Abstract

A gas generator comprises a casing forming a ring or a ring portion and housing a pyrotechnic charge, the casing including at least one vent for ejecting the gas produced during combustion of the charge. Because of its ring design, the gas generator is easy to integrate in the structure of a rotary machine. In particular, it can constitute a starter device for a turbojet.
