Definitions

  • the present invention relates to fireworks and in particular a method of illuminating particular patterns with a firework.
  • Fireworks are usually fired on the occasion of a celebration or to commemorate a holiday such as the national holiday of July 14.
  • the object of the invention is to carry out a method of implementing a firework in which the illumination of a pattern is carried out in a simple and risk-free manner.
  • the main object of the invention is therefore a method of illuminating a pattern in a firework in which the pattern is on a panel located between a pyrotechnic piece and the spectators, and made bright by lighting of the firework.
  • the panel on which is the pattern formed of translucent portions is made of a material comprising cells playing the role of light boxes.
  • FIG. 1 schematically represents an embodiment implementing the method according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 represents a heart-shaped panel used for the implementation of the invention
  • Figure 3 shows schematically an embodiment of the method according to the invention using three juxtaposed panels completely surrounding the pyrotechnic part
  • Figure 4 is a section of the material preferably used to make the panels used in the implementation of the 'invention.
  • the system implementing the principles of the invention consists of a pyrotechnic piece 10 deposited on a support 12 fixed to the ground, and of a panel 14 secured to the support 12 by a fixing 16.
  • Panel 14 is for the most part opaque, except for a translucent portion 18 represented in this case by the capital letter A.
  • the panel 14 being arranged so as to be between the pyrotechnic part 10 and the spectators of the fireworks, when the pyrotechnic part 10 is lit, the bright light released by the latter illuminates the rear of the panel 14 and therefore makes the translucent portion 18 of the panel, ie the A, luminous.
  • the panel 14 can have any shape, rectangular, square, circular, etc., and can be of any size without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the translucent portion 18 can also take various forms. In most cases, the translucent portion will be made up of letters, words or expressive sentences such as, for example, the initials of a person, his first name, his name, "WELCOME”, “CHRISTMAS”, or even "HAPPY BIRTHDAY” .
  • the distance separating the pyrotechnic part from the panel obviously depends on the size of the latter.
  • the distance can vary between 1 m and 5 m for a panel whose main dimension varies from 2 m to 10 m.
  • FIG. 2 An exemplary embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 2 where the panel 20 has the shape of a heart and the translucent portion 22 is formed of the initials UM.
  • the light due to the pyrotechnic part being behind the panel creates an illumination of the periphery of the panel due to the diffusion 24 of the light by the edge and thus makes it possible to highlight a particular shape like here a heart.
  • FIG. 3 Another embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIG. 3 where the panel has three faces 30, 32, 34, closing around the pyrotechnic part.
  • the pyrotechnic piece When the pyrotechnic piece is lit, at least one translucent portion such as the portion 36 of the front panel, is visible to spectators who would have placed themselves all around the site where the fireworks are lit.
  • all the translucent portions are identical, but one can very well envisage different patterns for each of the three panels.
  • the panel has the structure shown in section in FIG. 4. It is formed by two walls 40 and 42, not very thick, parallel, joined by partitions 44, 46 and 48 similarly. thickness as the partitions 40 and 42, so as to form cells of square or rectangular shape.
  • the material constituting the walls and partitions is translucent, preferably white (but it could be of another color), so that the cells constitute light boxes by the scattering of light.
  • an opaque coating obtained by painting, serigraphy or other
