Claim:
A gas generator for a vehicle passenger protection device comprising: a combustion chamber in which a gas-generating charge is arranged; a conical deposition chamber comprising: a first wall, a plurality of gas through-holes formed in the first wall, a second wall which extends at an angle from the first wall, at least one blow-off hole formed in the second wall, a third wall; and a gas generator housing; wherein the second wall is formed by a side wall of the gas generator housing; wherein the third wall is formed by a bottom or cover area of the gas generator housing; and wherein the gas generator is configured such that gas generated inside the combustion chamber enters the deposition chamber through the gas through-holes, the gas after streaming through the gas through-holes strikes the second wall of the deposition chamber, the gas thereby undergoing a redirection, the gas subsequently strikes the third wall of the deposition chamber, the gas thereby undergoing a further redirection, and the gas then leaves the deposition chamber through the at least one blow-off hole.
