Description

The invention relates to a fireworks body arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1, 6 or 10.

Commercially available fireworks, which is not intended for professional fireworks, so-called small fireworks, is offered in the form of individual fireworks or groups of fireworks, so-called fireworks batteries. The fireworks may be those that produce any visual and / or acoustic effects that may also rise like rockets.

While firecrackers have to be lit individually, in firecracker batteries the grouped firecrackers are fired one after the other igniting and burned or expelled one after the other. This also corresponds to the principle of professional fireworks burned down large fireworks. However, among other things, for legal reasons firecracker batteries have only a limited number of summarized firecrackers. This limits the number of consecutive fireworks effects in known firecracker batteries. Therefore, it is endeavored to extend the time of fireworks that burn down after a single lighting, in order to approximate, as far as possible, fireworks fired by non-professional fireworks.

Based on the above, the present invention seeks to provide a fireworks body arrangement, which offers the longest possible fireworks after the single lighting.

A fireworks body arrangement for achieving this object has the features of claim 1. Due to the fact that fuses of at least two fireworks or at least two groups of fireworks (so-called fireworks batteries) are assigned at least one coupling means, it is possible to ignite non-interconnected fireworks or groups of fireworks across, without - as usual - the individual fireworks or Groups of fireworks (firecracker batteries) must be lit individually. The invention thus provides an overarching, automatic lighting of successive firecrackers or firecracker batteries, which eliminates the usual time delays in the succession of pyrotechnic effects of fireworks or firecrackers fired one after the other in known fireworks of the type discussed here. The fireworks arrangement according to the invention thus provides the observers with the impression of a long-lasting fireworks display that gives the impression of a large fireworks display.

It is envisaged to form the or each coupling means such that it surrounds at least two fuses of different fireworks or firecracker batteries at least over a portion of their length. The coupling agent does not have to clamp the fuses together. It is sufficient if the coupling means holds the fuses more or less loosely, so that they lie overlapping on a part of their length close to each other and / or can also touch. It is also not necessary for the fuses to contact each other because the burning fuse of the burnt firecracker or the spent firecracker battery also ignites the slightly adjacent fuse of the subsequent fireworks or the subsequent group of multiple pooled fireworks.

Preferably, the respective coupling means is assigned to the fuses loosely or releasably. In each case, the coupling means surrounds at least two fuses, preferably adjacent or overlapping end regions thereof, in order to hold them together. Such a loose allocation of each coupling agent to at least two fuses can be easily produced and easily removed again by the coupling agent pushed only on the fuses or the Fuses must be inserted into the coupling means. As a result, the respective coupling means keeps the fuses only adjacent to each other, where they can partially touch, but need not.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the respective coupling means is sleeve-like or channel-like. Such a coupling agent is easy to defer on the fuses and the fuses are simply inserted or plugged into the coupling means.

Preferably, the coupling means is formed as an elongated sleeve with at least one open end face. Through the open front side of the fuses are inserted into the sleeve. Conveniently, the elongated sleeve has open end faces at its two opposite ends. Then the fuses from opposite ends can be inserted into the sleeve to be held together thereafter. This cohesion is such that over-ignition is possible, i. a burning fuse ignites the other fuse for the succeeding firework or the subsequent group of fireworks (firecracker battery). A physical, in particular clamping, connection of the sleeve and the fuses is not required.

The coupling means may be formed of a combustible or a non-combustible material. Preferably, the coupling means, in particular the sleeve or the channel, made of plastic or cardboard. The coupling means, in particular if it is designed as a sleeve, but may also be formed of a flexible material, in particular a rubber hose or a hose made of a rubber-like plastic.

Another fireworks body arrangement for solving the above-mentioned object, which may also be a preferred embodiment of the fireworks arrangement described above, has the features of claim 6. In this fireworks arrangement, a plurality of firecracker batteries, which can be coupled together with their fuses, are provided from groups of fireworks firmly connected to each other. By coupling multiple fireworks batteries to their fuses, after firing the fireworks body battery, which is first fired manually, the subsequent firecracker battery and possibly other firecracker batteries following it are automatically ignited. According to the invention thus several fireworks batteries pyrotechnically connected in series or possibly also connected in parallel, so that the individual fireworks batteries are activated one after the other and thereby a relatively long succession of the same but also different pyrotechnic effects is presented to the viewer. The fireworks arrangement according to the invention is based in principle on a large fireworks display.

