Conventionally, in this type of device, it is well known that two heating detonators are connected in parallel and energized at the same time to provide redundancy so that even if one has an open failure, the other will operate. be. However, in this case, even if one of the two is short-circuited, the other needs to be constructed so that it can operate normally. Therefore, in view of this point, a resistive element is connected in series to each of the heat-generating detonators, and even if one of the heat-generating detonators is shot, a sufficient current flows through the remaining heat-generating detonators. A device with a set resistance value is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 42737/1983.

However, in such a conventional device, the number of components increases due to the connection of the resistive element, and the number of connection points (connectors) between the resistive element and the conductive wire also increases, which deteriorates reliability. In particular, extremely high reliability is required for occupant protection systems that protect occupants during vehicle impacts, but the increase in the number of parts and connection points as described above has a negative impact on reliability. There is a practical problem in that it lowers the temperature.

The objective is to provide an occupant protection device that is highly practical and reliable.

Among the electrical wirings, wirings 7, 8, 14, and 15 are not commonly used high-conductivity wires, but are resistance wires having a predetermined resistance value. For example, nichrome wire is suitable. The feature of the device of the present invention is that the resistance wires 7, 8, 14, 15 are used as they are as part of the electrical wiring necessary to energize the detonators 5, 6, 11, 12 without using extra connectors. It is. Note that the connectors marked with a circle are those that are normally used, and there are no additional parts.

By having the above configuration, the detonator 5,
Even if one side of the detonator is firing, if the G sensors 3 and 4 are closed, a voltage drop will occur in the resistance wires 7 and 8 due to the energization from the battery 1, and a voltage drop will occur on the side where the detonator is firing. The remaining normal detonators can be powered and activated. The same applies to the detonators 11 and 12. That is, even if any of the four detonators fires, the remaining detonators can be energized.
