Claim:
1. An inflator for a protective device in a vehicle, comprising: a diffuser forming a substantially rotation-symmetric external housing of the inflator with a closing member, wherein the diffuser includes a plurality of discharge orifices arranged in a row, and which are of circular shape; and a combustion chamber sleeve which at least partially encloses a combustion chamber filled with fuel, the combustion chamber sleeve extending along a central axis and having a first end abutting the diffuser at a contact point and a second end positioned at an axial extent of the combustion chamber opposite the contact point, wherein the combustion chamber sleeve is designed to tilt about the contact point in response to pressure formed during combustion of the fuel so as to release a discharge orifice at the second end leading out of the combustion chamber into a further combustion chamber of the inflator, for a combustion gas formed during combustion of the fuel.
