Abstract

A multistage inflating-type hybrid inflator in which a malfunction does not occur is provided.When a first gas generating chamber 130 is first burnt, a combustion gas flowed out of first communication holes 136 advances in a direction towards an inner wall of an inflator housing 102 but it does not flow in a direction towards a second gas generating chamber 140. For this reason, the malfunction of the second gas generating chamber 140 cannot occur due to heat energy of the combustion gas.