Furthermore, it is provided that at least those fireworks body batteries, to which a subsequent fireworks body battery can be coupled, have two externally freely accessible fuses. With a first fuse the first fireworks battery is ignited manually. After firing this firecracker battery, the second detonation cord automatically ignites the fuse of the subsequent firecracker battery. Likewise, subsequent firecracker batteries are automatically detonated. The result is a sequential automatic ignition of fireworks batteries by pyrotechnic series circuit of the same. It is also conceivable, however, after a firecracker battery several subsequent fireworks batteries to ignite simultaneously, so that pyrotechnic fireworks batteries are not connected or not only in series, but in parallel.

Preferably, at least two fireworks body batteries can be coupled together at mutually facing fuses. As a result, the series and / or parallel connection of the individual fireworks batteries comes about. The result is that after the ignition of the first firecracker battery, a chain ignition subsequent fireworks batteries without renewed manual ignition takes place. As a result, the number of successively ignited fireworks or firecrackers can be increased. This results in a relatively long-lasting automatic successive firing the fireworks of the individual fireworks batteries. A long-lasting break between the firing of individual fireworks batteries is thus avoided. The fireworks assembly of the present invention provides a relatively long succession of pyrotechnic effects without interruptions due to repeated manual firings.

Preferably, the fuses of adjacent fireworks batteries are held together by a coupling means, eg, an elongated sleeve. In particular, the coupling means releasably holds the fuses of adjacent fireworks batteries together.

The coupling means, in particular the sleeve, has at least one open end face. Through this open end, the fuses are at least partially inserted into the sleeve or the like. In this case, the sleeve can be designed so that several fuses overlap here with at least a portion of their length, but preferably with game, recording. As a result, the fuses can be easily inserted into the sleeve, without causing the risk of damaging the fuses.

According to a preferred embodiment of the fireworks body arrangement, the fireworks or groups of several fireworks, in particular fireworks batteries, are firmly connected to one another. This solid compound can be done in the simplest case by direct bonding, rubber bands or wrapping with tapes. However, it is also conceivable to assign the individual fireworks body batteries or groups of a plurality of possibly already connected fireworks, a common carrier, for example a base plate.

Another fireworks body arrangement for solving the above-mentioned problem has the features of claim 10. The fact that each firecracker or a small group of firecrackers each one foot is assigned, creating a pedestal that gives each fireworks or a smaller group of firecrackers a good stability. In addition, it is possible to combine several firecrackers or several small groups of fireworks into a larger group or a firecracker battery on the feet. For this purpose, it is provided according to a preferred embodiment of the invention that all feet are identical.

It is preferably provided that each foot has at least one continuous channel. The respective channel preferably passes through the centroid of the foot. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that each foot has two continuous channels, which preferably intersect, with an intersection located at the center of the foot. The channels in the individual feet allow the formation of continuous channels through several juxtaposed or successively arranged feet, each with at least one firecracker.

The channels are arranged continuously in a foot plate of each foot. Due to the continuous channels are their in the end faces or side surfaces of the foot plates open ends. This makes it possible, with the aid of the channels adjacent feet to connect with each other by the feet are plugged together and form in this way mating feet. It is also conceivable that at least some end faces or side surfaces of the feet have further coupling means, which allow a connection of the feet, in particular adjacent foot plate. As a result, the feet can be arranged in any row and thereby form a fireworks arrangement of the desired size and number of fireworks.

The mating of the feet, in particular the foot plates, on the side surfaces preferably takes place by means of the channels. Then, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, each chamber at one end to assign a relative to the respective side surface of the foot, in particular the foot plate, protruding connecting sleeve. This connecting sleeve is dimensioned such that it can be inserted into a connecting sleeve having no end of a channel of an adjacent foot plate. With this type of connection of the foot plates of the feet, a continuous channel is created between adjacent feet or foot plates as a result of the connecting sleeves.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that extends through each channel at least one fuse. The at least one fuse extends uninterruptedly through the entire length of the channel, and preferably the fuse is slightly longer so that it projects outwardly at least through one end of a channel. In this way, an overlap of adjacent end portions of the fuses of interconnected, adjacent foot plates is achieved. The channels, in particular the junction between successive channels of adjacent foot plates, at the same time form the coupling means of the fuses. The channels, in particular the connecting sleeves at the transition between successive channels adjacent foot plates, thus serve for two purposes, namely the positive connection of the foot plates on the one hand and as a coupling means of the fuses in the connected or interconnected feet.

