inflators
Devices adding air
Inflators are devices that pump air or gas into something—tires, balloons, air mattresses, life vests.
The term also applies figuratively to things that artificially increase values or numbers: Critics called the tax breaks inflators of housing prices.
In automotive safety, airbag inflators are the mechanisms that rapidly fill airbags during a collision.
