Zusammenfassung:An inflator ( 40 ) includes structure defining a fluid storage chamber ( 50 ) and an exit passage ( 94 ). A fluid ( 52 ) stored in the chamber ( 50 ), when heated beyond a predetermined temperature, undergoes one of combustion, thermal decomposition, or a change of state to result in inflation fluid. An ignitor ( 82 ), when actuated, heats the fluid ( 52 ) beyond the predetermined temperature and produces an ignitor jet ( 210 ) of combustion products directed in a first direction into the chamber ( 50 ). An ignitor jet deflector ( 200 ) deflects the ignitor jet ( 210 ) in a second direction transverse to the first direction.