It is further contemplated that each fireworks body has its own detonating cord extending into at least one channel of each foot. Preferably, the fuse of each fireworks protrudes into both channels of the footplate, conveniently at the intersection of the two channels at the centroid of the footplate. In this way, the fuse of the firework associated with the foot can be ignited by the fuse in each channel of the footplate of the foot.

In a preferred embodiment of the fireworks body arrangement is provided on the base plate, vorzugsmittig center, so in the center of the base plate, to arrange a sleeve. This sleeve is designed such that a lower foot region, in particular of the enveloping body of a firework body, can be inserted here. As a result, the firecracker is held upright in the center of the base plate in a form-fitting manner. In the middle of the sleeve, the upper side of the foot plate has a through bore opening into the intersecting channels. This through-hole serves to pass the end of the fuse of the firecracker inserted into the sleeve of the footplate with the lower end portion.

FIGS. 1 to 5 show fireworks arrangements with two fireworks batteries formed from a group of fireworks, without the invention should be limited to this. Neighboring fuses of fireworks batteries are according to the invention by a coupling means pyrotechnically coupled or connected in particular in the manner of a series connection to each other.

The firework body arrangement of FIGS. 1 and 2 has two identical fireworks body batteries 10 in the embodiment shown. Each fireworks body battery 10 contains a plurality of combined and interconnected fireworks 11, of which only one fireworks body 11 per fireworks battery 10 is indicated in FIG. The number of fireworks 11 per fireworks body battery 10 may be arbitrary. The fireworks 11 have a serving as a launching cylindrical envelope body 12 made of cardboard or the like. The enveloping body contains at least one pyrotechnic effect set. It may be any of fireworks 11 usual effect sets, for example, those that produce flares, fountains, stars, flashes or the like optical effects of any color. Alternatively or additionally, the fireworks 11 can produce acoustic effects, such as bang or weeping effects. All fireworks 11 of a firecracker battery 10 are pyrotechnically connected in any order or grouping by appropriate Überzündungen. These connections can be made in a manner known per se so that all the fireworks 11 of a firecracker battery 10 are ignited one after the other (in series) and / or simultaneously (in parallel).

The firecrackers 11 of each fireworks body battery 10 may be surrounded on the outside by a cuboidal box 13 in the embodiment shown. The box 13 is fully open at the top 14 or provided with a removable cover (not shown). Through the open upper side 14, the pyrotechnic effects pass upwards through upper-side openings of the respective cylindrical enveloping body 12 of the respective firework body 11.

Preferably, both fireworks batteries 10 each have two externally accessible fuses 15, 16. It is also sufficient if only one fireworks battery 10 has two fuses 15, 16, so that the or each other fireworks battery 10 with only a single external fuse 16 is provided. The outer fuses 15, 16 are each connected to a fireworks body 11 of the fireworks body battery 10, so that the firecracker body 11 of the respective fireworks body battery 10 is first ignited, which is assigned to the fuse 15 and 16 respectively. If both firecrackers 11 of the shown firecracker assembly on two fuses 15, 16 have, can be ignited manually from the outside via the fuse 15 either one of the two fireworks batteries 10. The second fuse 15 may then serve as a replacement fuse 15 if the other fuse 15 should fail. If only one of the two fireworks batteries 10 has two fuses 15, 16, only the fireworks battery 10 with two fuses 15, 16 can be ignited manually from the outside. The two fuses 16 lying between adjacent adjacent fireworks body batteries 10 are used to automatically light the second fireworks body battery 10 from the first fireworks body battery 10. When the last fireworks body 11 of the first fireworks body battery 10 is ignited, the ignition cord 16 is ignited at the same time. By a coupling of this fuse 16 with the fuse 16 of the adjacent fireworks body battery 10, the fuse 16 of the second fireworks body battery 10 is ignited, thereby igniting the ignition fuse first fireworks body 11 of the second fireworks body battery 10 takes place. For reasons of better representability, the fireworks body batteries 10 are arranged side by side in FIG. 1 at a small distance. It is also conceivable that the fireworks batteries 10 are arranged adjacent to each other with adjacent side walls 17 adjacent to each other.

