Adaptive heated stage inflator

An adaptive multi-stage inflator for inflating an air bag in an air bag safety system. The adaptive multi-stage inflator comprises a housing, a primary igniter assembly and a secondary igniter assembly. The housing has a top wall, a bottom wall and a side wall, which together define an interior chamber therebetween. The primary igniter assembly is disposed in the interior chamber of the housing and is configured to initiate the generation of a primary inflation fluid to inflate an air bag. The secondary igniter assembly is also disposed in the interior chamber of said housing. The secondary igniter assembly is configured to augment the primary inflation fluid by producing a secondary inflation fluid to further inflate the air bag. The inflator also includes a bypass assembly that is configured to provide the secondary inflation fluid to the air bag at substantially the same temperature as it was produced by the secondary igniter assembly, thereby increasing the pressure of the primary inflation fluid. The bypass assembly comprises a bypass passage configured such that the secondary igniter assembly is in direct fluid communication with the air bag. The bypass assembly has a retainer disk which in combination with the interior surface of the housing defines the bypass passage. The inflator also includes a filter disposed in the housing proximate to the side wall thereof to prevent the passage of particulates. The bypass assembly is configured to direct the secondary inflation fluid to the air bag without the secondary inflation fluid passing through the filter. Both the primary igniter assembly and the secondary igniter assembly comprises a quantity of igniter material.

Evaporative burner

InactiveUS6971235B2Improved evaporation burnerNo longer very powerfulBurnersFuel supply regulationCombustion chamberCombustor
An evaporative burner that includes an igniter assembly, a swirler, an evaporation chamber, and a reverse throat. The reverse throat has raised ends that protrude into the evaporation chamber. The reverse throat in combination with the evaporation chamber and the swirler, facilitate the recirculation of air in the evaporation chamber such that a flame is stabilized near the evaporation chamber walls. This flame gradually evaporates the fuel in the lining of the evaporation chamber. The fuel-air mixture results in a steady and uniformly distributed flame in the combustion chamber. This flame can heat uniformly the walls of the combustion chamber, and thus be applicable for high efficiency and low emissions applications. Furthermore, this burner can start and reach full burner power rapidly.

Igniter assembly actuated by parachute deployment, and flare containing the same

This parachute flare igniter assembly has a novel slider for attaining high reliability in firing efficiency. The slider moves along a raceway of an igniter assembly housing. Also disposed in the housing is a cartridge retained in a stationary state relative to the housing. The cartridge includes a stationary primer and a spring. A striker arm connected to the cartridge is movable into a cocked state in which the spring urges the striker arm towards the primer. The slider has an igniter composition chamber and a cocking wall portion, and is movable in tandem with the igniter composition chamber along at least a portion of the length of said raceway from a loaded position to a firing position. In the loaded position, the striker arm is maintained in the cocked state by the cocking wall portion. In the firing position, the igniter composition chamber is aligned and in communication with the primer and the striker arm is free of the cocking wall portion to permit the spring to drive the striker arm from the cocked state into the primer with the force sufficient to detonate the primer.

Resistor-based Ignition System for a Core Gun

A core gun igniter assembly features a resistor under 50 ohms that is welded rather than soldered to a circuit. Upon energizing the circuit, the resistor creates the heat needed to directly set off the propellant to directly drive the core barrel into the surrounding formation to obtain the desired core sample. The use of a titanium powder ignition mix on a nichrome wire with its attendant safety risks is eliminated.

Igniter safe and arm, igniter assembly and flare so equipped and method of providing a safety for an igniter assembly

A parachute flare igniter assembly includes a novel safety for arresting the motion of a slider when subjected to external forces, but allows slider motion when subjected to intended cable actuation forces. The igniter safety includes a housing, a slider, a cable and a sleeve. The slider, connected to the cable, is slidably received within the housing. The cable moves the slider by applying a cable force conventionally obtained by actuation of a parachute associated with the flare and connected to an end of the cable opposite an end connected to the slider. The sleeve is connected to the cable and is disposed between the housing and the slider, so that the sleeve will arrest the slider with respect to the housing when the cable force is not present. A flare and a method of providing a safety in an igniter assembly is also provided.
