Patent ID: 8863664

Claim:
An igniter assembly comprising: an igniter body having an ignition portion and an electroconductive pin; a substantially cylindrical collar surrounding and retaining the igniter body; and a tubular holder disposed inside the collar and surrounding the electroconductive pin to allow the electroconductive pin to be connected to a connector connected to a lead wire for supplying ignition current to the electroconductive pin to activate the igniter body, the tubular holder defining, therein, an open internal space for receiving and accommodating the connector, the igniter body, the collar and the tubular holder, being separate members from one another, being integrated by a resin, the tubular holder having a tubular body portion and a convex portion extending from the tubular body portion in the diametrical direction of the tubular holder, at least the convex portion being covered by the resin, and the open internal space being defined by an inner circumferential surface of the tubular body portion exposed to the open internal space and the resin such that the electroconductive pin protrudes from the resin to the open internal space, and the connector being configured to be connected to the electroconductive pin within the open internal space, and the tubular holder having a fitting portion formed in the inner circumferential surface of the tubular body portion, the fitting portion being configured to engage with an engaging portion, provided to the connector, when the connector is received in the open internal space to prevent the connector from disconnecting from the electroconductive pin.