In accordance with the invention, the pyrotechnic connection of the two fireworks body batteries 10 takes place. For this purpose, a coupling means, which is formed in the embodiment shown as a cylindrical sleeve 18 is used. The opposite end faces of the sleeve 18 are open. The inner diameter of the sleeve 18 is dimensioned so that in this the two out of the mutually facing side walls 17 of the fireworks batteries 10 protruding fuses 16 are easily inserted. In the exemplary embodiment shown (FIG. 2), the fuses 16 are inserted into the sleeve 18 through opposing open end faces. In this case, end portions of the fuses 16 overlap in an overlap region 19 within the sleeve 18. Ideally, the end portions of the fuses 16 extend in the overlap region 19 within the sleeve 18 approximately parallel to each other. The fuses 16 can touch each other wholly or partially in the overlapping area 19, but this is not required. It is sufficient if held by the sleeve 18, the fuses 16 in the overlapping region 19 loosely adjacent to each other. The fuses 16 of the two fireworks body batteries 10 connecting sleeve 18 are held by the inherent rigidity of the fuses 16. So that the sleeve 18 does not fall from the ends of the fuses 16, the sleeve 18 is approximately horizontally directed between the Optionally, the sleeve 18 may be clamped between the side walls 17 of the fireworks body batteries 10. It is also conceivable to additionally hold the sleeve 18 by adhesive or the like between the side walls 17 of the fireworks body batteries 10 and / or on the fuses 16.

The sleeve 18 may be formed of any materials, both combustible and non-combustible materials. Particularly suitable are plastic or cardboard. Sleeves 18 formed from these materials are relatively dimensionally stable. The sleeves 18 may also be tube-like made of an elastic material, such as rubber or other rubber-like material, such as plastic with a thin wall, made. The length of the sleeve depends on the ignition characteristics of the fuses 16. Thus, the sleeve 18 may be formed substantially shorter than shown in Figs. 1 and 2. In the simplest case, a short tube or a short tube with a length of a few millimeters is sufficient. Preferably, the length of the sleeve 18 is between 10 mm and 50 mm. The inner diameter of the sleeve 18 needs to be only a few millimeters, for example, between 3 mm and 10 mm, depending on the diameter of the fuse 16th

Figures 3 and 4 show a fireworks assembly, again comprising two fireworks body batteries 10, corresponding to the fireworks body batteries 10 of Figures 1 and 2. The pyrotechnic coupling of the fireworks body batteries 10 takes place as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2. Notwithstanding the first embodiment, the two fireworks body batteries 10 are also mechanically interconnected in the fireworks shown here. For this purpose, both fireworks batteries 10 are arranged on a common plate 20. The fireworks batteries 10 are fixedly connected to the plate 20, for example by gluing. However, other connections of the fireworks batteries 10 are also conceivable, for example by gluing together on two adjacent side walls. Preferably, the fireworks batteries 10 are glued together with those side walls from which no fuse 15 or 16 protrudes.

Fig. 5 shows a third embodiment of a fireworks body arrangement. Here again two fireworks batteries 10 are pyrotechnically connected to each other. In principle, the fireworks arrangement of FIG. 5 corresponds to those of FIGS. 1-4. Therefore, the same reference numerals are used again for the same parts.

In the fireworks arrangement shown in FIG. 5, the fireworks batteries 10 are arranged side by side with a small clearance, such that the sidewalls 17 of the fireworks batteries 10, from which the fuses 16 protrude, are adjacent to each other and have a small clearance. This results in a narrow gap 21 between the adjacent side walls 17. Both fireworks body batteries 10 are arranged on a common base 22. The pad 22 is plate-like and provided with an upwardly facing, circumferential collar 23. Between the side walls 17 of the fireworks batteries 10, the pad has an upstanding web 24. As a result, the firework body batteries 10 are positively secured against slipping in the direction of the plane of the pad 22 on the pad 22. The fireworks batteries 10 may be loose on the base 22, but also be connected to this, for example by gluing. The pad 22, like the plate 20 of the fireworks assembly of Figures 3 and 4, may be formed of wood, plastic, paperboard, or other materials. The pad 22 is preferably formed from a thin-walled thermoformed plastic.

