First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 .- 15 . (canceled) 16 . An electronic ignition unit for a stun grenade, comprising at least one energy source, at least one igniter, at least one control device wherein the electronic ignition device further comprises an igniter driver connected to the at least one energy source and to the at least one control device. 17 . The electronic ignition unit according to claim 16 , wherein at least one igniter is connected to the igniter driver via a channel. 18 . The electronic ignition unit according to claim 16 , wherein at least two igniters are formed, each of which being connected to the igniter driver via its own channel. 19 . The electronic ignition unit according to claim 16 , wherein the at least one control device is configured to control the at least one igniter via the igniter driver. 20 . The electronic ignition unit according to claim 16 , wherein at least one control device is configured to control the igniter separately via the igniter driver. 21 . The electronic ignition unit according to claim 16 , wherein at least one control device is configured to control the ignition time of the at least one igniter. 22 . The electronic ignition unit according to claim 16 , wherein at least one control device is configured to control the ignition times of the respective igniter individually. 23 . The electronic ignition unit according to claim 16 , wherein the electronic ignition unit has at least one radio interface connected to the at least one control device and the at least one control device is configured to trigger the at least one igniter immediately or with a delay in response to a signal received from the radio interface. 24 . The electronic ignition unit according to claim 16 , wherein the electronic ignition unit has at least one radio interface connected to the at least one control device and the at least one control device is configured to trigger the at least two igniters immediately and/or with a delay in response to a signal received from the radio interface. 25 . The electronic ignition unit according to claim 16 , wherein the electronic ignition unit comprises at least one sensor connected to the at least one control device, and the at least one control device is configured to trigger the at least one igniter immediately or with a delay in response to a state or value detected by the sensor. 26 . The electronic ignition unit according to claim 16 , wherein the electronic ignition unit comprises at least one sensor connected to the at least one control device, and the at least one control device is configured to trigger the at least two igniters immediately and/or with a delay in response to a state or value detected by the sensor. 27 . The electronic ignition unit according to claim 16 , wherein the electronic ignition unit at least one position detection device, and the at least one control device is configured to trigger the at least one igniter immediately or with a delay when a specific position is reached. 28 . The electronic ignition unit according to claim 16 , wherein the electronic ignition unit at least one position detection device, and the at least one control device is configured to trigger the at least two igniters immediately and/or with a delay when a specific position is reached. 29 . A stun grenade comprising an electronic ignition unit according to claim 16 . 30 . The stun grenade according to claim 29 , wherein the stun grenade has at least one pyrotechnic charge, each igniter being assigned to a pyrotechnic charge in each case, and/or the at least one pyrotechnic charge being flash and/or explosion sound charges.
