Abstract
The invention concerns an igniter plug for a pyrotechnic device, in particular a hand-launch or mechanical launch grenade, comprising a body ( ) provided with a control mechanism including a fly-off lever ( ) and a percussion mechanism ( ) co-operating with a primary pyrotechnic module ( ) for initiating the charge ( ) of the associated device. The invention is characterised in that it further comprises a lock ( ) engaged with the lever ( ), in storage position, to prevent the fly-off lever ( ) from moving towards its release position, the lock ( ) being configured to impose, when the igniter plug is activated, an initial movement of the lever ( ) countering its displacement required for releasing the percussion mechanism ( ), so as to disengage the lock ( ) and the fly-off lever ( ).
