Abstract:
An ignitor plug for a pyrotechnical device, in particular a grenade for hand or mechanical launching, the device comprising a body (104) fitted with a control mechanism comprising a trigger lever (101) and a percussion mechanism (128) co-operating with a primary pyrotechnical module (105) for initiating a charge (119) of the pyrotechnical device, wherein the plug comprises a latch (150) which engages the lever (101) in a storage position to prevent free displacement of the trigger lever (101) towards a release position, the latch (150) being so shaped that during initial operation of the ignitor plug said latch requires the lever (101) to be moved initially in an opposite direction to that required for releasing the percussion mechanism (128) in order to disengage the latch (150) from the trigger lever (101).