In the fireworks assembly of FIG. 5, the adjacent fuses 16 of the two fireworks batteries 10 projecting from slightly spaced, facing side walls 17 are inserted into the sleeve 18 through the same lower end face. The sleeve 18 with the end portions of the fuses 16 located therein may be laterally adjacent to a sidewall 25 extending at right angles to the sidewalls 17. But it is also conceivable that the sleeve 18 is located with the end portions of the fuses 16 inserted therein in the gap 21 between the slightly spaced fireworks batteries 10 itself.

The inventively releasable pyrotechnic connection or coupling of the adjacent fuses 16 different Füllkörperbatterien 10 for igniting the second fireworks body battery 10 from the spent first firecracker battery 10 can already be made in the manufacture of the fireworks body arrangement. It is also conceivable to produce the pyrotechnic coupling of the fireworks batteries 10 shortly before the fireworks arrangement is used. This allows the person wishing to use the fireworks assembly to decide whether or not to pyrotechnically couple the fireworks batteries 10 so that the second firecracker battery will automatically fire or ignite each fireworks battery 10 individually.

For simplicity, the fireworks shown arrangements only have two fireworks batteries 10. The invention is particularly suitable for larger fireworks arrangements with more than two fireworks batteries 10. It can also be different pyrotechnic fireworks batteries connected by adjacent to fuses 16 pushed sleeves 18. It is Also conceivable fuses pyrotechnic 16 of more than two fireworks batteries 10 by a sleeve 18 to each other to connect or couple.

Furthermore, the invention is also suitable for fireworks arrangements in which individual fireworks 11 are pyrotechnically connected to each other by sleeves 18 plugged onto the fuses. Also conceivable is the pyrotechnic coupling of fireworks batteries 10 and individual fireworks 11.

The invention is also not limited to the rectangular shape of the fireworks batteries shown here 10. It can be any other fireworks batteries 10, in particular oval, triangular or even more pyrotechnically connected with more than four corners in accordance with the invention or strung together. It is also conceivable to connect firecracker batteries 10 with different shapes, in particular base surfaces, pyrotechnically through sleeves 18.

Figs. 6 to 8 show a fireworks body assembly according to a fourth embodiment of the invention. This fireworks assembly is formed of a plurality of firecrackers 27 each having a foot 26. All feet 26 are the same. In the illustrated embodiment, each foot 26 is assigned an externally identical fireworks 27. These are identical fireworks 27 with a tubular envelope body 28, which also serves as a launching tube for the at least one effect set 29. The effect set 29 is arranged in the cylindrical enveloping body 28, specifically via an ejection charge 30. Below the ejection charge 30 is a confinement 31, through which a detonating cord 32 is guided. The fuse 32 is preferably a stop line. An upper end of the fuse 32 or Stoppine located in the interior of the fireworks body 27 terminates in the ejection charge 30. A lower end 33 of the detonating cord 32, preferably designed as a stopper, protrudes out of the same through a lower end face 34 of the enveloping body 28.

Each foot 26 has a cuboid base plate 35, which has a square base in the embodiment shown, which is bounded by four perpendicular thereto, equally sized side surfaces 36 to 39. An underside of the foot plate 37 is planar. On a preferably also flat top 40, the base plate 35 has an annular sleeve 41. The sleeve 41 and the base plate 35 are integrally connected to form the preferably made of a thermoplastic resin foot 26. The cylindrical sleeve 41 is centered on the top 40 of Base plate 35 is arranged so that a perpendicular to the top 40 of the base plate 35 directed longitudinal central axis 42 intersects a center 43 of the top surface 40 of the base plate 35.

