Definitions

  • the present invention relates to fireworks and particular a method of illuminating patterns individuals by a piece of fireworks.
  • Fireworks are usually fired occasionally a celebration or to commemorate a holiday such as the national holiday of July 14.
  • the object of the invention is to achieve a method of implementing a firework in which the illumination of a pattern is carried out in a simple and without risk.
  • the main object of the invention is therefore a process of illumination of a motif in a firework in which the pattern being on at least one panel located between a firework and spectators, is made bright by lighting the firework.
  • the panel on which is the pattern formed by translucent portions consists of a material comprising cells playing the role of light boxes.
  • the system highlighting work the principles of the invention consists of a pyrotechnic part 10 deposited on a support 12 fixed to the floor, and a panel 14 secured to the support 12 by a fixing 16.
  • the panel 14 is for the most part opaque, except for a translucent portion 18 shown in this case by the capital letter A.
  • the panel 14 being arranged so as to be between the room pyrotechnic 10 and the spectators of the fireworks, when the pyrotechnic piece 10 is lit, the bright light from the latter illuminates the rear of the panel 14 and therefore brightens the translucent portion 18 of the panel, i.e. the A.
  • the panel 14 can have any shape, rectangular, square, circular ..., and can be all dimensions without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the claims.
  • the translucent portion 18 can also take forms variety. In most cases, the translucent portion will be made up of expressive letters, words or sentences like, for example, a person's initials, first name, name, "WELCOME”, “CHRISTMAS”, or even "HAPPY BIRTHDAY”.
  • the distance from the firework to the panel obviously depends on the size of the latter. So the distance can vary between 1 m and 5 m for a panel whose the 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 portion translucent 22 is formed by the initials UM.
  • the light due to the firework being behind the panel creates an illumination of the circumference of the panel due to light diffusion 24 from the edge and so lets 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 firework is lit, at least a portion translucent such that the portion 36 of the front panel, is visible by spectators who would have positioned themselves around the site where the fireworks are lit.
  • all translucent portions are identical, but we can very well consider different patterns for each of the three panels.
  • the panel has the structure shown in section in the figure 4. It is made up of two thin walls 40 and 42, parallel, joined by partitions 44, 46 and 48 similarly thickness as the walls 40 and 42, so as to form cells of square or rectangular shape.
  • the material constituting the walls and partitions is translucent, of preferably white (but it could be from another color), so that the cells form light boxes by the diffusion of light.
  • an opaque coating obtained by painting, screen printing or other except on the front portion light up while the rest of the panel remains opaque when the firework is on.
