Abstract
Abstract An electronic ignition control circuit, including a logic circuit which is powered from a power supply source, for the obtaining of an ignition clearance signal from a combination of ignition clearance signals from a combination of ignition sensor signals, and including an electrical detonator which is ignitable through the intermediary of a switching element which is electronically reversible responsive to the ignition signal.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
In an electronic ignition control circuit including a logic circuit powered by a power supply source for obtaining an ignition signal from a combination of ignition sensor signals; an electrical detonator means; and a switching element electronically switched by the ignition signal for clearing said detonator means; the improvement comprising: an electronically actuatable blocking circuit section connected ahead of a control input of said switching element; said blocking circuit section including a self-conductive shunt element connected in parallel with the control input of the switching element; and a rated voltage-threshold circuit for blocking the control input from the power supply source.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
In an electronic ignition control circuit including a logic circuit powered by a power supply source for obtaining an ignition signal from a combination of ignition sensor signals; an electrical detonator means; and a switching element electronically switched by the ignition signal for clearing said detonator means; the improvement comprising: an electronically actuatable blocking circuit section connected ahead of a control input of said switching element; said blocking circuit section including a self-conductive shunt element connected in parallel with the control input of the switching element; and a rated voltage-threshold circuit for blocking the control input from the power supply source.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
An electronic ignition control circuit as claimed in claim 1, wherein the shunting blocking circuit section is connected in parallel with the control input of said switching element, and is connected in series with the detonator means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
An electronic ignition control circuit as claimed in claim 1, wherein the rated voltage-threshold circuit which is connected with the output of the power supply source includes a voltage divider with a series impedance formed by a zener diode for the blocking circuit section.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
