Abstract:
1. A system for projecting light elements in the air, comprising: a casing connected to a reservoir containing the light elements and comprising an opening extending along a determined direction; a slide capable of sliding in the opening along the determined direction; a striker arranged in the opening and fixed with respect to the casing; a spring for sliding the slide in the opening; a shoulder blocking the slide with respect to the casing in a stop position; a compressed gas cartridge being slid along with the slide, wherein when the spring slides the slide until it is blocked in the stop position, the kinetic energy of the compressed gas cartridge then projects the compressed gas cartridge against the striker to be opened by the striker; a channel for leading the gases released on opening of the cartridge towards the reservoir; at least one protrusion extending from the slide and for blocking the slide with respect to the casing in an arming position in which the slide is more distant from the striker than in the stop position; at least one flexible member for releasing the slide to slide into the opening from the arming position; and a socket arranged at one end of the opening, the striker being fastened to the socket, the socket comprising at least one protrusion capable of cooperating with the slide to place the slide in the arming position.
