ABSTRACT:
A firing mechanism for a percussion cap for a pyrotechnic device in which a firing pin is mounted on the underside of a leaf spring. The spring is normally unstressed but can be drawn back and stressed by manual withdrawal of a device engaged beneath the spring. Release of the stressed spring brings down the firing pin on the percussion cap to fire it.
