Patent ID: 8770109

Claim:
An ejection system comprising: (A) a flare ignition system comprising i. a tubular connecting stub provided with one or more heating elements disposed to heat the tubular connecting stub, wherein the tubular connecting stub has a conically tapering shape, wherein contactless ignition of an ejectable flare occurs due to heat transfer from the tubular connecting stub to a pyrotechnic film of the flare when the tubular connecting stub is heated by the one or more heating elements and when the flare is disposed along an inner wall of the tubular connecting stub, wherein the flare is polygonal in shape and comprises corners, wherein the number of corners is greater than three, and the flare is coated with the pyrotechnic film, wherein when ignited, the flare produces a pyrotechnic signature suitable for producing a camouflage screen for the protection of vehicles and objects; (B) an acceleration unit that is disposed adjacent to the tubular connecting stub of the flare ignition system; and (C) a heat decoupling that is located between the acceleration unit and the tubular connecting stub.
