ABSTRACT:
An ignition device for mines, in particular training mines. The device includes a percussion bolt which is mechanically held in an inoperative position and is loaded by the action of a coil spring so that when released it is propelled axially towards a pyrophoric ignition charge to initiate an ignition chain.
The ignition device is of simple and inexpensive construction and can be mechanically released by forces acting in a variety of directions. The device includes a cylindrical housing in which a percussion bolt and actuating lever are mounted one behind the other in axial alignment. A plurality of cup-shaped members, preferably a pair, are mounted in the housing so as to surround at least a portion of the actuating lever and percussion bolt. Upon actuation of the lever by applying a force thereto in a predetermined direction the cup-shaped members are spread apart against a biasing force to release the percussion bolt in the firing direction.
