Abstract:
A cold gas generator for an airbag system, the cold gas generator comprising:a storage device (1) filled with a gas (2) under pressure and having a gas outlet opening (3), a thin-walled sealing disk (4) which, in a rest state, seals pressure-tightly the gas outlet opening (3); a support device (5) for supporting the sealing disk (4) against a gas pressure of the gas (2) acting on the sealing disk (4) in a pressure direction; a triggering device (6) configured to act on the support device (5); wherein the support device (5) comprises a pressure plate (7) resting against the sealing disk (4) and a support lever (8) supporting the pressure plate (7) and the sealing disk (4); wherein the pressure plate (7) and the support lever (8) are configured as separate parts; a bearing (9) supporting the support lever (8) such that the support lever (8) receives forces in the pressure direction and is force-free transversely to the pressure direction; and wherein the triggering device (6) acts on the support lever (8) so as to cause pivoting about the bearing (9).