In each foot plate 35, two intersecting channels 44 and 45 are arranged in the illustrated embodiment. The foot plate 35 is cuboid-shaped, namely has a sufficient thickness for receiving the channels 44 and 45. The channels 44 and 45 extend along the central axes of a square base plate having foot plate 35 through the base plate 35 so that opposite open ends of the channels 44 and 45 in the side surfaces 36, 37, 38 and 39 of the base plate 35 open. The mutually perpendicular channels 44 and 45 intersect at a crossing point 46 which lies on the surface center 43 of the square base plate 35. In each case an open end of each channel 44 and 45 is associated with a correspondingly formed to the inner cross section of the channel 44 and 45 connecting sleeve 47. The connecting sleeve 47 of each channel 44 and 45 projects opposite two adjacent side surfaces 36 and 37 of the foot plate 35 (Figure 7). The outer diameter of the connecting sleeve 47 corresponds to the inner diameter of the channels 44 and 45. In this way, the connecting sleeve 47 of a foot plate 35 in the no connecting sleeve 37 having opposite open end of the corresponding channel 44 and 45 of the adjacent foot plate 35 occur. As a result, a positive connection between the foot plates 35 adjacent feet 26 is established. The connecting sleeves 27 serve as coupling means, which make it possible to connect the feet 26 by mating individually form-fitting and / or frictionally engaged. The feet 26 are thus formed as quasi feet.

In the longitudinal direction through each channel 44 and 45 extends a fuse 48, 49. The arranged in each individual channel 44, 45 detonating cord 48 and 49 extends continuously through the respective channel 44, 45, wherein in the illustrated embodiment (Fig. 7) an end portion 50 of one end of each fuse 48, 49 protrudes slightly from the respective connection sleeve 47, ie opposite the end face of the Connecting sleeve 47 protrudes outward. In this way, when mating several feet 27, an overlap of short end region of the fuses 48, 49 in adjacent feet 46 is achieved. The fuses 48, 49 of adjacent feet 26 are held together by the channels 44, 45, in particular the connecting sleeves 47, between successive channels. Thus, the channels 44, 45, in particular the connecting sleeves 47, perform the function of coupling means of the fuses 48, 49 of adjacent feet 26.

Because of the intersecting channels 44, 45 in each foot plate 35, the fuses 48, 49 of the intersection 46 of the channels 44, 45 running continuously in the channels 44 and 45 intersect (FIG. 8). At each intersection 46 also protrudes the vertical, serving as Stoppine fuse 32 of the respective fireworks body 27 in the channels 44, 45. The down from the fireworks 27 protruding lower end 33 of the respective fuse 32 cuts under preferably a right angle the fuses 48th and 49 in the channels 44 and 45. In this way, overlap at the intersection 46, both the fuses 48 and 49 in the channels 44 and 45 and serving as Stoppine fuse 32 for igniting the ejection charge 30 of the fireworks body 27. This is a ensure reliable firing of the fireworks 27 of the fuse 48 and / or 49 in the respective channel 44 and 45.

FIG. 6 further shows a protective cap 51 which can be plugged onto the respective connecting sleeve 47 and held thereon by frictional engagement. The protective cap 51 closes the open side of each connecting sleeve 47 of each leg 26. Closing plugs not shown in the figure serve to close the opposite open end of each channel 44 and 45 as long as the feet 26 are not yet mated with the respective fireworks 27. Accordingly, the protective caps 51 and the sealing plugs serve to close off the open ends of the channels 44 and 45, so that the fuses 48 and 49 lying loose in the channels 44 and 45 can not fall out of the channels 44 and 45, ie are not lost. when the feet 26 are not yet put together.

The feet 26 shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 not only serve to form a firecracker battery of a plurality of individually assembled fireworks 27 by plugging together several feet 26. Rather, the feet 26 also serve for the pyrotechnic "wiring" of the individual fireworks 27 through the arranged in the channels 44 and 45 fuses 48 and 48 to ignite as Stoppine formed fuselage 32 of the respective fireworks body 27. When mating the individual feet 26, each with a firecracker 27 a loose connection opposite end portions of the fuses 48 and 49 is automatically brought about, leading to a reliable over-ignition of one foot 26 to the other.

Notwithstanding the embodiment shown in Figures 6 to 8, it is also conceivable to assign each foot 26, a small group of several fireworks 27. For example, two or even more than two fireworks 27 may be provided on each foot 26.
