gas generator provided in a housing 102, in which a pressurized medium is charged under a high pressure, includes a first gas generating chamber 120 and a second gas generating chamber 130. By allowing the two gas generating chambers to generate high-temperature combustion gas, respectively, the inflating speed and the like of the air bag are further improved.
