Fireworks igniter system and method

摘要

A fireworks igniter system and method for safely igniting fuse-type fireworks including a handheld igniter module (1) and a remote control module (2). An igniter head at the proximal end of the igniter module (1) includes a heater element (24) and fuse clamp slide (10-12) which receives and biasingly molds the fuse (70) against the heater element (24). A microprocessor (64) in the igniter module (1) includes an infrared receiver (54) and an igniter module actuator (14,16). The remote control module (2) includes an infrared emitter (84) and a remote control module actuator (90), the infrared emitter (84) emitting a coded IR signal in response to activation of the actuator (90). The IR signal is sensed by the infrared receiver (54) to activate the igniter module actuator (14,16) and deliver electric current to the heater element (24) sufficient to ignite the fuse (70).
