ABSTRACT:
An improved pyrotechnic cap capable of being activated by the radiant energy from an adjacent flashlamp. The cap includes a plastic container with a quantity of pyrotechnic composition hermetically sealed therein. Receipt of the described radiant energy causes activation of the composition whereby the cap produces an audible signal of high intensity (e.g. 158 to 164 decibels at 25 centimeters). The improvement comprises adding a desiccant material within the cap's container atop the pyrotechnic composition to absorb any quantities of moisture which might enter the container and adversely affect the cap's operability.
