Abstract
The present invention provides a gas generator for an air bag where an operation performance is excellent and an amount of NOx generation is reduced. When a flame from a second igniter 32 advances just upwardly to ignite and burn a transfer charge 36, flame-transferring holes 46 communicating with a second combustion chamber 25 are not exactly opposite to the advancing direction of the flame. Therefore, after the whole of the transfer charge 36 is burnt, large ignition energy is discharged from the flame-transferring holes 46 into the second combustion chamber 25.
