Abstract:
Electronic-mechanical ignition delay for cartridge-type pyrotechnic decoy ammunition containing a cylindrical cartridge (10) with an ignition device in the bottom, a propellent (2) for the ejection of the inflammable active mass (8) and devices for the delayed ignition of the active mass (8), characterised in that the electrical ignition unit (1) of the propellent (2) is galvanically connected with a capacitor element (3) fixed in the propulsion reflector (4) whiten in turn is galvanically connected with a mechanical switch-on element (7) in the active mass (8), whereby the mechanical switch-on element (7) is also galvanically connected with an electrical ignition unit (9) in the active mass (8), whereby the switch-on procedure is initiated by the relative movement of the active mass (8) along the cartridge axis away from the propulsion reflector (4).
