GAS GENERATOR

The invention shows a gas generator comprising a pressure chamber () filled with compressed gas which is sealed against an environment of the gas generator () by a membrane (), a solid propellant () received in the pressure chamber (), and an igniter unit () adjacent to the pressure chamber (). The solid propellant () is surrounded by a cage-type open fuel holder () receiving the same which protrudes into the pressure chamber () and is directly adjacent to the igniter unit (). Accordingly, the pressure chamber () is free from solid propellant outside the fuel holder ().
