Abstract
This invention relates to an electric device for the ignition of pyrotech substances and more particularly an electric device which operates by electromagnetic induction. The device comprises: An induced member 22 placed in a cartridge containing a pyrotechnic substance within a circular opening of the bottom of the case 20, and an inductor located in a cavity 24 made in the thickness of a firing plate 23. The induced member has at least one open turn 31 connected to at least one heating filament 32, mounted on a thin insulating pellet 30, the inductor is a spiroidal winding 25 whose frequency defines the operating frequency of the generator; the inductor comprises a thermal protection means, a mechanical protection means and sealing means. The device can be used in particular in the field of artillery.
