US12767085 - Gas generator and airbag module assembly
A gas generator includes a gas generating agent that generates gas by combustion, a housing made of metal and accommodating the gas generating agent therein, the housing having a gas discharge port formed therein, through which the gas is emitted to an exterior of the housing, an ignition device configured to ignite the gas generating agent by actuation; and a temperature rise suppressing member provided in contact with an outer surface of a housing to cover at least a part of the outer surface. The temperature rise suppressing member includes an endothermic agent that absorbs heat of the housing by undergoing a chemical change or a state change by the heat of the housing when a temperature of the housing rises due to combustion of a gas generating agent, and a binder agent present together with the endothermic agent such that the temperature rise suppressing member has flexibility.
