An actuator includes a piston having an actuating pin, a squib, and a
cylinder case. The cylinder case has a peripheral wall part that covers
the circumference of the piston and a ceiling wall part having a through
hole which allows an actuating pin to protrude from the through hole. The
actuator is configured to make the a piston move backward along with the
actuating pin by ejecting a driving gas generated from the squib to a
space between the ceiling wall part and the piston during actuation. A
sealing ring which is relatively movable with respect to the actuating
pin while maintaining the state of sealing up a gap between the actuating
pin and the through hole, is provided at an inner face side of the
ceiling wall part.
