A wire mesh in which the metal fiber sintered cloth 13 and the ceramic fiber paper 14 are integrated is wound around once, and in that state, the plain weave wire meshes 11 of the winding start portion 20 are joined by spot welding. Next, using this as a core, the wire is further wound around the outer periphery, and finally only the plain weave wire net 11 is wound over three turns. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the end portion of the plain weave wire net 11 is bent inward. In this way, the wound filter 9 is obtained.

る。In the gas generator 1, when an ignition current flows through the squib 3a, the squib 3a operates to ignite the igniting agent 3b. The combustion gas of the igniter 3b is propagated into the combustion chamber 4 through the ignition chamber orifice 7. As a result, the gas generant 6 burns to generate combustion gas and combustion residues. Combustion gas and residue are in the combustion chamber orifice 8
It enters into the cooling collection chamber 5 and is cooled and filtered by the filter 9. Then, the combustion gas is discharged into the airbag (not shown) from the gas outlet 10, and the airbag is inflated and deployed.

Is preferably not located at the gas outlet 10, but as shown in FIG. 1, it may be located at the gas outlet 10 inevitably in the assembly and manufacturing process. Even in this case, in the present invention, since the winding end portion 21 of the filter is folded back inward, there is no risk that the wire mesh will be loosened at this portion or that the single wire of the wire mesh will come off and jump out.

飛び出しが防止される。For example, when a typical gas generator 1 having an airbag capacity of 60 l is operated, about 100 l / sec of gas flows out from one gas outlet 10. Therefore, the wire mesh located at the gas discharge port 10 receives an extremely large force pushed outward. At this time, since the winding end portion 21 of the filter 9 is folded back inward, loosening and popping out of the wire net are prevented.

する。Since the winding end of the cooling filter is folded back inward, when a car equipped with this gas generator collides and the gas generator operates, the gas that passes through this filter becomes gas. It is ejected from the outlet into the airbag. At that time, even if the end of the winding end of the filter is located at the gas outlet, the end of the wire mesh is not loosened due to the outflow pressure of the exhaust gas, and the single wire does not protrude from the gas outlet. Therefore, the filter safely and reliably filters the combustion gas, and there is no risk of damaging the airbag and further injuring an occupant, and as a result, the airbag is reliably inflated and deployed.
