There is further provided an arming unit including a battery, and an igniter accommodated in a housing insertable into and removable from the support structure; an ejector for pushing the housing out of the support structure; a locking device for retaining the housing in the inserted position and for preventing the ejector from becoming effective; a timer for placing the locking device in a releasing state after a predetermined period for allowing the ejector to push the housing outwardly; and electrical contacts mounted in the support structure and on the housing. Respective contacts are in engagement with one another in the inserted position of the housing.
