Igniter head for a hand grenade and hand grenade provided with such an igniter head

摘要

An ignition cap (1) for a hand grenade (10), comprising a hollow body (4), a lever (20) with a spring strip (22) and a security pin (3), has an igniter (12) with a primer and an interrupter (7) that acts as a fire barrier in the storage position. The interrupter is in the form of a spring-loaded slider (70) of a metal such as zamac, with a fire-proof screen (72) and an aperture (73) that allows fire through when aligned with the primer. The security pin can only be removed after releasing a lock (6) and rotating the barrel (50) of the igniter.
