Tubular igniter bridge
This invention relates to a solid-state or integrated circuit-type igniter die ( 10 ) having a bridge ( 18 ) that is formed on a non-planar surface of a substrate ( 12 ), and which therefore has a non-planar configuration. Igniter die ( 10 ), according to this invention therefore has a three-dimensi...

| Zusammenfassung: | This invention relates to a solid-state or integrated circuit-type igniter die (
10
) having a bridge (
18
) that is formed on a non-planar surface of a substrate (
12
), and which therefore has a non-planar configuration. Igniter die (
10
), according to this invention therefore has a three-dimensional configuration and, preferably, a configuration that can enclose a reactive material (
26
) therein. In a typical embodiment, the bridge (
18
) of an igniter element of this invention has a tubular configuration. Reactive material (
26
) is disposed within the interior of the tube (
14
) and a charge of electric current is flowed through the tube (
14
) from one end to the other to form a plasma that initiates the remaining reactive material (
26
). |
