Abstract
A gas generator for a restraining apparatus includes a housing, an inner tube member within the housing, an ignition device on a bottom portion of the housing within the inner tube member, a solid gas generating agent in a combustion chamber, and an adsorbent separated from the solid gas generating agent and stored in a cup-shaped container. The container is provided such that a gap is formed between an opening portion of the container and a ceiling portion of the housing or a member in the housing, and a bottom portion side of the container is inserted such that at least a part of an outer circumferential wall surface of the container directly opposes an inner circumferential wall surface of the inner tube member. At activation, the container is moved by an impact and abuts against the ceiling portion of the housing or the member to close the opening portion.
