Abstract
A pressurized gas mechanism contains a sealed gas container containing a sealed first end, and, a burst cup sealing the first end and containing a rupturable portion. A housing encases the burst cup and is juxtaposed to at least a portion of the sealed gas container, the housing containing a surface juxtaposed to the rupturable portion. Upon actuation of the mechanism, the rupturable portion is adapted to rupture as the rupturable portion is leveraged against the surface, thereby releasing gas from the sealed gas container.
