Patent ID: 7837956

Claim:
A gas generation apparatus assuming a constitution in which an apparatus main body is equipped with a gas generating agent-storing vessel storing a solid gas generating agent and a reaction liquid storing vessel storing a reaction liquid; and the gas generating agent-storing vessel and the reaction liquid-storing vessel are provided with porous bodies having capillary force; and both the porous bodies are brought into contact to make a capillary-active connection between the porous bodies stored in the vessels so that the reaction liquid is supplied into the gas generating agent-storing vessel to generate gas, wherein the gas generated is discharged to the outside of the apparatus main body via a sealing valve mounted in the apparatus main body, and wherein when a pressure of the gas generated is raised in the apparatus main body by closing the sealing valve, the reaction liquid-storing vessel or the gas generating agent-storing vessel in the apparatus main body is moved by the pressure, whereby the porous bodies in the vessels fall in a non-contact state to shut off the capillary-active connection.
