Claim 16:
17. An airbag inflator comprising:
a lower pressure vessel supporting an initiator assembly;
a booster can centrally mounted in the lower pressure vessel and secured to the initiator assembly;
an energetics canister secured over the booster can such that the energetics canister is positioned radially between the lower pressure vessel and the booster can;
an energetics cover enclosing a circumferential space between the booster can and the energetics canister;
a flow diverter closing the booster can and retaining the energetics cover on the energetics canister, the flow diverter including inlet vent openings downstream of the energetics cover;
an upper pressure vessel positioned over the flow diverter and engaging the lower pressure vessel, the upper pressure vessel including an exit orifice sealed with a rupturable membrane; and
a manifold secured over the upper pressure vessel,
wherein the initiator assembly comprises an initiator, and wherein the initiator assembly is secured in the lower pressure vessel such that the initiator detaches from the initiator assembly upon an excessive increase in internal pressure such that the internal pressure is safely vented without an inflator fragmentation event.
