Abstract

The present invention provides a hybrid inflator capable of adjusting an amount of a pressurized medium and a material of a gas generating agent to meet the requirements.An outer shell of a first gas generating chamber 130 is formed by an inflator housing 101 and a second gas generating chamber housing 146, and an outer shell of a second gas generating chamber 140 is formed by the second gas generating chamber housing 146. For this reason, even when the requirement for downsizing and reducing weight is met, an amount of a gas generating agent does not have to be reduced.
